Ok, I can see that pricepoint with those metrics.

In my wedding culture (African), a small wedding has 60 guests, and a respectable one cracks 100. If you're doing that anywhere in the West, you're racking up a charge even if you're trying to be frugal.

But it also doesn't feel good for many people to have to scrimp and save on one of the few big social events of adult life, besides the funeral.
