Many people dream of their fairytale wedding. Movies and TV shows put big ideas in our heads about over-the-top ceremonies in exotic, far-flung locales, huge couture gowns, and all the bells and whistles. Weddings capture our imaginations: they're parties, yes, but they're also public displays of love, family, and most importantly, of wealth. They're opportunities for the elite to show just how elite they are. And we regular folks love to gobble it up.
Think of the movie Crazy Rich Asians, which displays extravagant wealth at every turn, but culminates in a highly stylized, almost dreamlike wedding scene. It's a cinematic moment with lasting impact, if only because it shows us how a certain level of wealth can unlock different states of reality. In that world, everything is beautiful, flawless, and surreal. But does that happen in real life? One TikToker shared a video of her encounter with this kind of wedding, and it enthralled commenters the world over.
