In general what are your thoughts on going to a wedding (not your own)? Love, neutral, hate?

Personally, I hate everything about them. I mean absolutely every aspect is in opposite to things I like.
 
I love weddings. Especially having been through one.. You appreciate the planning and organizing that goes into it, and you notice the little things.

What's not to love? It's usually good friends or family getting married, you usually know some (or a lot) of other people there, and you eat, drink and maybe even dance...

Open bars are a bonus of course 😛
Hotties at the wedding... Mmmm 🙂 another hidden bonus 🙂

Yep... I'm divorced, but I love a nice wedding 🙂
 
Overall, no.
I appreciate the fact two people are bonding for life and wanna share it with everyone. I think thats really nice. BUT, realistically they have a 50% chance of divorce, and statiscially even if they stay married there is a good chance they will be miserable forever. So that takes a lot of the drama out of it.
Also, the ceremony in general is just annoying. Although I must admit my uncle's marriage was pretty much perfect (probably cuz the bride was a wedding photographer and she knew exactly how to plan) and overall it was a pleasant experience. But I still dont care for any long ceremony with lots of required activities afterwards.
A friend is getting married this summer and wants me to attend. Guess I'll need to pull out my suit and have it cleaned.
 
Usually they're pretty fun. A good chance to catch up with old friends are share some laughs over a few too many beers. I'm going to be a best man at a wedding early next year, can't wait!
 
i hate weddings because old people always poke you and say 'you're next.' haha assholes. that's why i started doing the same shit to them at funerals
 
Heres my take on it - btw hi skoorb!

I have gone to FAR TOO MANY WEDDINGS in the past two years and at many - if not all of them there was a cash bar, no booze and the food was only ok. The most recent wedding I went to, the food was cold because the bridal party has no sense of time. The one before that was one of my best friends from high school and the entire thing was dry/cash bar because the brides parents are stuck in the 1920's. Note: After that wedding we went and got more food because there were only snacks at the "dinner"

Ok I'm rambling - if there is a distinct lack of liqour and good food at these things. I'm taking a pass.

You need better friends to invite you to their weddings.

I like weddings, now that I'm out of college it's always nice to have an excuse to fly back to Houston or wherever and see all my friends.
 
I was hoping for a "Fuck No" option in the poll. The closest I could find was "In general I hate them". So that's my vote.

The majority of marriages end in divorce according to what I've read. How could I enjoy watching the bride's parents forking out what could be tens of thousands of dollars for a "starter marriage"?
 
In general I dislike them. There's usually at least a few cute girls there though. Same goes for funerals.

Edit: Yes I go to funerals with the hope of spying some hot chicks somewhere in the back of my mind.

Wife and I really like going to weddings. Bonus for an open bar.

But as somebody above said, it's great to see family and have a good time.

But man, there are some pretty crappy weddings out there.

The "50% divorce" thing is overblown.
 
We my better half and self. Love anything that celebrates life . I just don't like going inside churches.

When your my age you will understand . Funerals are what you go to as you age . Really don't care from them at all . But out of Love and respect one must do what one must do .
 
I absolutely loath them, especially family weddings.

I don't drink (I mean, a glass of wine here or there, but I'm not really A Drinker, so an open bar doesn't mean much to me) and I don't dance... it's one thing if it's a friends' wedding and I'm hanging out with my gang of friends trash talking on how crappy the wedding is, but for family weddings (eg: cousins, friends of the family, etc), I show up, give my gift, say hello to the bride/groom, and bolt out the back door as soon as possible.

I think the worst was my neighbor's wedding... he and I are friends and I'm cool with most of his friends as well, but everyone I knew at the wedding was in the wedding party so I was stuck in a room where I knew no one sitting around a table with a bunch of geriatrics. making it even worse was the fact that I agreed to give 3 members of the wedding party a ride home afterward, so I was basically forced to stay for the entire duration of the reception.
 
Ceremony itself can be boring (it's like being in church), but the reception is always worth sticking around for. Can't beat delicious food and lots of booze.
 
Depends on the wedding and who's there. My friends weddings were fun for the most part, relatives weddings on my side of the family were pretty good too. On the other hand my ex's friends and families weddings were the suck, absolutely the worse. The only weddings I've been too here in MA were mine and one friend and they rocked.
 
Don't think I have ever been to a wedding and no been bored.
Besides the fact the divorce rate is so high its basically pointless.
