People should look for shidduchim based on compatibility, hashkafah, and a whole bunch of other things based on the person. Not based on geography. Don’t make or break a shidduch for a lifetime based on factors related to the one night event, i.e. the wedding.
GH: Have you been watching at all lately? People from everywhere make weddings in Lakewood because they are significantly cheaper, and simpler. One check covers almost everything. Wedding hall, caterer, photography, video, music, and flowers. Not because of where they live. I have married off 5 daughters, BH ka”h. Only my first was in the OOT community in which I live. One that was made with another OOT mechuten was in Yerushalayim. The other 3 were in Lakewood. Two of the mechutanim came from Brooklyn, and the other from Canada. You don’t have to be from Lakewood to make a wedding in Lakewood.
