I officiated at many weddings, and it is no my favorite event.

I've went to a few but as a rule I do not like them. I have stopped going to many events at all and I'm an extreme introvert. That is strange when you consider that I work with the public Monday thru Friday.

Free food and alcohol.

I feel obligated to attend, if it's nearby, but I find lengthy social engagement to be awfully tiresome — especially if I attend both the wedding and reception, which really makes it an all-day affair.

I’m not much into weddings. I’m not invited that often, but will go for the food! lol

I have always hated weddings. Especially my own. I was a wedding photographer for awhile for my friends only. Those weddings weren't too bad. I think most of them are a big waste of money. There are so many better things that could be done with the money.

To me, a wedding means that if I go, I'll be out money that I can't afford, into a building that whose general use I abhor for two people that I probably don't know that well and who statistics say have a 30% chance of divorcing in ten years.

It's funerals I avoid.

Would rather go to a funeral, at least the worst bit is already over.

For a piece of paper? true love does not need a piece of paper, I try to avoid places where people tend to drink to excess

We have two weddings to go to- family. I look upon it as an occasion to wear a dress, talk BS with people I do not care for this part of the family and feel virtuous for having made it through without destroying anyone. So, win-win all the way around

Like hiding, there a bit like funerals without the corps.

Nothing wrong with weddings. It's the reception that is my focus. Receptions and wakes. Neither one is complete without a brawl or two.

It depends, I have a niece getting married this summer and I'm very excited for her! I also have a cousin who is getting married before her, will be fun to see the extended family. I hope there are no fights!

If it is someone I do not know well, or do not particularly like, I beg off due to prior commitments. I have attended 6 weddings in my entire life, including 2 of my own.

I don't know - I don't go to many. The festivities of a bunch of unfamiliar people judging each other are a bit odd. And then there's my brother in law with "Save Me" written on the bottom of his shoes displayed as they knelt before the minister saying their vows. Why? Nobody laughed - they already had a baby.

It depends on who it is. If it's someone close, then of course I go. But for the most part I don't bother. I don't own a suit and some of these ceremonies are a little bit cheesy for me.

Weddings... just funerals with cake.
