I KNOW! I was so freaking drunk. Like, "I can't feel my face. Am I DYING?!" drunk.

This was an Indian wedding wasn't it? I'm Indian and LOVE LOVE LOVE going to our weddings but the fucking powerpoints and bragging out being doctors is the worst! I refused to have a powerpoint of pictures at my wedding and my parents pouted about it for months.
I've been to 3 dry weddings (1 I was a bridesmaid for). Nobody ever dances and the receptions flop. It just doesn't work.
That wedding actually sounds kinda cool, but I'm not fancy either. Too bad you didn't get to see the fight. The worst weddings I went to were cliche as all fuck. One of them was white church, Corinthians, unity candle, then low-mid-range hotel banquet hall reception with the only booze being one bottle of champagne…
Aren't the SUPER religious weddings fun? Of the 3 weddings I've been too (including my own), the one that had me rolling my eyes the hardest was the pastor to Pentecostal friend, when he got to the part about "Woman was made of Man, and is here to serve Man" I was ready to go. Incidentally, there was no alcohol.
It was punch, the wedding cake, and some sick joke canapes (triscuits + cheese).
Ah I've been to one of those southern baptist weddings-only food was cookies, cake, and a veg plate. No music. (men and women dancing together in public-even the married ones was frowned upon) No booze. And then bride/groom was shocked that everyone left after the cake was cut.
My parents had a cake and (alcoholic) punch reception. But it was only family, and there were under 20 people there.
I was an event coordinator and was witness to a bunch of taffeta draped train wrecks.
I went to a family member's daughter's wedding out of obligation. Not one of us (besides the bride's mom) liked the person marrying her 18 year old daughter. The wedding was held at a local church and the lighting was awful. I'm a hobbyist and I brought my camera. I went over to check with the photog to ensure I…
My brother (god bless him) and his now-wife had to go to a dry Evangelical wedding. It was my SIL's best friend since high school (who she now hated). It was a dry wedding, in a church in August that did not have air conditioning. My SIL (bless her heart) was a reluctant bridesmaid, and had to wear a lined, silk…
Oh no! At first, I thought this story was going to go in a different direction. In Chinese weddings it's considered a tradition to a earlier era to prevent the groom from getting to the bride. The door games. It's all a party game though, usually the bridesmaids make him and all the groomsmen do silly dances or…
So many things to tell..I will try to sum it up but it is going to get long and weird.
I went to a wedding as the guest of my boyfriend, so I didn't know too many people. The groom was softly sobbing as he waited at the altar. As the bride started down the aisle, he started wailing. When she reached him, his knees buckled and he fell down, rocking back and forth on his knees, sobbing like a baby. The…
I went to a DRY wedding that NO JOKE was basically a sit down dinner with nothing but POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS on the couple and their family. In front of like 400 people. We didn't like the bride at all, and this made us like her even less. The presentations were interspersed with speeches (and there must have been…
Thankfully, my friends have had pretty good weddings (alcohol available, some kind of dancing/entertainment, very low drama).
I would just like to throw out some should-be-obvious wisdom out there that I learned this year:
My nephew married into a dry Texas Baptist clan. When my sister sat down with the bride's mother to talk about the day's events and was told: no food at the reception and no booze at the reception. My sister flat-out told this nice Texas woman that if her Irish and Italian relatives, who were one and all flying…
I went to a wedding of a former friend from college (her wedding is the reason we are former friends) along with our huge group of 20+ friends. I was going to attend with another friend from our group, so instead of us both sending back in the RSVPs, I sent back my RSVP with a plus one thinking it would be okay since…
I'd have to go with my father's second wedding. He was marrying this total psycho bitch who only showed her true whackadoo colors after Dad proposed. Complete 180. She made me create her wedding invitations - handmade paper with chopped up rose petals mixed in. I was like, 10 years old. When she failed to teach me…
