yeah, precisely. i'd honestly be willing to spend $500-$1000 on a "big family gathering" type wedding with food and drink and decorations, but never for a woman who's not willing to do it for $0.
ever since the world decided married couples were something to target and beat down instead of support and give benefits, there's zero reason to get legally married anyway. hell, i've heard some countries will treat you as married legally if you just live together a while when it comes to helping rip you apart later, so it's clear they really want re-atomization to be as common and traumatic as possible.
Go ask your male friends how glad they are they spent 30K on fucking “make me a princess” day. I’ll wait.
