Yes or no, why or why not?
Also, how many have you attended? Mostly family or friends? Travel or not? |

I love attending weddings. I don't want to go to random weddings, but my close friends and relatives are very enjoyable.
Probably attended 1-3 a year since I was 25. |

You sound like fun. |

| At 40, not really. I can’t explain why, exactly. I would just rather spend my time in other ways. And before you attack me, I eloped! I do enjoy more casual weddings/receptions, but some feel so stuffy and like a waste of precious weekend time. |

| I enjoy attending well-hosted weddings and am happy to travel if it's not too inconvenient or expensive. Probably 1-2 a year at this point (age 40). |

| It's been awhile but yes i've always really enjoyed them, extra bonus if someone i'm close to but fine if some random cousin of DH, they almost always are parties with a fun vibe |

This is what I was going to say. A well-hosted wedding is fun AF! A potluck, cash bar, catholic gap etc weddings are less so. |

| No. Even when they are nice, I just don’t enjoy them. |

Also 40 and this! The last wedding I went to was a cheaply catered event with overly salty food, cash bar, and cover music (like Kids Bop but for adults—it was bizarre.) It couldn’t end soon enough and I was so happy when we could use the excuse that we had to relieve our sitter! But I’ve also recently dropped cash on a fabulous destination wedding and had a blast. Before that I attended a wedding that took place in a serene location and the reception was held in an opulent location, wonderfully catered with excellent themed drinks. I was sad when both of those ended! |

Not really. Weddings are overrated. Should be simple affairs with your closest family and friends and nothing more. I also don't really need to witness it. The dinner afterwards is all that is necessary.

| I like them if they are basically fun parties and it’s not a pain in the a** to get to. |

Weddings for friends and relatively close family? Yes, absolutely fun, especially if I can get away with having no role.
As the +1 for another family where the only person I know is my partner, absolutely not, but I'll still do it to support (and drink a lot). |

| Sometimes. It all depends on who else is there and how well it's planned. The last one we went to was in a small location on two different floors. Food etc on one floor, dancing on the other. A lot of people left early. |

| Most of the time, yes. It's dinner, drinks, and dancing with my spouse and we're all dressed up! But I enjoy friend weddings more than family - less to navigate. |
