Maybe it just makes the fake guests in your area a little more pushier/nosier.

It does not make the church more welcoming or friendlier--the people running the church do not have a guest list and bouncers to throw out the people who are not invited--unless you are celebrities of course!

Then this earlier statement of yours makes no sense .. <<she had people come to her church ceremony that did not come to the wedding.>>


How can they not go to the wedding if the ceremony is part of the wedding?

Can I ask how you knew the wedding was happening?

I could completely see if there was a wedding happening at one's own church, there might be talk about it or an announcement in the bulletin. But when it's at a more private venue, I'd think it would require some effort to find out where and when.

It is also a matter of perception. I see from the thread that some consider the "chicken dance" a normal interlude at a wedding. When I talk of loud music, I am talking about pop music played to make people dance. If you do not dance, it is a very annoying.

Wow..I have been to many, many weddings that were adults only. Usually formal evening weddings. Some with babysitting in the church nursery for those people who couldn't, or wouldn't find sitters.

And a perusal of just about any wedding etiquette site will find many, many queries about what to do about people who insist on bringing children who are not invited. I can see that the "open wedding" thing might be a great benefit to people who don't believe in adults only wedding ceremonies.

My experience is the exact opposite...I have been to several wedding ceremonies that exclude children but where the children are welcome to attend the reception only.

But aside from all that....you and Forlinis might want to get your stories straight about whether you live on Long Island or not. Just sayin."

Nah, maybe we just have more friends who want to see us get married :)

The churches I have ever gone to are thrilled that more people are coming to wish the new couple well on their marriage :)

So in your subculture, people show up to weddings they aren't invited to?

If these people are your friends, why would you not want them at your reception, too?

"Ceremony"
"Reception"
2 different things

In "my" sub-culture you only get ONE invitation and it is to both the ceremony and reception BUT ANYONE can come to the ceremony who is not invited to the "reception".

IME these are friends, co-workers, friends of family. Anyone that I would want to see get married even though I was not invited to the reception.
