I just truly don't understand the wedding industry and why this is commonplace.
It isn't the industry that is dictating that you provide a gift. However, I agree with your point. The tradition of providing a gift came from a time when wedding ceremonies were attended by locals and the newlyweds were generally starting their lives together at a young age before they had time to build up any wealth or possessions. The gift was also meant to be a thank you for providing food and entertainment at the reception.

Yeah I'm shocked how many downvotes I'm getting. Money doesn't grow on trees and if I'm spending near 1000 dollars between hotel, plane tickets, dry cleaning, etc. it just feels like getting a gift on top of it is overkill.
Clearly a lot of y'all don't feel that way.
