Your wedding and funeral are the only two times everyone you care about will be in one room. And you only get to experience one of those.
It's one of the few smart things to spend money on.
- tomp 3y agoSounds like a great way to not spend a lot of time talking to any of them. Precisely why I prefer small intimate events with my friends and don’t want a big event like a wedding.
- lelanthran 3y ago> Your wedding and funeral are the only two times everyone you care about will be in one room. And you only get to experience one of those. And yet, during both those times you will have no meaningful engagement with all those people you care about. If you want your wedding to be a meaningful event, you need to keep it small; the larger a party[1] is, the less engagement the host will get with the average attendee. [1] You shouldn't forget that a wedding is nothing more than an expensive party that everyone else will forget.

- lelanthran 3y ago> This was not my experience at all, for what it's worth. You had a large number of guests and meaningfully engaged with all of them?
- mplewis 3y agoWhat are you talking about? I remember everyone who was at my wedding.
- lelanthran 3y ago> What are you talking about? I remember everyone who was at my wedding. So? I didn't assert that you wouldn't remember, I asserted that in a large party the host cannot meaningfully engage with everyone.
