  It costs so much money.
  
  Big weddings, perhaps. Not every wedding (traditional or otherwise) has to cost a fortune. Mine cost very little.
context: It’s a celebration and shouldn’t be seen as anything more than that. It sounds to me like you’re more against the idea of extravagant weddings and how it can cause drama. Which is true. But not all weddings are like that and certainly don’t need to be. 
  And you’re against public dancing? That’s a first I’ve heard of anything like that. >
  
  I'm with her on the dancing. I mean I'm not against it for other people... I just don't want to be involved. >
  
  Nawh, weddings are super cool.
  You go to a "holy" place, with all your friends and family, and swear an oath of fielty until death.
  You aren't just promising to your partner, but to the community as a whole.
  It's like being sworn in as a knight. There is nothing else in life where you get to do that anymore. You put your entire character on the line. How often do you get to show your courage to the world like that?
  It's not supposed to make you "happy." Happy is the goal of a juvenile. It's an oath to make the world a better place. >
  
  Haha, the way you make it sound is cute, even if we disagree.
