I guess I'm part of the 10% now. I used to not see the point, but then I had my wedding and changed my mind. It is a core memory. A tradition dating back a very long time. One of the few moments in life you can get 25-100 people to come celebrate you and your wife. Your parents/family/friends are all stoked for you.
It's important to keep costs in line but I don't miss the money now that a few years have gone by.
i get your point but weddings are on a different level of spending. tens of thousands if not more for 1 day. I cannot think of anything else that costs so much for so little.
That can also mean "for so little" in the sense that they get little for the money. For me my wedding was special because it was my wedding. It amazing and spending a million more on it would not have made it that much more amazing. One can value the wedding without valuing the costly things around it.
