Anyone who's ever gotten married will tell you that weddings are very expensive. $4.5MM is a couple of orders of magnitude above average, but not out of line - what else should they spend their money on if not a declaration of their mutual love?

Snort! My wedding cost less than $100 US. (Now if we had "fuck you money" like the individual in the article, my wife could have possibly spent 6 figures on the honeymoon instead of road tripping and budgeting.)
Two of the most expensive weddings, ($200K+), I've been invite to or a groomsman in, both ended in divorce within 2 years.

If they love nature as much a they say they do they could've had a measly $1 million wedding and spent the other 3.5 on conservation.
Did you read the article? His response? That is what they did. At least 2.5 million of it went to conservation initiatives.

I did read it, yes. From what I can tell they paid $4.5 in site preparation, and the $2.5 million was on top of that.
