3 top things you remember about a wedding

1 - FOOD!

2 - Open bar and how long the line is

3 - Whether there was love in the room (*tear*)

The DJ

The Food

The Ceremony

The bar.

Her dress.

The musAK.

The ceremony (because I cry)

Not what, but WHEN food is served

Good music

Did I get stuck next to someone Totally Boring for the reception?

Did the ceremony take 5 hours in a language other than english?

Did people dance at the reception?

1. Other guests - we always have more fun when we know at least one other couple there

2. Food/Alocohol

3. Music/Dancing

Lately, several of the weddings we've been too have had photo booths and those have definitely contributed positively to my overall experience.

1. The dj/their talent

2. If I decided to starve because of food selection

3. If any juicy dama happened

How the bride looked

the ceremony/vows

how much time we spent waiting between the ceremony and the start of dinner

1)did people dance/was the music good

2)did they run out of champagne because I drank it all

3)see number 2

1. If the booze was free-flowin'

2. If I danced my butt off

3. How the bride looked (hair and makeup and if she was having a great time)

Honestly, I barely pay ANY attention to the bride's dress. I notice it when she walks down the aisle and from then on I couldn't care less what she's wearing, just that she's enjoying herself

Food, booze, and decor

For me...

1. Her dress

2. Food

3. Decor

How drunk was I?

how long did I dance for?

did I like the place?

The food, the venue and the feeling (i went to one wedding where there was no feeling of love in the air and it was horrible, even though it was the most classy, elegant wedding i'd ever been to)

1)Alcohol

2)Dancing

3)Cake

Ahhh I like that a lot of you feel like the ambiance is important!! That's what I was thinking.

I didn't even offer my thoughts:

1. How happy (or not) the bride & groom seemed

2. The music

3. Who I sat with/who was there

1. Bride/dress

2. Food

3. Basic events (cool ceremony, horrifying ceremony, great dancing)

My basic thing at weddings is to review what everyone is wearing. I always have a best dressed and a tsk-tsk in my head.

Plus I've been known to get drunk and flirt with wait staff. But that's only if the wedding is really boring.

Plus, I'm from New Jersey, so there's a spot in my head waiting to see if Sweet Caroline is played. So Good! So Good!

I remember if the crowd was engaged (no pun intended) with each other and the couple or texting and on their phones.

Whether the DJ or MC was a loud mouth asshole and/or pronounced their names right.

Whether it was too cold, too hot or too windy to be outside.

But then, I'm usually only there through the first dance.....;-)

The things I remember most:

1. Open bar

2. DJ and dancing

3. How good the food was

1. Food

2. Music/DJ/Dancing

3. Overall atmosphere.

4. Decor. A good friend of mine got married a month after us and they didn't really decorate their reception venue, no centrepieces. It was just a basic ballroom.
