Wedding Ceremony vs Real Marriage | Fridays with Tab and Chance
Todays episode we are talking about the difference between a wedding ceremony and theatrics vs actual marriage. Marriage is a beautiful thing. These days with social media it seems more people are focused on the how the wedding ceremony looks and are spending less time planning and focused for their marriage. Do you agree? Lets get into it!

Thank you Chance for airing the fact that we as a community need to attend to support the couple and not come just to eat at their expense. We need to change the narrative and financially support couples with a good start.
Married 33yrs and things change everyday. Keep growing and finding different things about yourself.
My uncle and aunt said my husband and I were to young to be married and was having too many babies (that they didn’t have to care for). July 8 it will be 46 years, 3 sons, 3 daughters in love, 8 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Our marriage has never been stronger.
Exactly why we didn’t have a “huge” wedding because ppl just come to eat,drink, and judge. No ma’am no ham no cheese!

Exactly this. We had a small church ceremony --immediate and church family only with no pomp and circumstance. Someone later asked when we were going to have the bigger, more extravagant ceremony. I proudly told her never, that's the ceremony we wanted. ❤❤❤

Exactly! My husband and I got married with just the 2 of us by our pastor. We didn’t tell anyone and when our families found out almost no one even congratulated us. Think I’m planning a ceremony and reception now? I’m not! 🙅🏽♀️😂

Congratulations on your union…Truly sorry that your families didn’t support you. Hopefully, with time they’ll come around.
I currently live in a country that dont give wedding gifts, they give money only to start the couple on the right foot without money issues
We got married in the living room of our then townhouse. I was washing dishes and the pastor rung the doorbell. That was 16 years ago. And you have to also learn how to keep some stuff sacred and private. Everyone does not need to know everything or see every photo or know every trip you take. Marriage is sacred. Its depth. It’s maturing and growing as a unit and as individuals. It’s love when love doesn’t look like unicorns and sparkles.
Chance really snapped on the part about investing in the couple! And not showing up to a wedding empty handed❤ I would also love if you guys did an episode on "People not wishing you well" you touched on it a little bit in terms of the wedding, but can you do an episode maybe talking what it's like to be in your marriage or relationship with family or friends that aren't happy for you? Or are judgemental about your relationship.

Oh this is a great topic to discuss! 👏🏽👏🏽 I have many who aren't happy for me.
Marriage is serious, either you have a ride or die, someone who is a giver, care and love you, like you, like it or not, willing to put God first, staying in gratitude, patient and keep it moving! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Take those wedding VOWS seriously! Because that's the road map to a successful marriage. How quickly we forget our VOWS.❤
Chance, you gave the people something to think about. If you can afford, it give them something to start the marriage off.
There's definitely a difference. I've always considered it an honor to be invited to witness the vows, the actual wedding. The rest is a celebration of those promises.
Chance and Tabitha, you'll gave some great advice on marriage vs. weddings! Having a good marriage takes a lot of work from both partners. My husband and I have been married for 53 years and we thank God for joining us together.🙏❤️
Love all this! We a CourtHouse Couple! We celebrating 10 years of black love and 8 years of marriage! We plan to renew our vows on the beach at 10th year anniversary! We were broke buried in college debt so we decided to go to the courthouse! God is good as we just celebrated homeownership way better than spending thousands on a wedding!
You guys are speaking the truth! 💯 My husband and I have been married for 25 years, but we didn't have much money to put into our wedding. However, we had a beautiful 20th vow renewal, and that's when we spent money. In short, a nice wedding is great, but what's more important is investing in your marriage (key- invite God into your marriage). 🎉
I’m getting married in 2 weeks. Thank yall for this.

