The key to a happy marriage is an extravagant wedding, according to a study by the University of Virginia. Researchers believe that marrying in front of a large number of people demonstrates a greater commitment to the marriage and discourages divorce. Dr Galena Rhoades, the lead author of the report, said: "Weddings may foster support for the new marriage from within a couple's network of friends and family. Those who hold a formal wedding are likely to have stronger social networks in the first place."
