From my Dutch perspective, American weddings as well as the prestigious ring is astonishing to see. It's like an industry.
When my brother married, they went to the city council and signed a document. Later that night they threw a party in their own garden.
Probably didn't even spend 1K in costs, and everybody had a fantastic time and is still talking about it 20 years later. It really was a special day and they're a happy couple.
Just saying, you don't need all this garbage. It's about the people, not the stuff.
- skywhopper 3y agoIt is an industry in the US, for sure, but also, plenty of people in the US do minimal weddings like you describe. I'd be surprised, though, if lots of Dutch people didn't have big expensive weddings as well.
- iteratethis 3y agoThe thing I'm trying to say is that it wasn't a minimum wedding or not experienced as such. Everybody had a blast, was well taken care of, great food, unlimited drinks. Nothing felt minimum or cheap about it.
