Re: Weird culture trends that you don't get.

But I feel like if society had more fulfilling roles for women and/or if the women in question had more fulfilling lives, they wouldn't be so focused on this fantasy.

Well, that's just the thing, isn't it? Modern society does have fulfilling roles for women, in the sense that we are fully able to chart the course we want, and to find purpose and meaning in that course.

These are women who find purpose and meaning not when they have a fulfilling role, but when they've captured all of the available attention.

This is likely why people who overspend on their weddings are more likely to divorce than those who go frugal.

"Modern society does have fulfilling roles for women, in the sense that we are fully able to chart the course we want, and to find purpose and meaning in that course."

That's a wishful simplification, and isn't true for all countries and cultures. Sexism and misogyny are still very much a thing, and no, not every person (male or female) is able to fully chart their own course the way you describe.

But I agree that there are people out there who thrive on attention.

No, it isn't true for all countries and cultures, but it is true where people are having the types of weddings in discussion.
