I didn't even want to go to my own wedding and that was in Disney World.

They're a great way to remind myself that I'll be alone forever

I hate parties usually but weddings can be fun. I'd say "mostly yes"

Weddings are a lot of work for the bride and groom. Can be exhausting even if they have help.

After our wedding, my wife and I went to our hotel room and passed out, and neither of us were drunk we were just fucking beat lol

---

I dont like the wedding itself. But the receptions are great But in small doses Cant go for too long
---

Absolutely fucking no. Ive been to one (and thats enough thank you very much) and it was the most melodramatic, pretentious, exaggerated, cringy and badly acted drama live-show Ive experienced.

---

I've only been to three weddings.

My sister's was awkward af because my side of the family has a lot of prudes but her husband basically came out of a trailer park, so his family and friends were absolute wild fucking animals at the wedding.

In the second wedding, I was the best man. A lot of the work behind setting up the wedding was put on me and the groomsmen/bridesmaids. It was alright but the before/after work was exhausting.

The third wedding was for a female friend of mine, and I was just a guest. That was the best one I've been to.

I've only been yo two, and they were all right; not really good or bad.

I can relate to this. Your involvement in the planning and execution of the wedding can determine the fun factor of the wedding. Outside of simply having a bad experience, being a part of the wedding can be stressful and exhausting. Whereas being a guest where you're only asked to show up and have a good time is about as good as it gets.

Same here, we fell asleep in the limo on the way back to the hotel.

Haven't been to enough to have much of an opinion one way or the other

---

I hate formal settings and big crowds of people, so generally no.

The last wedding I went to was pretty cool, though. The amount and type of food available was insane. I think they spent at least $70K on the wedding, which is insane but whatever.

My wife and I eloped on the beach and basically had the ceremony at our honeymoon location, the photographer alone was like 60% of the wedding cost, lol

They can be good for getting to see people you haven't seen in a while, but other than that I think they're dumb. The "traditions" are more like cliches to me. Even the more informal stuff is so cliche, like they always gotta play Don't Stop Believin' and a bunch of other crap, every time. Or at least that's how weddings for white people go

Having worked at a banquet hall for 3 years, nope

Everyone plays don't stop believing unless they are only playing cultural music, which is generally just Indians from my experience

---

Yes. I always enjoy seeing friends and relatives and celebrating the special occasion with them.

---

Yes for the most part. Although my brother is getting married in two weeks and it will be the first wedding we're taking our kids to (ages 6, 3, 1), so my opinion might change. Lol

I was too young for the 2 when I was young, and my friend's parents getting actually married had too many old people.

The thing is, aren't weddings supposed to be really easy to find someone?
---

I enjoyed weddings as a kid, but I did not enjoy attending other weddings as an adult (except for my own wedding, which was a blast)

I have a relative set to get married soon, I don't really want to go as they're really young so I don't think it'll last.

The receptions are too much sitting around (maybe drinking if you're allowed to do so) or choosing to dance to the notoriously stupid dance music that is found at almost every damned party like a shared playlist. The wedding ceremony itself? You have a choice between a church doing nothing original (and having to wait what feels like an age and a half for the thing to get started), a beach where you can't even hear what the marriage officiant is saying over the waves, or a quiet park that more or less repeats the church but in a different setting.

I'm so done with that kind of wedding.

Been to four weddings and enjoyed each one. Its a big party with food and dancing and cake and friends, and someone you know is having a celebration of love. Whats not to like

---

Never been.

I got married in EPCOT and my wife came down the 'aisle' to the Final Fantasy VII prelude. All of the music during the ceremony was from game soundtracks, as was the majority of the music at our reception.

Despite being shy and introverted, I LOVE going to weddings. I dont even care if I barely know the couple. Everyone is always just so happy and fun-loving. Even if you arent in a great mood you can usually find one or two like-minded people to have some good conversations with.

---

lol no

---

when its a closw friend its awesome. when its like a friend of your spouse and you dont know anyone its like baaaaah

I've been to my last wedding. Everyone else in my immediate family doesn't plan on getting married and I wouldn't show up to anyone else's wedding if I got invited. Same with funerals, no one in my immediate family wants a funeral, we're not religious and have always regarded funerals as a waste of time.

---

No. Other people having what I want makes me a sad Raccoon.

---

yeah because i only go to weddings for really close friends. ive been to 3 and they all rocked

I agree. If said reception has a open bar. I dont get tanked but I get a decent buzz going. I hate when they try to get all the single men to play some stupid game. I always insist on in a long distance relationship even if im not. Im not close enough to my family for them to pry much further than that

---

oh wait ive been to 4 and acutally one of them kinda sucked but the guy was super rich so there was a nice view and an awesome pool and stuff at least

Same. I mean the ceremony is usually painfully boring, but the receptions are awesome. Open bar, typically very good food, partying with either family or close friends. I always look forward to them.

Sadly funerals are far more common in my family to the point they almost become party like cause our family rarely comes around each other.

When my great grandma died, there were so many people. I didnt even know everybody. And there were family members I hadnt seen in over a decade

It's like that for my family. We are spread out all of the country and the ones closer by my immediate family doesnt mind being around but they are close to other parts of the family my immediate family doesnt get along with. At funerals everyone puts that aside. But for weddings. Yeah causes some people to not get invited

When my great grandma died there were almost fist fights over her stuff.

That sounds similar to when my BFa grandma died. Idk if there were fist fights. But people were fighting over the stuff they thought had value. My BF just let them fight, and went to clean up and move the rest after they left.

that stuff pisses me off

used to see it sometimes in the hospital when someone was near death. Someones entire life experience is ending and all you can do is panic about whether or not you dont get things or money that you want

---

i really like going to weddings when they're just normal and fun unless they have CRINGE game at the reception

my wedding is going to be BASED. all you need is an open bar

---

Not particularly.

---

I generally don't like to go anywhere anymore unless I have to.

Sounds like a typical argument in my family.
