if you study english history and the history of european monarchy in general you will know that the people who got to be king and or nobility generally did because they were the most ruthless and murdered and betrayed everyone else till they ended up king. then they announced that G-d Chose them. O’k’ we do know that Hashem appoints Kings , but personally I wouldn’t be so proud of the Yichus knowing i descended form the biggest, cuthroats and gangsters who just mamnaged to get a hold of the throne, to say nothing of their disgusting and immoral personal behavior. etc. so the”gantse velt’ likes to see the pomp and ceremony and the clothes and the carriages. nu, what do you expect from them. I get more “Hanaah’ from any real yiddish chasuna, and the true joy in the dancing and the beautiful glow on the Chassan and Kallahs faces. Lihavdil. Every Jewish wedding is a Royal wedding!! and most of the dressess aren’t bad either. maybe we should start a trend to drive the Chassan abnd Kallah to the Chasuna in carriages as they used to do in Yerushalayim in the good old days when we had the Bais Hamikdash
