From $1 to $35,000 Wedding: Capitalism Will Not Be Taunted

A couple in Kenya who spent $1 to conduct their wedding has been granted a wedding that costs $35,000 because "everyone needs that dream wedding," as one Events Planner puts it. Holding a wedding for $1 was an affront to a capitalist system that has made many young people around the world to think that a wedding is only worth the name if it is done in a particular way. A $1 wedding is an affront to a system were people go into massive debt in order to be married. In order to make sure that such an affront does not stand, and so serve as a bad example to other would-be couples, some "well-wishers" came together to augment the cost of the wedding. The capitalist formation would not be taunted. Henceforth it will be remembered that it is unacceptable to spend just $1 to conduct a wedding. Weddings, even in African countries where most young people do not make much, has to cost thousands of dollars. Classic!
