I find the whole crazy big white wedding culture kind of mystifying. It seems to have bled out into European habits, I assume via Hollywood, and it just seems so unnecessary. People spend tens of thousands on a wedding, even in times of financial security, that seems unduly excessive. It’s especially boggling to think that American Christianity is predominantly protestant, which fled Europe to escape the decadant fiscal overkill of the Catholic Church!
