What I hate most is when people say "it's supposed to be the best/most beautiful/most important day of my life" and... what, are you just expecting shit to rapidly go downhill from there? I know what they mean but damn, take it literally and it gets pretty depressing.

For the móney, I live in a country with a big minority of middle eastern people and have seen a lot of their weddings and it's basically an "invite everyone you even remotely know and all their relatives" because it's expected that everyone who is invited will give substantial cash gifts. Which in turn pays for the party and then some. And I feel this mentality/tradition is kind of similar to the whole "gift price must equal attendance cost" thing, and they BOTH weird me out.

I think the "best day of your life" people are, unfortunately, not people who've really thought this through. They just heard it (probably from someone trying to sell wedding-related stuff) and like most people, lack the critical thinking skills to question it at all. Very similar to the "high school are the best years of your life" folks. Like seriously? That's even more depressing.

I think it's partly an unconscious belief/fear that you'll peak in high school, or that your actual relationship with your partner is going to be far less romantic, happy, etc. so you'd better get in that one day of partying.

nayrt

That's just so sad to me. I'm not married but if I were ever interested in doing so, I'd probably do the City Hall thing. Then in like 20 or 30 or so years, if we were still married, that'd be something to celebrate with bells and whistles. Maybe not 29K worth, but something meaningful.
