You're not kidding! About 5 years ago, one of my Mexican students had this unbelievably lavish quince. No expense was spared.
Recently, she was married and the wedding and ceremony were both very lackluster...not very pretty at all. Several guests commented quietly that it seemed that the quince was the big deal and the wedding was the little afterthought. It wasn't that there was a lack of money in this case--the family is loaded.
It'll be interesting to see if her sisters' weddings are like that too!
