What is the point of this? Is it some kind of odd "old-school" status thing? The upper class equivalent of being on the 8 o'clock news for a 1 minute interview? Although perhaps this is only for people already investing a huge amount of money into the wedding ceremony?

You got it with the first suggestion. It's a fun distraction for the well-bred, nothing more.

Getting a write-up in the times is one affirmation that you're a power couple in a certain northeastern old-school way, or a human interest angle.
