Perhaps the whole “chasuna” as we know it is waste of yiddishe gelt?
All you need is a mesader kiddushin who can make sure everything is kidas ukidin and 2 valid eidim and. If people want to be come and be misameach the chassan and kallah, let them do so, after they have eaten their fill at home? Sheva brachos? Let a minyan of men eat together, and at bentching (out of a siddur, not chas vshalom a bencher) say the sheva brachos. Besides, there is no halacha that requires you to make a meal and bench and say sheva brachos, lets do away with that as well. IF there happens to be a minyan, then you can say sheva brachos. Think of all the money saved this way.
