'How [...] did a spray tan cost more than the cocktail hour': Bride shows full breakdown of $18k wedding costs, commenters question her choices

Humans are nosy by nature. We'd like to know what's going on in other people's lives. If I had the ability to super-hear when I wanted to, I would eavesdrop on everybody's conversations. I wanna know all the interpersonal drama of everybody's friend groups, what their dreams, hopes, and desires are, and how much money they're spending. That last one is a big one. At least in this country, people can be pretty tight-lipped about money.

We think it's gauche to talk about how much you make, how much you spend, and how much things cost. If you're well off, you don't want it to seem like you're bragging. If you're less than well off, you might not want the world knowing the inner workings of your finances. But we're curious people. We want to know what your bank account looks like. And sometimes you see a wedding on Instagram, and you wish you could have their budget breakdown so you can know just how out of reach it is. Well, one Redditor provided that in great detail.
