Why don't you ever see elaborate and expensive weddings at Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Halls like you see at other churches, or are they just too cheap, and don't care about their daughters having a wedding people will remember for years?

    It's usually very modest at the Kingdom Hall's, we don't like to be 'showy with our means' but having modesty with the respect of our Creator at his place of worship. There have been very elaborate and expensive/showy weddings, that I've been too, but it just had to do with their outlook with what's important to have in a marriage, an expensive one day, or money to help have a place to live or even to continue in their pioneering/bethel/service. It's their spiritual state that says a lot about one's wedding, what's truly important to them- either-showing off expensive material things-perhaps making others feel inferior, which, as witnesses viewing our brothers and sisters as being above ourselves, would try to avoid, being more spiritually aware of how Jesus viewed the temple of God in Jerusalem when throwing out the money changers, sellers of doves, making a mockery of a place of worship. It's a gathering hall for worship or other special meetings, eg: weddings, memorials, special visits from traveling brothers, pioneer schools, etc, or whatever the brothers may need it for. It is a special day, something that will be remembered for the important part, the bringing of the two to become one as a couple, not by the stuff they have at their wedding and how much they spend.
