A Kardashian Fairytale wedding
I stand against ridiculous celebrity marriages.
On August 20th Kim Kardashian tied the knot with the NBA player Kris Humphries. The total cost of their wedding was estimated to be six million. Kim has had many relationships in the past; Kris Humphries was thought to be the key to Kim’s heart. It turns out he obviously was not the key. Kim divorced Kris after 72 days of marriage. The cited reason for their divorce was irreconcilable differences.
The short marriage validates that heat of the moment commitments end badly. Love has become entertainment and temporary satisfaction. 50% of marriages in America end in divorce. Huge commitments such as marriage should be taken seriously.
Kim began dating Kris in October of the previous year; they knew each other for about 10 months before getting married. It’s hard to be sure of your true love within a year. Celebrities like Kim, make love look glamorous and easy like a fairytale. Young viewers watch their role models and begin believing love is easy and if it doesn’t work you can always just get a divorce.
Relationships require an immense amount of work and time. In wedding vows couples often say statements such as, “…in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity.” Marriage must be taken seriously in order to have successful families and healthy relationships. It helps to have role models that exemplify good relationships. Kim could have tried harder and her short marriage proves her lack of good decisions and endurance. Celebrity marriages are a joke.
