Yes, I'm sure it was the guy who wanted the big extravagant wedding that cost $30k and it was the financially sensible women who pleaded to have a simple cheap wedding. For the first time in history that has ever happened.
I would believe every word of this story if the sexes were swapped. I don't believe a single word of it as it's written though.
I have never in my entire life met a single male who wanted an expensive wedding. I have met a grand total one one woman who claimed she didn't want one.
There's a simple visual test: Look at how many married women have multi-thousand-dollar rings on to represent a wedding, and how many married men have the cheapest same-color-metal simple band imaginable. Then compare-contrast with the opposite: Men wearing 4-months-wages rings while the wife wears an iron band. Who spends wastefully on marriage accessories?
That stated, I have known a man who wanted an expensive wedding. Because they were Indian and it was a cultural thing to be wasteful on a giant wedding party to prove yourself better than other people somehow. It was a whole 5-day thing, re-marrying each day for different crowds with different scripts to best show off how they were superior to each grouping. Weird flex, but apparently that isn't uncommon for the richer people out that way, it's a cultural phenomenon.
While I don't doubt your example, I don't personally consider the experiences and cultures of non-Whites to be of any particular interest or relevancy. Browns have a lot of kooky customs, and I wouldn't use them as a point or a counterpoint for any argument made about Americans in the US, especially American women.
You probably want to go take a look at Etsy for wedding bands. There are many women that don't do real diamonds. I personally prefer the semi previous stones.
When you generalize, you're always wrong. No one taught you that as a child?

Covid hyperinflated the wedding industry. The last wedding I attended precovid was 22K. That same exact event would be more than 200k today.
More drama.
There is so lunch wedding drama. I'm going to try to keep us focused.
