[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s called yankee frugality and is a well documented phenomenon. [/quote]

It's WASP culture. Keep the money in the family [/quote]

No WASP family would host a potluck wedding. [/quote]

But they would absolutely host a tented luncheon reception. An aunt or some other elder would actually wear her ancient kid gloves to the church.[/quote]

Most beautiful and wedding I ever went to was in my cousins back yard overlooking bar harbor. Tent, dj, September afternoon clam/lobster bake. All food was delivered by guests, who also were lobstermen and chefs. Ended with a bonfire and smores

Proud, thrifty New Englander. [/quote]

My favorite was my sister’s — in my parents’ back yard with a rented tent, catering entirely my aunts (we have 10, all of whom like to cook) and grandparents, photography by a local teen, music by guests who brought their instruments.  Morning wedding, lunch reception, happy couple headed out to their honeymoon that afternoon.

The clam bake -> s’mores also sounds lovely.  Definitely miss New England now.[/quote]

The food, environment and the people make a wedding, event or celebration - the intangibles.  Not so much in the DMV area.  I think that is what OP might be trying to get at. [/quote]
