They are brainwashed by wedding shows in tv. Even my modest wife used "my one day" as a reason to over-do it.
They also think they have to take like week long vacations for their bachelorette party.
The need for external validation is a bitch.
You're right. It's an unhealthy concoction of "I need to feel good about this, more money spent will make this even more perfect!" and "Well Denise only spent 1,000 on her wedding and it was small with friends and family. If mine is huge and exorbitant, more money=more love and all my friends and social media will know!" It's fucked.
"my one day"
So when on any other day she says she wants to do something make her pay back that days portion of the wedding expense.
Sorry. For a moment I tried to use logic.
