Thanks for sharing that! It makes a lot of sense.

"a fascinating look at a different culture"

I can understand that, especially if you like fashion as well (I don't).

and how horrible I thought it was that all these "not her family" were watching her wedding, how much I would have HATED that many people watching me.

I think that is part of it, too. I would also HATE it (oh so much hate) if people paid that much attention to me.
