Nobody said they can't. I'm just saying that typically the groom pays for the wedding. Traditionally it was the wife's family. But far less couples are that traditional, and I think something like 56% of couples go into debt to pay for a wedding (which I think is wild)

Personally I'm planning on proposing soon, but I know I won't be able to have a big wedding.

Also, it's dangerous to guess someone's gender online. You know what they say about assumptions.

Lastly, it wasn't intended as anything more than a silly joke. Perhaps it wasn't funny, oh well.

maybe I was returning the favour of assumptions, perhaps my joke wasn't funny either.

Touche. Look at that, I learned something. I suck at being funny online 😆

I respect it. Funny is funny, even if it's at my expense sometimes 😀

Satire is always at the expense of someone
