Over-done/cheesy Wedding things

I guess my pet peeve is that in my city I average about 3-4 wedding invites in a season and lately they all have been the exact same format…the same social circle with each trying to one up the last one.

Traditionally, Pakistani weddings have always been about familial fun, raw excitement and blend of apparent joy and hidden melancholy, and depending on what type of lavish weddings you attend, certain lavish weddings lack these features. Everything feels too stiff and ceremonial. Besides, the whole idea of big fat white wedding is also on decline in Western countries, so people in general prefer minimalism over extravagance these days. However, many Muslims tend to not like lavish, over the top in your face luxurious weddings on religious basis and there’s nothing wrong with that in my eyes. We all have our own taste and preferences.

I apologise if my post came across as rather hostile! This was not my intention at all but I was busy with something else (decided to give making french macarons a try) and wrote it out rather quickly without rereading it. Lol.

The reason for my comment is that lately I’ve heard several comments regarding lavish weddings on here (not in this thread) that I found rather extremely negative and bordering on put downs. One would think that these individuals (the ones complaining) had a gun to their heads and were forced to attend these weddings, which I found a bit distasteful.

No one has made any comment of that nature in this thread but I guess I had that in mind since I read some of those prior to reading this thread.
