[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"My family would probably eat a large mid-afternoon meal in this scenario and then go to the wedding. And then drive-through Subway on the way home. We wouldn't even really snark or comment on it at all. It's just what happens sometimes. People's lives there are about accommodating and seeing their friends, so people don't get so up-in-arms about "inconveniences." " That's why wedding guests spend $25 or $50 on gifts there - they still have to feed themselves afterwards! If I attended a 6:30 wedding that had no meal, I'd last until maybe 8 until I would need to leave to eat dinner somewhere. [/quote] Okay, and ... what? This makes it less of a wedding? Less worth celebrating? Less worth gifting? Yes, the gifts are smaller there, but it's, again, because people are generally strapped for cash and less materialistic, not because anyone is begrudging the lack of a meal.[/quote]
