Someone said no one likes to go to weddings. Just call me no one cause I *kitten* love the *kitten* out of attending weddings. What’s better than good food, booze and dancing all night long with (mostly) strangers?
Ps I currently have no kids but even if I did they wouldn’t be attending any wedding that wasn’t a family member. I don’t see the point in bringing small children to weddings...they just get in the way of all the fun.5 -

Pacific Islands weddings (traditional Polynesian) are all about the the groom's mum and the bride's mum. Relatives choose to gift the couple or the mothers "thank you" chests or both. Even if the couple chose to have a small wedding eg. registry, immediate family only, island get away wedding ... Extended relatives will hire a park set up with marquees or a hotel ball room and celebrate your wedding WITHOUT YOU or YOUR groom with stand in proxies. ALL because you decided to "be Westernised" and have a guest list. Islanders DON'T DO guest lists ... It's rude ... Guest lists are dishonouring the mothers of the couple, in forcing them to choose between relatives and friends who've apparently helped with your rearing. Even ALL your babysitters and nannies are invited.
@children. There's always a children's Marquee where they eat, play and are seemingly never in need for carers. Relatives volunteer ... Could stem from a strong Methodist set up.
There's always a party marquee and a groom's marquee and bride's marquee. You can fraternise or not with the other side.
Common to attend a wedding and not know the name of the groom/bride. You only know your relatives.

Such extensive and elaborate affairs sound pricey and very dependent on socio/economic classification - even if more than one family is pitching in. What's described above sounds like something enjoyed by folks at the higher rung of that ladder.
Ordinarily, yes. Very astute of you to mention@ladder. Price points will differ depending on the host proxy countries. Oftentimes they will inform the bride or groom's family who may or may not tithe towards the gathering. We are a culture of "find your door" which is oftentimes humbling to witness and feel grateful about that so many people want to commit funds to your one day event (Western) or 6 days plus church and the farewell feast in day seven. Then again, I wouldn't call Islanders fussy diners or guests. A huge lechon per #guests and decent sides plus dessert and wedding cakes - they're happy. It's not really a per plate dinner service as mentioned by Deadlifts and Sprinkles ...$100 per guest - most of us would elope. If you can afford a hotel buffet, Islanders are happy guests.
Family friends pitch in too. Eg. There are mining & timber companies in Australia who ALWAYS pitch in to any wedding from our direct line as our maternal great grandfather was a signator to them accessing our minerals and timber. Their children and some of us all attended the same schools in Australia, NZ and UK. If we are in Perth, we don't pay for anything. It's comped by them - they're fortunate we're all in the islands, US or UK mostly. Lol.1 -

Yeah I don't know what happened. We were on page 1000 earlier today
It had to have been someone pretty significant to lose 2 pages, right?
That’s a lot of posts.
