Fiddler On the Roof has it: TRADITION.
People get real salty if they've done something for generations and then suddenly you want to change things (or more likely things changed around them). See all rural politics.
- sverige 8y agoEven most liberal women become Burkean conservatives when it comes to planning their wedding. I mean, why are flowers required? Why does there need to be some sort of feast? Why is music and dancing required? Why have a public event at all, when you can go to a courthouse, have a judge administer some basic acknowledgement with a couple witnesses, and call it a day?

In my culture, people just went to the Church and got married, followed by an open reception at someone's house or a hall owned by the Church and the ladies made sandwiches. People danced and went home. They were not big events.
