Wedding on July 4th

Anonymous
A childhood friend is getting married on July fourth, late in the evening - there is no served dinner and guests are told to leave by 930. Would it be totally tacky to just attend the ceremony and then go out with our normal July 4th festivities? We were invited to other events that day and would love to attend.

What time is the ceremony? No food or drink is being served? How close do you feel to this friend?

9:30 and no dinner? That's rude.

Yes, it's ok to just attend the ceremony and go on to other commitments/festivities.

The wedding is at 730. We used to be super close but our friendship has phased out over time.

The tackiness problem is not with you.

A 7:30 wedding and you have to leave by 9:30? How long would the ceremony even be?

I think you can handle a 7:30-9:30 commitment no matter the day.

Are there fireworks? An evening wedding with no dinner, that's a pain.

Weddings on holidays are just stupid.

I'm interested in how one would word "leave by 9:30."

It's a small wedding in her backyard so she just verbally told everyone.
