Wedding B$


A few months ago I wrote about college (as well as brilliantly outlining the reason for the disappearance of the middle class, it turns out) HERE, to wit (whit?):
I've noticed that college has become one of those rare things that the more useless and market-flooded it is, the more expensive it is. What the hell does being a college graduate even mean anymore?

Today it occurred to me that a similar juxtaposition has been happening with the modern wedding - the more inured we've become to the outrageously absurd high costs of a wedding (ie $10k for a cake that nobody really gives a shit about), the higher the divorce rate rises. The more we insist on being made to pay for weddings, the less likely we'll be married as time goes on. Wtf?
