DSLR vs. Mirrorless (yes I know this has been done to death)

Well, now that you've brought the plague into the conversation, I'd talk her out of any partying and stay home. Actually, I'd talk her out of partying and then take my camera out and do some landscape photos. I'm at least doing that tomorrow.

Flip a coin ... cuz if you’re gonna do something so utterly toadally stoooopid as actually complying with her request it really doesn’t matter if you bring a Brownie Starmite or an F7 Mark III.
That's what I thought...you haven't got a clue.

It's a bit like that old question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" You're damned no matter which answer you give. If you choose the DSLR (because it has the better IQ) you'll be branded as a heretic by the mirrorless zealots but if you pick the mirrorless you'd rightfully be questioned about why you'd choose the camera with the worse IQ. So the presence or absence of a mirror has no bearing on the decision. In this case it would be decided on the sensor (46mp vs. 26mp) or perhaps FF vs. crop sensor.

Exactly!
You have provided no clue as to why you chose those two cameras. Therefore I cannot stand in your shoes. You have no clue, so acoarst you give us no clue. Then you ask us help you decide. If that ain’t fun, then tell us what is !
If somehow it were MY assignment and I were offered only those two cameras for my use, I know for sure which one I’d use. But that has nothing to do with how you would choose between them.
You own both, suggesting that you like both of them. OTOH, I despise one of them so my choice is of no value to you.
Your choice to own a camera I despise is likewise no problem to me. I like your other camera ... there’s still hope for you.
Flip a coin and get to work. You already established that results are equal. You further establish that for you there’s no difference in ease of use etc etc by your posing of the question (or nonquestion, flip another coin).

I like the top photo's colors better, which has everything to do with the sensor and nothing to do with the mirror / EVF.

I would hazard a guess it has not so much to do with the sensor and more to do with how the camera's white balance works. The Nikon photo is just a little warmer - an easy fix if cool is your preference.

That sounds pretty scientific :-)
Can I suggest for your 15th birthday you buy yourself a dictionary? And maybe a course in English comprehension?

Actually, the answer to your question is, take whichever camera you are most comfortable with and photograph the wedding. If you dare, but since, in your scenario you’ve exhausted all your finances, you’d have no choice but to do it yourself. (Yeah, bad grammar, but what the heck, I’m over 70, so who cares!” In the end, assuming you don’t actually tell anyone which camera you took, it doesn’t matter. You use the one you’re most comfortable with, and, without EXIF data, no one could be able to tell the difference, anyway. You’d be neither a hypocrit nor a traitor to either side.

I like both your analysis of the situation and your proposed solution! (and I don't see anything grammatically incorrect in the way you've expressed it, unlike some other morons (who shall remain nameless) who lurk on this forum, and seem to have a very poor understanding of the English language)

You are comparing the Nikon D850 and the Fuji X-T3 and not DSLR vs Mirrorless. Fast focus and high resolution characteristic of the D850 isn't only for DSLR. The nice color on the XT-3 isn't only for mirrorless.
Yes exactly. As someone else said you can't compare the two (DSLR and mirrorless) because they are just two different ways to achieve the same result.

Let me get this straight. You are trying to see how a $3000 46mp camera body compares to a $1500 24mp camera body looking at one image on a computer screen without specifying raw or jpg or what post processing was done?
Yes that's exactly what I'm doing. My purpose was to show that it has nothing to do with DSLR vs. mirrorless, there are too many other factors involved. So if you see anyone arguing that mirrorless cameras are superior then you know they're talking crap.

Why is the 'advantage of being able to see the image before you take the photo' questionable? How often do you display two pictures of the same thing side by side?
Is this one question or two separate questions?

If “the winner is clearly the Nikon” why would you continue to vacillate?
Because I like the colours of the Fujifilm JPEGS

Thank you, I do too. It was a theoretical question and fortunately I don't have to make that choice.
