Weddings & Funerals

Think about the logistics of a wedding:

Several people gather, usually at a church, for a ceremony uniting a man and a woman in holy matrimony. The ceremony ends and the entire group usually drives their personal automobiles to a 2nd location for a reception.

Now, the logistics of a funeral:

Several people gather, usually at a funeral home, for a ceremony to mark the end of someone's life. The ceremony ends and the entire group usually drives their personal automobiles to a 2nd location for a reception.

Why then, do we have funeral processions and not wedding processions? Why, do the authorities stop all other automotive traffic in order to keep a funeral procession together, while wedding attendees are "on their own" to find the 2nd location?

Because of the average age of those attending these ceremonies. Because the authorities know the elderly have difficulty functioning behind the wheel. Functioning behind the wheel requires too much concentration and is too complicated for your average senior citizen.

By the way, we (USA) have built an infrastructure dependent on this level of concentration. In addition, we have an aging population.

Do the math- this is NOT sustainable.
