The article critiques modern wedding lists, particularly those like Tesco's which offer practical items such as toilet paper instead of traditional gifts. It highlights a cultural shift where many couples already share homes before marriage, leading to a focus on utility rather than luxury. The increase in wedding-related debt, averaging nearly 4,000 in 2022, is also addressed, suggesting that the exorbitant costs of weddings have shaped these practical gift preferences. The author expresses concern about the implications of this trend for future celebrations.
It's much more practical to help a newly married couple out with their weekly shop, as two in five prefer practical gifts over extravagant ones.
As much as Tesco is making out that it's helpful to be practical, it's also a result of the wedding industry growing so wildly out of hand.
