All I know is that I got married, to be married. I did not get married for the ceremony or the reception or the honeymoon. My marriage has lasted almost 16 years, my relationship over 20. I did my wedding the way WE wanted it to be. I have been to all different types of weddings and the bride and groom did it the way THEY wanted it to be and I thought they were all great and had a good time at all of them. I have wished well friends, co-workers and family at ceremonies that I was not invited to receptions because I truly care about them and wanted to see them become husband and wife. I have still been in their lives AFTER the weddings also.

I know some people can't attend the church ceremony (I wasn't able to do so for my dh's cousin as we had engagement pictures at the same time) but that is the "most important" part in the entire wedding, IMO. THAT is when you get married and WHY you were invited.

I had most of the people invited come to my wedding too. Others were mostly out of state and couldn't make it that weekend.


I am sure weddings are not enjoyable for everyone but "most" adults are mature enough to know that they are invited because they are close enough to the bride and/or groom that they want them to share their special day with them. They will "endure" the day because they are not selfish and do things for others (somewhat like volunteering, correct?-doing things for others and taking the time out of your day to do so ;) )

IME, anyone is invited to attend the "ceremony". Everyone is not invited to the "reception".

Thanks. Ufortunately some people DO put the "frou frou" part of the wedding before the actual marriage, and those marriages usually do not last as there is too much selfishness to begin with. There is NO give and take with those relationships.


IME, I have known people who have been married less than a year--over 60 yrs. BUT...SOME of the marriages that have ended in divorce were pretty evident BEFORE the actual "ceremony" and "reception".

Even egd3blessed explained (needlessly so IMO) that her post quoted above was made in humor.
