This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why bother with the wedding at all? Just sit on the couch alone and swipe through fake pictures of someone who doesn't even look like you at a wedding that never happened! That's where the real savings kick in!
On the plus side, at least Anon can now dispell any rumors about his love life with photos of his TOTALLY REAL marriage to his 14 year old waifu who is actually an 800 year old wizard!
I'm wondering the same thing, and want to believe the story is fake.
Our wedding wasn't super fancy, but why would I want fake pictures of something that never happened? It doesn't make sense to me at all
I mean, you always see this around new technology/fads, all the time. When it's new or ongoing, there's either an excitement at the novelty or being in the minority of people doing it; people see the chance to do some of the things that fix limitations of the current process and there's always those willing to try that out.
For a day that's already compounded with expectation and often hyped as a sort of zenith in one's life, it's easy to see being able to customize things exactly to the way you're having them play out in your head as really alluring.
And, once the hype dies down or we get used to the novel aspects, all the things you mentioned with get greater focus in the general attention, again, and people will likely value those things more (because, ultimately, you're not wrong).
But I do feel like this is a pretty consistent phenomenon with almost any trend and you always see an uptick of adopters because the ability to solve some pain points is novel.
