[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big wedding is all for show.  It's meaningless, wasteful consumerism.  What matters is 5, 10, 30 years after the wedding.  Mediate on your gratitude for finding true love and being still married.  [/quote]

A big wedding is of course not necessary but it’s also not “meaningless, wasteful consumerism.” It’s just a big party! It was great to have family and friends together. We had a great time. The end. It’s just. a. party. You don’t have to be obsessed with loving or hating them. [/quote]

You can have a great, big party that does not cost a fortune. The super fancy venue, flowers, etc. IS for show. It is an ego thing, and don't try to make it seem more meaningful than that.[/quote]

It’s not for “show,” it’s for enjoyment. My dad’s 60th birthday cost more than my wedding. It was a great party. They’re just parties. All you really need are booze, food, good lighting, music and places for people to sit. But I love flowers and a great band! Just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it’s terrible. And honestly when you throw a giant party, you spend a lot on local small businesses (and so do your guests if they have traveled). Of the things you can splash out on, it’s pretty good. It’s not “meaningful” but it’s fine! Enjoy the party![/quote]
