Let me start with my experience.
Firstly,I will get a invitation of a wedding,which tells me I'm supposed to be there at some specific time.
Then,I will realize nothing is available except money.I mean in my country people donn't buy anything like jewelry or vintage for the new wedding. I'll stuff money in a delicate package in red for this step.
At last,It's the show time of my stomach,I can indugle myself in all the food and wine in the wedding party.
However,I'll really feel happy for the couple if the bride or groom is one of my closest friend or relatives,but if not,I'll feel pretty uncomfortable,coz I know the just need money not congratulations and blessing from u.
Tell me something about u, my friends.

That is very interesting.. A new insight that I hadn't really thought about.. but you are right! The wedding of dear friends and relatives IS different than being invited to a wedding where you don't really know the people so well but yet it costs you plenty of money just the same.
THAT gives a different meaning to me also. You eat a great meal(usually)and toast the bride and groom and have a nice time, but there is no personal attachment. You help to pay for their wedding, really. as I see it.
It has been awhile since I went to a wedding. My own wedding has been simple with good friends and relatives in attendance.. that felt very comfortable.

BUT, I have been to weddings where, BEFORE the wedding, the Women would have a party where they would bring gifts for the bride who also was there. These gifts would be valuable/ expensive things. Then these same women and their partners would attend the wedding and give yet another gift,, even greater in value..And THAT, I really disliked. Too much emphasis at setting the couple into a comfortable home with all they need , than wishing them well in their lives.
This may be old in tradition, but I would rather have friends join to share happy times with me and not that they must share their money with me.
