Like 2 years later and the wedding I posted about in this thread is STILL the worst I've ever been to.

Same here.

The couple in question has had two children. The first was a girl, and DH and I found out about her only through the grapevine. The second, though, was a BOY. They emailed everyone they knew - "Come to the bris! Come to the bris!" It was dead obvious that they felt the birth of a BOY was something worth celebrating, while the birth of a girl was almost something to be mourned.

I had half a mind to respond to their email asking if they were planning on ordering enough food.

Needless to say, we did not go.

Can I assume that these are not people who would have a bat mitzvah for their daughter when that particular age comes around?

The worst wedding I've ever attended was a close family member's.

I found out about it the night before.

I arrived at the location-the pastor's office in an office plaza.

There were pictures of the past with MC Hammer among others all over his office. The pastor was wearing nicer clothes than the groom and the groom's brother (the best man). However, while he was dressed nicer, it still wasn't appropriate. He could have at least toned it down by taking of the diamond pinky rings! His wife was there running the show, but I don't remember was she had on so it had to have been normal.

The best man is also a close family member of mine, so it'll suffice to say he's very tall and his pants weren't quite long enough.

The bridesmaid (who I'm not related to) was wearing a lavender gown that was apparently from another wedding she'd been in some time back so it didn't quite fit. She had on clear lucite stripper platform shoes (I guess nothing else matched that lavender)! The bride (who I'm not related to) was wearing a backless ( ) white dress that was long in the back and short in the front. (Think Marilyn Monroe over the subway grate). It would've been great if we were on the beach or for a romantic date, but whatever.

My boyfriend at the time was the best dressed man there. A suit and tie, while no one else bothered. I think the groom was dressed similarly though, so he was at least okay.

The reception was in another family member's backyard which actually wasn't bad cos we have parties there all the time. The next-door-neighbor let them use his Bentley for the affair and gave them an expensive bottle of champagne.

They are no longer married, but considering that the bride was younger than me, that's not a bad thing. My family member has moved on to bigger and better things, although I don't think he'll ever get over losing custody of the dog.

I'd be surprised if they did.

Poor girl.

(I know not all Jewish traditions celebrate bat mitzvahs, I just hate to see a kid treated that way.)
