Likewise, I had my rehearsal dinner at my church. I am surprised that random people from my congregation didn't just show up! They should have felt entitled and all, right?

Maybe this is where our interpretations differ. To me, a wedding isn't a "church ceremony". It isn't an event of the church or of the congregation.

No, I don't think it's just a "Boston" thing....because both Egd and the other poster have said it happens where they live. I am thinking it is a Catholic thing, and maybe an ethnic Catholic thing. I don't think it happens among the Bavarian-descended Catholics of my state. I have never heard of it.

i think it's easier to excuse things as "culture"/"regional" things than have to admit that wow,i might have learned something new today.

I wouldn't think too much of my church if they did not open their doors to anyone.

I think most of us have learned something new. You for instance, have learned that not all wedding ceremonies are open to everyone. But I don't see you saying "How neat!" Why is that, if that is how people are supposed to respond when learning something new?

Sorry to hear that. The weddings I have attended the people would have wanted to invite more people to the reception but there is usually limited budgets when planning a wedding.

As per my links, you would see there were other "sub-cultures" but my own mentioned. Don't think egd lives in my "sub-culture" either, correct?

i suppose a private ceremony can be any number of things.


have you ever walked into a hyatt or mariott lobby in the middle of a saturday to see sign that reads,"private such and such wedding" upstairs?
