re: Apparently begging for donations for a wedding is a thing

For the millennials, at least, I don't think they do it because they can't necessarily afford it - I think they do it because they have seen the successes of crowdfunding for years and see it as a way to offset costs.
I mean, would anyone have an issue with a couple that had a friend who let them use a condo in Maui for free, knew someone that was friends with a golf pro so they got a couple of rounds for free, or had a friend donate some miles to them for the flight?

I'm 33 so I'll assume I'm a millennial.
My issue is that it is becoming common place for people to depend on others so they can do things they can't afford. They almost expect the burden to shift to "the crowd". It used to take a village to raise a child, now it takes a wedding party to go to Fiji.
If someone offers to let you use a condo or gifts you some airline miles I would expect them to be a very close friend or most likely family. Even so I would never ask for something like that.
