This is true, and I will own up to being hyper-critical (but really, I'm like that about all social events and social etiquette--even funerals!). I remember reading one post where a member basically said that a wedding has to have a band. That, to me, was beyond the pale and is beyond being nitpicky--that's just classist. I may make a big deal about brides inviting people to the shower and not to the wedding, or about registry cards in the invitations, or people registering for anvil loppers, but I try not to be classist about my proclivities. After all, not many people can afford $40K weddings...
The most elaborate wedding I attended commenced the shortest marriage; meanwhile, my parents went to the JP and just celebrated their 35th. Food for thought...
