As the coronavirus pandemic unfolds, the wedding industry faces an unprecedented challenge and couples are downscaling their celebrations.

"Wedding culture is usually sold as ‘your perfect day’ and once that wasn’t possible anymore, I saw the reality of what I was spending on one day and it was a wake-up call," Geng told NBC News."I spent half a year looking for and interviewing vendors. I had huge Excel spreadsheets noting all the nitty-gritty details and it all became very complicated and I just couldn't be bothered anymore.

“My mindset shifted completely and I felt more free once I started looking at it as a regular party,” Geng said. “I realized I was influenced by my friends who had these grand events and when costs started racking up, I shrugged it off as normal.” "One thing that works out really nicely is that with a larger wedding, even if it has all people you love and care about and want to be there, you just get swarmed," Ewell said."There's no ability to really spent quality time with the people you're closest to in your life because you're mobbed by well-wishers ... That is something I'm looking forward to with the smaller ceremony.

Thanks democrats for ruining our lives. Thanks for ruining the economy for political gain.

Honestly, I rather spend all that money on a really nice honeymoon that I'd enjoy. I always felt like huge wedding parties is more to impress and entertain guest while the bride turns into a stressed out Bridezilla. Lol. Ugh. No thx.
