Told my sister her wedding was too expensive at $28,000, and I still think I was right
She spent more on one Saturday than I paid for my first truck, and half the guests were people she hasn't talked to since. Am I the only one who thinks a big wedding is just a down payment on a house you'll never buy?

Half the guests were people she hasn't talked to since" is the part that gets me. Here's the thing nobody talks about: those random guests feel OBLIGATED to bring a gift. So now your sister's friends from a job she left in 2019 are out $75 on a blender they picked in a panic, and she's opening presents from people she'll never see again. That's not a party, that's a tax on everybody's wallet. I've watched friends stress for weeks over what to give for weddings of people they barely know. The couple spends big, the guests spend big, and the only ones who win are the caterers.
