Just remember it is one night. And while am extravagant wedding is definitely a beautiful goal to work towards, you need an excellent photographer to capture everything. And you can still have extravagant and be thrifty, for example, warehouse flowers are the sameflowers your florist gets and are way cheaper, so of you or someone you know knows how to arrange, they can give you your flowers as a gift by buying them and arranging them or just arranging them even because that's mostly what you pay a florist for.
@morganwinchester "if you can afford an extravagant wedding, why can't it be shared? "
The meme doesn't say expensive weddings "can't be shared", or that they shouldn't be shared, or that they were in any way bad or to be criticized. They !need! not to be shared, cause when you got the money, it's not that much of an effort to arrange for a great, kick-ass party. Its a nice thing for the people having it, any maybe for the people watching the pics, but not very inspirational in itself.

The bread party is inspirational because there (and also in america and europe) it is pretty common to run into debts for throwing an "adequate" wedding party. This meme doesn't exclude anybody or criticize rich persons for throwing expensive parties. It's trying to encourage poor(er) people to run into dept (and thus make rich people richer btw) just to comply with societies expectations.
I didn't say there was anything wrong the the bread wedding. It was very humble of them to do that. But it says "These are the wedding stories that need to be shared, not the extravagant ones with the unnecessary pomp." I'm just saying if you can afford all the unnecessary pomp, why not? I'll share my wedding whether I have a very basic one or one that I spent my life savings on.
I didn't say you said anything was wrong with the bread wedding. And I didn't say there was anything wrong with the way you plan to celebrate your wedding or how you want to share it. Why do you think the meme (or my posting?) is directed against you? It doesn't say: don't do it, don't share it. What it says is that their wedding is probably giving society a more positive impulse than expensive weddings. It probably doesn't have anything to do with you.
Kudos to this couple ! Rather than impressing guests for a day in exchange for a likelihood of cripplinh debt to finance a lavish wedding, they got practical and realistic. Not something you see everyday in today's materialistic world.
I actually prefer bread to wedding cake. Cause wedding cake generally is covered in fondant, which I find disgusting. Plus, I'm a sucker for good bread. Or just white bread. Cause we only have whole wheat at my house.
