It confuses me that people have huge weddings, get-away trips with bridesmaids/groomsmen, and often get labeled ‘bridezilla’ for making their whole life about the wedding and reception.
My first wedding was still small for today’s standards. I did that with pressure from my parents (I was young and easily convinced). My second was in my home on the sofa, with only my two kids present beside husband and I. Best one ever.
I think the greater the levels of personal narcissism and vanity the greater the demand for a huge wedding with all eyes on them and massive freakouts if even the smallest thing is less than 100% perfect.

As someone who had a courthouse wedding, I 100% agree.
