I don't know the reasons why other people have big weddings, but I can understand the desire. I think there's something nice about having people who have known you in different ways and at different points in your life attend the wedding. It's like all the little memories and pieces of you they carry are part of the blessings as you move on to this next phase in your life.

I know that's totally cheesy. But it makes sense to me.

Of course, even with the 500+ relatives in attendance at my wedding (it was in Karachi; I didn't know most of them, but my parents and inlaws did), there are STILL people who felt neglected or were accidentally left off the invitation list.
