I understand "huge" as in a lot of people. Seems pretty typical in lots of countries for "the whole village" (metaphorically or literally) to be invited. At the core, it seems like they are an excuse for a community social event.

But the price tag is what I don't get. You know, I can even understand the tradition of the bride and groom's families pitching it to put on a great party. That doesn't seem all that boggling to me. But everything these days is so over-the-top expensive. I mean, sixty years ago weddings would've been done in church basements, potluck style. Now everything must be ridiculously fancy and expensive.

Not that I want a church basement potluck wedding, fuck no. But it seems like things could be just a little simpler.

What double sucks is most services upcharge a TON for weddings. Like ordering the same flowers for "a wedding" versus "a party" will usually be WAY more expensive. Idk why but yeah.

ayrt that wasn't really the point of my comment, and I'm gay, too. My point was that weddings were more typically done at some kind of community or religious center previously. My parents had a backyard potluck where my mom, the bride, helped make sandwiches for everyone.

Seriously, the alternative to "church basement potluck wedding" isn't lavish $100,000 Disneyland resort wedding.
