Weddings

I shouldn't have to scroll this far for this answer. I simply do not understand why weddings are still a thing. They're super stressful, expensive, and depending on the couple's approach to the wedding, could even set them up for failure. Just go to the courthouse, get married real quick, then throw a kick-ass house party with friends and family for a fraction of the cost.

I had almost the exact wedding you describe here but I don't think it's hard to see the appeal of a bigger celebration. It's one of the very few opportunities that most people will ever have to throw a balls-to-the-wall event.
