I Thee Dread Part 2
Jia Tolentino explores the wedding industry: she's been to 46 weddings which, she thinks, may explain her own choice not to get married.
In this abridged version of I Thee Dread from her collection Trick Mirror, Jia Tolentino explores the cult of the wedding industry: she's been to forty six weddings which may explain, she thinks, why she has chosen not to get married herself. She adds up the costs of modern weddings - from the first engagement photos to the honeymoon - and asks when weddings changed from a private ceremony for the bridal couple and their families, to the extravaganzas we see today.
