why does this make me so sad: sad that apparently burning man really is dead; sad that the comments make me laugh so hard when i'm trying to give up 'mean' satire; sad that 1%ers are so oblivious; sad that we are right back in the gilded age, without the fun shenanigans of prohibition, jazz, and art deco; sad that it feels like DC is filled with people like this now. i'm tired of this 1% society even though i'm in the 10%. isn't anybody down to earth anymore? brilliant writing, though.

We're supposedly in the top 4%, and I don't feel anything close to being wealthy.

I think the wedding is ridiculous, imo, but if that's the lifestyle, then so be it.

btw - Have you seen Dale Chihuly's works? I have - up close and personal. He's been around forever and is nowhere close to "hippy."

What, do you sit around and graph your progress weekly? hilarious.

Regardless, who is the hottie with no shirt?

That's the grooms BIL.

Agree. The mesh back and sides...so unattractive.

Katie Kiefner is my hero for today. That was grade A+++ snark.

Attending that shitshow sounds hellish. I hope the open bar was well stocked.

For all of the fuss and money, I didn't think it looked like anything special. I have been to much more beautiful weddings that were probably 1/100th the cost of this one. Plus, if you are as much of a self-entitled "fashionista" as this bride, why do you pick that dress and those ridiculous clownish shoes? Also, I was not a huge fan of the french-braided hair. Good entertainment value, though, I will give it that!

Sounds fun and creative to me. They took the traditional elements and put a lot of neat stuff in there.

They were unapologetically themselves.

None of it seemed artificial. They clearly like all of this stuff. The de Kooning and Yoko elements are just part of the Hamptons.

I don't get the sadness or the tsk tsk here, OP. Different folks, different strokes.

The pictures show the "butterfly performers." I hope they were paid well (their faces say otherwise though).

I want to marry into this family

She uses the word "wild" about five times in the photo captions.

I guess if you keep saying it, it will come true and you won't be a boring rich white girl!

I don't know these people but I'm so embarrassed for them: "contribute to one of the three legs of our multinational honeymoon" Yikes, bride and groom, if you can't afford it, don't do it- don't ask others to pay. You just made your honeymoon a glorified gofundme! Description of the wedding has 'custom' everything and you clearly felt the need to showcase your conspicuous consumption. Whatever happened to 'donate to these causes or a cause of your own' if you so badly need others to know you don't need the $?

You mean, extremely wealthy and show-offy? These weren't their ideas. They threw a ton of money at a variety of people with actual ideas and talent, who took the words these people said about themselves and made something out of it. The couple themselves didn't come up with anything other than the funding, or do any of the work. Lame.

Appalling. And the whole reference to Burning Man kinda cracks me up. A sure sign its jumped the shark.
