[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once upon a time, people married within their clans and followed the cultural norms for that clan. As long as you followed the rules, no one had any reason to be mad (obviously unreasonable anger has always been with us)

Then people started branching out and weddings required more negotiation, and people who didn't grow up with things a certain way were shocked and dismayed that certain things were being done or not done. And the bride and groom were dismayed and shocked that people were being so difficult.

Now it's clear that there are no universal rules, and all sorts of people are disappointed in other people, and everyone is sure their way is the best way. Have all the thoughts you want, folks, but play the hand you're dealt and don't complain.

Not about the location, the guest list, the location, the ceremony, the schedule, the menu, the beverages, the entertainment, the presents, none of it.[/quote]

I think this is a big part of it, it is culture clash. Even among people of the same race, there can be gaps in class, religion, or other differences that cause problems. People get upset of it isn’t their families way. [/quote]