Congratulations 🎉 This is all so true. 30 yrs and we have really learned how to move out of each other's way and give space when needed. We both over the years learned to listen to each other. We realized after having kids that we really are a team!😉 Each year we pivot and it has been the greatest tool. Kiss and hug each other every day. 😍🔥Pray together every night before you go to sleep. I also read a short scripture to my hubby every night and he loves it.😉 Blessings Always 💞

Married 38 years and yes things do change in the husband and wife but you can make it work. God bless those who are still married ❤🙏🏾
Chance preach!!!! You so right people need to show up to weddings the right way not with bad intentions and empty-handed!
Love how contemplative Chance is before answering a question and how attentive and focused Tab is on him when he's speaking. Great example of good communication skills. What a beautiful couple they are, I love watching their interaction as they share their thoughts. May God continue to bless their beautiful union and make it stronger and more successful everyday!❤

I appreciate today’s video because my partner and I will be getting married at the court house next month on the fifth. We have decided to just have a nice reception for certain loved ones to attend to celebrate us
You guys spoke truth. July 1st we will be celebrating 46 years of marriage. We faced challenges that were unexpected including my health challenges, raising children and finding out who we are and who each other is. That’s not as easy as you think. Trust in God helped our marriage . The beauty of the wedding alone will not help the marriage survive because a wedding is superficial but BABY making a marriage survive is supernatural and requires understanding divine intervention. Love you guys

And also include picking your battles is majorly important too.Some people stay in abusive marriages for so long they forget themselves.You have a choice always to pick up and leave or stay and continue to be mistreated.Leaving doors open is waaay more miniscule than being with someone who doesnt like to wash,clean up or is overall unsanitary.
First.. The energy and the intro was hilarious 😂. I love yall. But YES, there is a difference in weddings and marriage. My wedding cost $600 and we're still together after 15 years and 4 kids later, because we realized that, this is not that. Chance you are so right about the gifts at weddings, they wanna come eat and talk but leave nothing. Everything you both spoke on was spot and and we need more of that. Also, Chance.. Close the doors😂😂😂.
Listen, the doors left open, spoke to my soul😂😂
I look forward to see the both of you on Friday.😊. Just because at my age of 66 I have never experienced true love, only a broken heart. BUT nevertheless, I am content and celebrate those who have a loving marriage and relationships., which give me great joy😊 from the both of you 🙌🏼

@gtzion6501, may God bless you with a superlative love. A couple at my mom's church got married 10yrs ago. They were both about 70. 1st time marriage for both. They dressed to the nines and the focus was thanking God for this answered prayer. Tender and sweet with each other to this day. May you and your divine spouse find, recognize and love each other...soon. Amn. May your love of God and each other illuminate your lives and be a testimony that encourages others. Now and always may the good-heartedness shown in your comment be rewarded by a circle of people who consistently give you love, respect and support 🙏🏿🤗🙋🏿

