Off the top of my head, I can give two good reasons for going to a wedding:
1) Someone you know is getting married. 2) It's a paid gig. Most of the weddings I've been to have been in the second category, but the first category is even better even though you don't get any money for being there.

This one falls into the former category. Most of the weddings that I attend don't (like the one I'm going to on Saturday, for instance).

I just can't see the appeal of having to go and sit and listen to two people publically fawn over each other, and then be expected to give them a gift.
I've never been to a wedding, and I never plan to. Although I might turn up to the reception, if there's an open bar.

There's a recent trend, in this part of the world, for people to write their own vows. Instead of just repeating the words the registrar, or holy person of their choice, instructs them to say (which is bad enough in itself), now people like to reel off a stream of soppy crap, intermingled with the monotonies of their life story.

I've never been to one of those, thankfully. But then they tend not to ask for choirs

A good dirge far surpasses the wedding marches offered by Wagner and Mendelssohn.

At weddings that I utterly detest, I imagine putting delicate vials of battery acid and salt water in the cake, and watching the result when it's cut.
Or not.

I've been to a wedding once. There were sweets, and cake, and lots of yumms stuff. Which is awesome, when you're a kid. And it was probably the only event of my family that we actually came on time to get into the church. Every other event held in a church we came too late to get into the church. Though the fact that most of the other events were held in a teeensy church (with a priest of Indian descent, too, which I think is awesome), where only a smaller crowd fits in, factors in that too, I guess. Also, I remember that one of the kids showed me the mobile home they came with (they came from a big distance away), and we discovered that a tiny fridge magnet was still securely stuck to the side of it, which had been put there when they left. That was so awesome! -
