comparative wedding review....
As one fellow explained.. there was a period of "wedding competition" where the standards by which weddings are judged got more and more extreme over the years. This has now been reversed but it is still extreme.
10 hour affair More music. More dancing. More food and alcohol. This lead to the current wedding setup which involves 2 or 3 meals for the guests, competitions for best dancer, best dressed, cuted kid, etc. 80 year old grannies sitting watching their grand-kids and great-grand-kids dance to hard bass. The competition for most crazy hair-do and dress, etc............. etc.
I explained that the average British (or indeed Irish or German) wedding is 5% to 15% the intensity of the affair I saw, although probably 5x-15x more expensive to stage in pounds terms, due to venue costs.
Anyway, I explained in response to the wedding I just attended.... speaking for myself I would want a cheap, short, less impressive wedding. with fewer guests.
