Thanks but I think you are confusing the "wedding" to the actual reception where they are paying for people and only have limited seating.


Are your churches that SMALL that they can not hold more people and do all the people invited to the reception ALWAYS come to the

Yes, I agree and we just have to point to Fred Phelps to prove the point.

The most expensive wedding I have ever gone to (frou frou as some might call it because she had more than 4 attendants, had more than 3 or 4 courses, receiving line...yadda yadda)-country

No, I am not confusing the reception with the ceremony. Read the links. I excluded ones that were about the reception only.

I already told you today that in our area, it is common for the bride and groom to have a small wedding and a large reception; so some people will be invited to the wedding only. It is less common to have weddings where people would be invited to the ceremony only because that would be kind of rude -- people who are invited to the ceremony are supposed to, by the usual rules of etiquette, to bring a gift, and it would be rude to expect someone to give you a gift and not invite them to share the reception with you.

There are churches of many sizes. The chapel on our campus, where a lot of students like to get married, is small and only holds 122 people. If all the bride and grooms friends and family members decided to show up as uninvited guests, there could be a problem.

Why? The marriage isn't only what happens in the church.

Sigh.


You implied that by not inviting everyone to the church ceremony, and some only to the reception, that the wedding must be more important than the marriage.
