My birth day was many years ago, I was small and have no memory of the event. Yes, the celebration of the anniversary of my nativity would make sense for parents while small. I had survived another year, not all smalls do. Just after 21 (legal) and possibly 25 (lower vehicle insurance) the reason grows increasingly thin with the years. We are all alive another year.

weddings… The opera Lohengrin a notable influence
mothers/mother-in-laws forever competing to control
my feeling always such should best match the brides wishes
outside influences not adding more financial burden
finances so often a marital wedge, yet family wishes can often start the new pair in debt
–
my own was more large BBQ with minor formalities proceeding
the event more of joining families in a new relationship
my partner of 13 years and I sharing the cost, we had the means
a community farm the location
–
daughter's wedding was the opera, both mothers adding extensive embellishments
as much a public social event, the kids having to dig their feet in at times to keep some parts of it theirs
fortunately the kids had no added financial burden with it, such is not often the case
my honor to escort the bride as she had asked, it would not have upset me had she not
our relationship never one of property, a person always
–
baby/bridal showers best help diffuse expenses, worst inspire competition
sadly welcoming new neighbors is so uncommon now to the detriment of community
