Nope I think its a waste of money for 1 day, if 2 people love each other they dont need paper and a ring around a finger to say it!

But, if I got a gf who wanted to get married, I probably would. My parents arnt so perhaps thats why I dont see the big deal of it.

I do agree that the money spent on weddings literally makes me shudder.

no. gathering all your friends and family together for a day and publically stating that you intend to love, be faithful, look after and work at the relationship above all else (including legally) does that

I'm a typical girly girl who loves all weddings (whether they're big or not). I don't think it's essential that couples get married, you can proove you love one another in many ways. But it's something i'd like to do in the future if i found someone i loved. So yeah it does kinda matter to me :P

It doesn't though. Being married doesn't keep people together and happy. If they are unhappy together it's ridiculous to stay together just because they are married

I would do it, but its not something I would go out of my way to do...if that makes sense :/

That's how I see it; I see marriage as a religious institution and I think it's very disrespectful for people to try and change that (I'm opposed to gay marriage in the very literal sense, I think equal rights should be achieved but there's no need to change marriage laws IMO... that's another debate) and I would, in the same vein, not get married when I'm not religious, it's silly.
