OK, but most people in the world simply can't afford that, so you must be an outlier.

People frequently take loans and sell assets to afford weddings. It's not unusual for parents to save for weddings right after their child is born.

One friend's parents sold off their car to fund their daughter's wedding

It's honestly all absurd

Seems expensive but, don't forget, at least in chinese weddings you can recoup most of the expense back, from collecting the 'red envelope'. For some couple it even exceed the expense.
