I have a good group of friends and a reasonable sized family. I can't wrap my head around these weddings with 100-300 guests. Am I a loser or are they inviting mostly tertiary characters.

My dad was a general contractor. The plumber he used was Italian, the woman he married was Italian. They had around 800 people at their wedding. The wedding cost about $150,000. And they walked away with about $20,000 extra in gifted money. They had 8 groomsmen and 8 bridesmaids.

No, you're not a loser, just some people have life on easy mode.

This was about 25 years ago too.

    Ok... I can understand that but... What does the plumber have to do with it? Was he "laying pipe"?

    The plumber was the one getting hitched to the other Italian. A bit of ambiguous pronoun use there.

    Oh, it was a general contractor marrying the plumber. That makes sense. I read it as 3 separate people.
