That is their choice, and so it should be. The wedding industry is a huge business that simply caters to a couples wishes. If they want a small, intimate wedding, they should be free to have that. Likewise, if they want a lavish, extravagent, once-in-a-lifetime event, give them one. I agree that it is of no right to manipulate the bride into having a huge wedding, but, in my opinion, the point is no one does. Whatever the couple wants, that is what they are entitled to get.

I also lay a lot of the blame on the bridal media. My concern is that if the current economic slide holds on for to much longer we may be in for a backlash. Then rather than the ultra lavish affairs returning they will remain out of favor for a good long while. To some extent we are the cause of the mega-wedding trend.
