if it was simply what it represents and not about the party or the money involved, i'm sure a lot more ppl would reconsider weddings.
Oh man... I can totally disprove your theory there about women! I am a woman and while I have my preferences for a wedding (to have a decent dress, e.g. around $500, and to have loved ones with us and a little casual celebration, e.g. $5000 MAX)... there is no way in hell that I or any of my more sensible female friends would stand for anything as outrageous as what you quote. Yep, I know it happens... but sometimes I think those people getting married at that price have some kind of insecurity complex. Or, they're filthy rich and have no problem advertising it, lol.

I have also seen plenty of guys get excited about a wedding, so yeah, it's not a clear gender issue. But, I think you're right, women are more into weddings in general... but not all women have the same expectations.
