In reply to the discussion: NY shuts down 10,000 person wedding as Cuomo reveals new COVID-19 plan [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(101,266 posts)4. No one knows 10,000 people personally
It's absurd to have that many at a wedding, whatever the conditions. As an example, it was reckoned an old head teacher of mine had a fantastic memory for students and former students' families, but that meant he could perhaps remember 5,000 people at most. Not "be friends with", just be able to recognise them, know what their job was, or how many children they had, and other basic details. Inviting 10,000 people is either an attempt to break the system, or a stupid brag of how many people you can afford at your wedding.

OP
You can fit 10,000 people in an arena if they all sit down in rows

My money is on that the son or daughter of one of the Hasidic Rebbes is getting married.

Who's stupid enough to hold a 10,000 person event in the middle of a raging pandemic?

The only people who have 10,000 wedding guests are mafia dons and Kardashians. Nt

And Hasidic rebbes. The sect in the video are, I believe, Satmars, although their hats
