Weddings aren’t cheap – well, most of the time.  

In New Zealand, the average wedding costs between $35,000 - $45,000, but depending on your tastes and needs, it can grow much higher.  

The recent wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez cost somewhere between $20 million and $50 million USD – roughly 200 times more than what the average Kiwi spends. 

However, one columnist points out that compared to their wealth, Bezos and Sanchez actually spent quite little. 

So Kevin Milne is wondering, is it Bezos who’s being excessive, or is it the rest of us.
