We had like 75 or 80 people, and it was around 10k. You can make it work for on the cheap if you get creative.
It's not insane if 10k isn't much money to you. Where I live, 10k is just a couple months' rent.Ours was $2000 and had 100 people.
Anything over 10k is insane. You can do a ton with little money.
Mine was $240 and had 2 people (us). I don't think we could have even managed to get 30 people to show up, let alone hundreds. Are you all inviting your coworkers and random people on the street?
I have about 30 aunts and uncles alone and that doesn't begin counting my immediate family, my wife's immediate or extended family or our friends.Mine was $240 and had 2 people (us).

What if I told you that I made money by doing so? That would be money lost.
The study is obviously flawed. There's no logical reason to expect wedding costs to have increased by 63% in one year. Fwiw they note for the study the average size is 167 people.
One scam with weddings is the cake. They say you should keep some of the cake for the 1 year anniversary. I said get the hell outta here with that nonsense, I'm not over-paying for a cake just to stuff a big chunk of it in the freezer and have year old cake.
Not a scam, but okay. You just don't understand how it works in some cultures.
Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.
But you're right, I don't really understand you heterosexuals and your funny traditions.

We went 500ish on ours, including the marriage license plus the came for 15ish people.
Who has 200+ family members they want to see for their wedding?
explain time.
cousin is getting married. First male of the family, so big deal.
..
because i am counting like a dozen "wifes" and "hubbys" in that post.
ooh man. Heartattack pending

look, whatever, it's a big deal to them. i'm fine with that. i was just asking for clarification that "first male of the family" indeed meant just that, instead of maybe meaning something else that i might actually agree is a big deal.What does that say about something being or not being a big deal?

what do you mean by "first male of the family"? first male person of that generation to get married? that doesn't sound like a big deal.
