Because marriages and weddings are to show the community you're together. That's the whole point.
Some people are a bit more extrovert about it than others, as in all things.
I'm kinda the opposite, haha! It's twenty years old now but back then I got my hands on the Beautiful Voices albums and I discovered some fantastic female vocalists (and a few I already loved).
These days my most listened to band is without a doubt Band Maid, and my latest discovery is Castle Rat...
It's not the fact it's a woman singing, per se, it's more something to do with lyricism and the contrast with the metal sound.
Just like Serj Tankian's operatic singing vs the mad sound of SoaD, if you will.
"As discussed" means your people don't trust your lying ass. You bet I'm gonna send you an email with all the shit you want me to do, but can't be bothered to send me in a clear traceable email.

You're right, I'm sorry, I really should educate myself about the US beyond the 40+ years of propaganda I've had to endure and the absolutely constant, never ending stream of shit across all media I'm the grateful recipient of, thanks to the Internet™.

Meanwhile, my experience with China over the last ten years or so has left me regularly wondering, in the grand scheme of things, what the fucking difference is. You both are absolutely insane, from where I live.
But yes, I was totally cherry picking your message. I don't disagree with you, to be clear. I'm just amused about your choice of epithet.
I'm being slightly disingenuous by focusing on one expression in the entire message, granted.
But honestly, using "one party state" as an epiteth, like that's what you want to focus on that's badwrong about China? that's amusing to me, reading this from Europe. YMMV.
I see this is not your first rodeo!
