Wedding craziness

I was reading this post on reddit from r/JustNoMIL and found this post:

While I sympathize, there are so much WTFs in this. $20,000+ budget for a wedding?? I know there are people who spend even more than that, but honestly, if someone not coughing up 2K is going to put your plans in jeopardy, your wedding is too expensive and you should've planned something you could actually afford. And who the hell dreams about their bridal shower since age 14? JFC. If someone I cared about didn't have anything bigger or more ambitious to look forward to than a freaking bridal shower, I'd feel so bad for them.

Good lord. Don't do this to yourselves, people-who-want-to-get-married. It's one day out of the rest of your lives. Unless you're independently wealthy, it's insane to drop that much money on a big party that I promise you, most people will only enjoy moderately.
