If the conditions for (sacrifice) are met in a cow (two years old and free from defects), then it suffices for both Udhiyah and the wedding feast, as mentioned by Al-Kharashi and others. As for the attendees donating money to the wedding host, this does not harm the Udhiyah unless the money is in exchange for the food; otherwise, the Udhiyah would become for money, and common custom is equivalent to a condition.
