At the beginning of this work, the history of the wedding, its religious aspects are briefly described, and it is explained when the wedding began to be worshiped in the Western European culture. A wedding is a rite of marriage between a man and a woman. The wedding ceremony as a ritual has been present in human culture since ancient times. Although the wedding has always been considered a spectacle, over time weddings have undergone many changes and transformations. The paper explains the spectacle as a performance and lists different types of performance, after which the paper presents a wedding ceremony in the context of a cultural performance, which deals with the practice of human performance within culture. Today, marriage is a consumerist practice, and the reason for this is that today's postmodern society is tied to profit and profit. We are witness to daily depictions of glamorous weddings, which the media shower on us. The aim of the work was to show how customs and traditions have become a spectacle and a sensation by which popularity is measured, that is, there is material competition. The paper concluded that weddings today represent a specific consumer experience with numerous pressures that distract couples from the heart of the wedding, which is themselves and their love.
