I hope you're kidding. The problem with your sexist proposal is that it assumes that it's only women that want the elaborate wedding ceremony. That is bullshit.

This is probably outable, but what the fuck. I used to work as a wedding planner and in my experience planning dozens of weddings, the groom (and/or the groom's parents) is often just as insistent on a big elaborate wedding as the bride. I agree that generally women are more likely to be insistent on a wedding than men, but not by that large a margin. Grooms just don't get the bad rap as being groomzillas b/c they are lazy and let their brides make all of the arrangements

I will admit that men seem much more interested in the reception than the actual ceremony though.

BTW, I hope that IRL, you have never actually used the phrase "Hey girls."

Agreed. On the rare occasion that Mr. Bunny and I talk about our theoretical wedding, it is he who wants the big wedding (he is more focused on teh reception aspect) and me who wants to elope. The only way I am ever able to get him off this position is to suggest that we could use the wedding money to (no, not buy lunchboxes) buy a '67 corvette (which we both really like). But then he talks about his aged grandmother and how she was so insistant on having a big wedding for his mother that there were 3,000 people in attendance (I KID YOU NOT) and how it would send her to an early grave (even though she's already 87, so I think that point has passed) if he didn't have an elaborate wedding. Sigh. I just want the cash.
