I posted earlier about going to a wedding in which we were expected to pay in cash for own dinners. I have now returned from that wedding.

It sucked.

The vibe was so bad. During the cocktail hour, while the bride and groom were taking pictures, people went from subtly bitchy ("Nice dress she had on. Bet it was expensive") to outright angry ("This is just wrong, right? Everyone agrees this is wrong?") in record time. By the time the couple showed up, everyone was pretty obviously in a pissy mood.

We ordered. One woman loudly asked her partner if he had brought enough money for her to get the scallops. At one point, the bride urged a guest to get more wine and she just flat out said, "I can't. I didn't bring enough cash."
