I have a good group of friends and a reasonable sized family. I can’t wrap my head around these weddings with 100-300 guests. Am I a loser or are they inviting mostly tertiary characters.

I’m with OP.
When me and my wife got married, we invited 20-ish people. Small service, lunch for everyone, and every guest looked happy. It was a good day and looking back, I would not have done it differently.
One year earlier, we went to a wedding of a friend with ~200 people. Nice woman, but a total show-off. The wedding reception was horrible. They had a dress code, the service was spread among three locations, there were apparently massive costs, and many awkward, unhappy looking people. That marriage apparently did not last either.
My partner and I went to city hall, signed a few papers, and called it a day. It’s not for a lack of people in our lives either, we both have huuuuuuuuuuuge overlapping social circles.
I can see how it’s possible to have so many people and make a huge thing of it, I just don’t see why. The wedding industry is particularly scammy on top of it
