In reply to the discussion: NY shuts down 10,000 person wedding as Cuomo reveals new COVID-19 plan [View all]paleotn

Other than the complete stupidity of that during a pandemic, can you imagine the poor bride's parents? Talk about being financially ruined. It may not work that way in this case, but in my cultural tradition unless the dad is Jeff Bezos, the parents are fucked. I remember my dad's reactions to the nightmare that was my sister's wedding. Mom and dad were completely exhausted when it was finally all over. My wife and I had a quick ceremony with two friends, performed by a local judge in between cases. Her father was very happy.