Thank you Chance and Tab, this is much needed. On a particular Judge show the bride was asked are you happy with your marriage, she was so focused on an issue that happened at the wedding it appeared she didn’t understand that it wasn’t all about her wedding and it was that she was happy with her marriage. So the judge told her to “look happy” I have been married 46 years and it has been for better or worse. Invest your money in the best marriage counseling and marriage retreats. Marriage is beautiful, but it is work! Pray with and for your spouse.
I’m single and I’m thankful for this topic. ☺️ I feel like some of us have grew up in a society that treats weddings more like a party than a celebration. Thank you Chance for saying that for people(me) in the back!
With my first wedding I and my family did all the decorations. Had my dress made by a friend, food catering by a relative. Performed in a small church. When I get married again I don't even need that much. I just need someone that he and I are on the same page striving for the same goals for the rest of our lives together. I don't even need a social media display to a million people I don't even know.
A lot of people me included be thinking marriage is a Disney movie and over time since working on myself living anyone is hard and has ups and downs so why wouldn’t a marriage we must start living in reality instead of how We FEEL 🤷🏽♀️
I love you guys and Thank you for pouring into us all!! My husband and I are celebrating 5yrs in November. Married in Vegas and did our wedding a year later. Only 80 people, spent 8k but we set boundaries and if ANYONE was late or absent for ceremony they were turned around! We poured into our guest with full experience so the least you could do was be on time for the union dedication!!! We specified no gifts only monetary blessings. Thank God for our tribe of people ❤️
Well said! Grateful to God for a great wedding in 1984 and just celebrated 40 years of a blessed marriage in better and worse and health and sickness . Yes, we have an intercultural marriage and many didn't think we would make it. We always put God first and not culture. Also, had family who supported us with monetary gifts. Thank you again for this episode.
“Y’all keep them doors closed” need that on a t-shirt😂
I absolutely love y’all to death! We need more “real life” content especially when it’s younger married couples. I love y’all 🤍❤️ thank you for being the best internet fairy god parents
We were dating for 1.5 yr before hubby proposed, and we saved up and 1.5 yrs later we were joyfully married, went on the honeymoon in Paris and here we are still going in Christ. 🙌🏾 14yrs this October.... And yes it's Love work and play 💜🎁✨💐💪🏾🤗🥰
Chance you are PREACHING!!!
I hadn't even heard of Wedding goals and marriage goals!! Haha! You are so right. A lot of people spend so much time and effort preparing for the wedding, but never a minute preparing for the marriage. Good point, Tab!
Them good days leading up to the bad days will have you forgetting about the good days. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 thank you chance. I needed to be reminded of that.
Another great show. 28 years married. Going on 33years together. ❤🙏🏾
Chance knows he spoke a word about giving and investing into marriages!!!
I most definitely want the marriage.
I. Like. the wisdom y'all demonstrating & have also experience on FACTS of. your. Own. Marriage is a sacred thing, responsible thing, serious thing, soul ties, partnership, as well as a financial obligation. & agreement. Kinda contract between to ppl. GOD BLESSES that. UNION. 🎉 I like what Chance said regarding ppl. that hate or frown on marriage. I also agree with TAB said it's never to late to get married. But don't put a burden on Ur. Relationship in the beginning as newlyweds. 👍 Very good😊 westside LA Cali auntie Roro ❤
I agree about the gifting aspect because when you look at other cultures, that's what they do. They invest in the marriage to ensure a good start. Much love
Great topic. Wedding Ceremony/Real Marriage used to scare me. Real Marriage all day. God brought me a mighty blessed long way!
People have to realize that they are two different people from different backgrounds upbringing and you have to work to be on the same wavelength or path together. The wedding is one day but the marriage for many will not be like that wedding day.
Not hog tied Tab and Blackie… now that was funny 😂🤣
Tab, you are beautiful inside and out! You have a light about you. Chance is funny but seems like he would help anyone. Truths about marriage , yes ..❤ Enjoy watching your channel!
I’m NOT married. And I will never married 😂 but I grew up around married people and all my friends are married. What I’ve seen and heard smh I said no that’s okay. You really have to work at it 24/7. If you aren’t ready work compromise, communicate, forgive etc. don’t even do it! Love yall so much ❤❤❤
Thank you for keeping IT REAL!!!
Hahaha the ending was hilarious. I love it. Thank you for sharing this great information.
Yesssss, thank y'all soooo much for touching on this topic. My husband and I have been together for 26 years years and have been married for 7 years, we had a small wedding, and our bond is strong....It was all in God's timing....🙏🏽🥰🤗
Loved the intro tonight!!! Great topic❤❤❤
Beautiful convo and much needed thank you both!😊
The good days will outweigh the bad 🥳🥳🥳. Happy to hear that!🙌🏼
Love this one! Those reasons is why my husband and I did not have a big wedding. We did not want any ill talk, folks coming just because. They are not there for the union of two ppl. Not there for the blessings. Our wedding was just our immediate family and our closest friends that truly was there for us.
This was so good!!❤
Definitely more if this PLEASE 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I Flippin love yall!! What a beautiful union you two are
Love these conversations!

Great topic! What Chance said is Real Talk...Some People Just Need to Keep Their Mouths Closed when they don't believe in something like Marriage for example.
Mm hmm. Thanks y’all, for the gems!
Hi Ms. Tab and Mr. Chance! My name is Ky and was wondering if you could speak more about the fear of getting married due to negative family members comments or brokenness or broken marriages! My husband and I had to cut off our entire family on both sides due to this and never had a wedding and just got married at the court house🥰we now have a beautiful daughter and have been happily married for one year! Thank you ☺️
Thank you for so much of what you said here.❣️
