What it sounds like
Older brides are easier to impress with a wedding.
What it really means
“Your wedding was unimpressive, and you are old enough to be easily pleased.”
Said today
“Maybe your wedding seemed impressive because you’re older and easier to wow.”
What was happening
Prudence boasts that her wedding was more beautiful than Philippa’s. Philippa answers with a polite-sounding generalization that turns Prudence’s age into the punchline and dismisses her wedding as easy to top.
PhilipaYes. They do say it is easier to impress older brides.
