I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve never understood the appeal of having a big wedding. Maybe it’s just because female socialization failed near-totally on me? I think most wedding dresses are hideous, I don’t have any interest in being a “princess” for the day, and I’d much rather spend all that money on something else!
I can see why people like small weddings, though to me it just doesn’t seem as important as people make it out to be. Then again, I’ve never been in a serious enough relationship with a woman to be thinking about marriage. Perhaps this changes when you get to that stage?
When I imagine getting married, it’s a casual event with a few close friends and family members in the audience, set in a forest somewhere. What are your thoughts on weddings?
Did the original post bring up that strange statistic that correlated a high concentration of pedophilia and registered sex offenders with Trekkies?

I was trying to look for where that claim I just mentioned was sourced from and it seems to originate from a now-deleted article by the LA Times from 2005.. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has more info about it, please let me know. Sorry for the weird tangent.
