>in Italy, a wedding is a contract
Last time I checked it is a contract just about anywhere, including the United States. Marriage rights are primarily property rights. (or "liabilities", ask any divorce lawyer).

In the US marriage involves submitting a marriage application (a short form) and appearing before a clerk. Marriage is a license from the state. At any rate, the difference in bureaucracy could not be more stark.
