Weddings are a humiliation ritual
/r9k/
Weddings are basically like an elaborate, expensive parade for a narcissist dictator. Except in this instance, the narcissistic dictator is the bride.
Think about it, she's the centre of attention. The entire thing, the entire event, entire day is about her. Everyone fawns all over her and gushes over her and tells her how beautiful and stunning she looks. 90 percent of the pictures will be centred around her. In the speeches, they sing her praises non stop. Anything else is basically viewed as complete heresy. Meanwhile, the groom is denigrated and humiliated during the speeches. The best man will make jokes about what a hapless retard the groom is. The father of the bride will threaten to pull a shot gun on him if he dares hurts the feelings of the little narcissist he raised (the bride.)
In many cases, the bride comes riding in on a fucking chariot like she's royalty. Music plays like she's divinity as she walks down the aisle (no such thing happens for the groom).
It costs an arm and a leg. And that's another way you can tell it has nothing to do with the groom. No man on Earth would ever want to spend tens of thousands of dollars on an event that lasts just a few hours.
Then at the end of all this, what's the reward for the man? If the marriage succeeds he basically has to watch his wife get fatter, uglier and less fuckable over the years. If it doesn't succeed, he is financially ruined and doesn't get to see his own children. There's no upsides to this arrangement at all.
Why any man would subject themselves to the humiliation ritual that is modern day weddings and modern day marriage, I'll never know.
