[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A wedding is and should be whatever the two people getting married want it to be. That said, they must be gracious if people decline to attend for any reason, including child care.

But no, "two families" are not getting married; two individuals are. So it's whatever they want. If you don't like it, decline. No one owes you a family reunion. If you want a family reunion, plan, pay for and host one. The end.[/quote]

Your opinion is quite a shift and a result of an increasingly secular, selfish society.  Yes, two families are being joined.  The whole purpose was to have family, friends and congregants witness and support the union, not to throw a formal party.[/quote]

No, it’s not. The whole purpose is to unite two people. Here is the #1 definition of “wedding” in Merriam-Webster for you:

: a marriage ceremony usually with its accompanying festivities : NUPTIALS

You are confusing “wedding” with “reception,” dear.[/quote]

If it’s only about you, why do you think people pay $1000s and spend their vacation days to attend? Do you expect them to also do that for your birthday? Don’t be absurd. [/quote]
