[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the loveliest weddings I’ve been to have been pretty simple. Usually a countryside or rural setting. Open bar but limited to a few specific drinks. Good food but lower cost such as Indian/pakistani/mexican/bbq - sometimes served buffet style where tables go up turn by turn and servers dish out the food. Fun DJ. Cupcakes for dessert. Everyone has a blast.[/quote]

This was our wedding. I think people had fun. We have great photos.[/quote]

They did not have fun. It is a complete pain in the butt to go to a wedding for me. I have one to go to in New Jersey and one in Long Island later this year. I am driving 5-6 hours to the wedding, booking a hotel, kids and wife getting new clothes, make up, nails done dress putting my dog in boarding. So the wedding is costing me a fortune to go to. Then you serve me a taco and a cupcake.

Cheap weddings are only cheap for Bride and Groom. Out of town guests it is a money pit so at least be nice. BTW none of my aunts or uncles or any of the older people can eat Indian, Pakistani, Mexican food and BBQ is a mess to eat in a suit. I went to one wedding like that, and there was a Wendy's late night drive through a block from catering hall and I went to it afterwards to eat and saw other people. All three of my kids were starving and so was wife. She has a stomach she cant eat anything spicy. And the buffet how do old people who cant walk well get the food? you expect their also old spouse to be a server?
