Well yeah, spending tens of thousands of dollars on one party is insane unless you're royalty or just crazy rich. Everything about a wedding is overpriced and overhyped.

But it's one of those times when rationality is challenged by emotion and expectations that have been moulded throughout childhood.

Congrats on the free beach party wedding. That's a great idea. COVID or not.
