>> To each his own. I have always wanted to see the bride and groom get married and have gone many times with family, friends and co-workers. <<
And that may well work for you, and in your region. You do get, don't you, that it does not work in every region/subculture?

Um....?
The most painful wedding day I've ever witnessed was not as a guest. I was working at the reception. I should have known things were going to be weird when I arrived to work and one of the relatives took me aside and told me which family members I especially needed to keep an eye on. I was then informed that the wedding had started nearly an hour late because the bride was having an issue with getting her hair and makeup done. I was also told that the bar was limited to soft drinks, beer and wine because there were some uncles who tended to get out of control with the hard stuff. I wasn't working at the bar, so I didn't really think much of it. The second clue should have been when I went to take the trays of food out of the fridge, the cold cut trays appeared to be about 3 days old, judging from the state of the lettuce garnish. The guests started filtering in, and two uncle-ish looking guys headed straight for the bar. They then immediately left. They came back 20 minutes later with bottles in paper bags. Not long after, some other uncle-ish looking guys came in with BIG bottles of booze, which they plopped down on the bar proclaiming that this was their wedding present to the happy couple. When the wedding party was announced, I saw what the hair/makeup issue had been. The bride had elected not to have her hair or makeup done at ALL. She had the dress, veil, shoes, etc. etc. etc.... all very nice... with her hair (dirty) pulled back in a messy pony tail and nothing on her face whatsoever. It was such a startling contrast. One of the things I was in charge of was serving the cake and coffee. I looked all over this big industrial kitchen for a large-quantity coffee maker or percolator or something. No. I ended up trying to make coffee for 100 with a 12 cup coffee maker. That was fun. There were a lot of hot pots, thank goodness, so I could make it in advance and store it.
Afterwards, I gave the bartender a ride to the train station. All we could say to each other was, "Wow."

Hey! Stop dissin' my wedding!
Oh, no. My mistake. That wasn't my wedding ... just some other wedding my drunkles attended.
"drunkles. Drunk. Uncles)."
I may just have to teach that to my kids when they are older. I don't think they recall ever seeing DH's older brother sober.
Was this on an episode of Redneck Wedding??
