Yeah, I feel like 'tradition' is a horrible reason to do anything, particularly something that's going to take up lots of time, energy, and (in the case of weddings) money.

I think I'm also running up against my own sense of isolation from any given community, and not feeling a need to signify anything for them. Which I freely admit is my own quirk.

Ceremony as performance works for me. It's ceremony as going-through-the-motions that grates, when the performance is bad (or simply dull and drawn-out) and the meaning's not there either.
