You have no idea what your talking about even if you have attending a sealing. They are sacred and beautiful (IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT, which you obviously dont) A LDS bride and groom can get married wherever she wants then get sealed in the temple afterwards, but BECAUSE THEY WANT TO (not forced or pressured) they decide to get married in the temple. As a LDS bride, my husband and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to marry in the temple, even if not all of my family can make it.
And I think the extravagant wedding today put the sacredness and importance of marriage to shame. People in our society tend to focus on the excitement of the celebration, and not the joy of the start of a marriage and a family. An LDS temple sealing helps the family, friends and most importantly the couple getting married remember that a marriage is what is happening, not a booze filled celebration. I am an LDS bride and even though I can get married wherever I want and still remain a valued member of my church, I would not have it any other way than in a beautiful and sacred temple.
