Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker describes a wedding with fewer than three deaths as dull, making an alarming outcome sound like a minimum requirement for entertainment. The shock comes from the standard being used: what might ruin a celebration elsewhere supposedly gives this one its interest.
