In "my" sub-culture you don't get invited to just the "ceremony" you get invited to both the "ceremony" and the "reception". You will not get invited to one and not the other.
If you are not invited to the "ceremony" and "reception" and want to go the church (or wherever it is held as I have gone to a catering hall "ceremony" and not been invited to the "reception"), you are more than welcome.
I had people at my church "ceremony" who did not get invited to the "reception" (friends of friends and family in the wedding, friends of friends and family who knew us).

Your definition of "frou frou" wedding has to do with more than the dress and bordwithyou's ONLY has to do with the dress as she is saying if the dress is not "frou frou" than most likely the reception is not.

Right. As I said earlier, there is "always" the option of leaving the party.

The PP was asserting, if I understand correctly, that there is "always" somewhere to escape that doesn't involve leaving the party. Simply not true.

So now "fru fru" is necessarily a negative too, just as "whatever" is?

Lord amighty.

I define it as the "ceremony" (either in a church, catering hall, home, wherever) and the "reception" (either in a church, catering hall, home, wherever).

I am confused. You said in your first paragraph that in your subculture, everyone who is invited to the ceremony is also invited to the reception, and vice versa. There is no one who is invited to one who is not invited to the other, but if you do not have an invitation at all, you are welcome to just show up at the ceremony? Is that right?

So, like I asked, if I were travelling on Long Island, and just popped into some random wedding to witness the ceremony, that would be OK?

You know that boats come in different sizes, right? Not all of them are cruise ships.
