sabi nila its the marriage that counts not the wedding, but still it is important to happen in a couple.. it symbolizes your commitment to each other.. hindi naman importante na bongga ang kasal, bonus na lang yun if ever, ang importante eh makasal kayo.. may papeles, may contrata, may pirmahan, may commitment na kayo sa isa't isa forever.. it shows respect also to your parents, ang makasal kayo ng bf mo.
