I just do not get why anyone would spend that kind of money on a wedding under circumstances where they have to borrow to do it, which supposedly anywhere from one third to three quarters of people do. If you can afford to pay cash and want a big party, okay, fine, it's your money. I don't have to get the appeal. But, supposedly, some high percentage of people actually go into debt to get hitched. And that's just seriously problematic.
