Live stream the ceremony

消减仪式规模

Today, the average wedding has 131 guests, and the price per head is $192. So many couples have started to keep the nuptial costs down by limiting the guest list. In fact, since peaking at an average of 184 guests in 2006, the figure has been on a steady decline, dropping 29% over the last seven years. To accommodate those who were axed, or who simply can't make the trip, couples have started broadcasting their weddings like the royals themselves. Last year, nearly 20,000 weddings were broadcast over Ustream.tv, the largest live-video streaming platform. Ustream.tv is well-known for streaming everything from zoo-animal births to space walks, but in the past year alone it's seen a 250% rise in wedding streams, says spokeswoman Joellen Ferrer. 'It's been an interesting phenomenon,' Ferrer says. 'More people are looking at this technology to bridge the gap and allow family to attend an event when they physically can't be there.'

如今一场婚礼邀请的宾客数量平均为131名、新人们在每位宾客身上的花费是192美元。因此，许多夫妻开始通过限制宾客数量来降低婚礼开销。事实上，自从2006年每场婚礼平均的宾客数达到了184位的最高值之后，这个数字一直在稳步下降，在过去七年累计下跌了29%。为了照顾那些被从名单上砍掉的宾客、和那些无法到场的亲朋好友，新人们开始像皇家婚礼一样直播自己的婚礼过程。去年，有近20,000场婚礼登上了最大的视频直播流媒体平台Ustream.tv。Ustream.tv本来是以传播从动物园动物产子到太空漫步等各类视频而出名，但网站发言人乔伦·费勒说(Joellen Ferrer)说，光去年一年，其婚礼视频的数量就增长了250%。费勒说，这是一个有趣的现象，有越来越多的人用流媒体来拉近彼此的距离，让不能亲身到场的亲朋好友也能参与其中。
