While I can agree with the author's point on the needless extravagant expenses, her article has a constant undertone of "being married and having kids isn't THAT important!!"

It makes me wonder what our world would look like if female accomplishments other than becoming a wife and mother were equally exalted. If we had First Job Showers, gifting briefcases and business suits, or Promotion Ceremonies, with hundreds of guests flying in to commemorate a woman's move to the C-suites.

Right, because nobody, man or woman, ever celebrates getting their first job.

Being married has been one of the greatest joys of my life, but we had exactly one guest plus the officiant at our wedding, and seven years later, I have pretty much the happiest marriage of anyone I know, with the possible exception of our one wedding guest.

Good for the author, I commend her personal decision of frugality.

However, I still felt the need to fulfill the fantasy, so a year after exchanging vows, we had a big reception for 125 of our closest family and friends. No band, no DJ, no cake, just a nice dinner with an open bar, and I did wear a wedding dress, because I knew it would be my one and only chance. It was fine, but if I'm being honest, there were better ways to spend $15,000.

NEVERMIND. She still felt the need to fulfill the fantasy!

This hamster simply can't be pleased. Demands the end of weddings, correctly bemoans the grand expense, yet still felt the need to fulfill her own wedding fantasy within a year of being married.
