I've never understood the appeal of having a big wedding. Attending one can be a lot of fun, but actually planning it all, and spending all that money on a singular day? I don't think so.
At the same time, I realize that not everybody feels that way. For many people, the day they get married is one of the most important in their lives, and they want their festivities to reflect that. One issue that they can run into, though, is that their parents can feel even more strongly about this.
This is something that was recently discussed in an informative and entertaining Twitter thread. When a groom in waiting complained of having to wedding plan with his parents, numerous married and unmarried people alike were ready to sympathize with his plight. Who knew things like flowers, party favors, and seating arrangements could bring out your dad's inner bridezilla?
