A Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Illyrio turns a horrifying incident into a matter of etiquette. His casual measure of a successful celebration shows how little the guests’ lives count beside the political bargain being made.

Spoilers for Game of ThronesShow the scene
At Daenerys and Drogo’s wedding in Game of Thrones S1E1, “Winter Is Coming,” Illyrio comments on the deadly fighting among the guests. The joke is an outsider’s breezy explanation of the spectacle Viserys is watching. The television line uses “considered”; the corresponding passage in A Game of Thrones uses “deemed.”
