They want to out-do their peers in the choice of venue, food and yes, the show. It's actually not so surprising, given that if you make your own show, then the performance is probably the least expensive part to "upgrade". I once read a book (Postman's "The Disappearance of Childhood") that said that just within a few years since the invention of print, it was considered common practice to print page numbers. Any book that didn't was very quickly considered sloppy. Dancing like a YouTube wedding is the new page number.
