I'm sorry for your loss.

I completely agree with you.

View Quoted Comment Thank you.

My daughter had a full catholic mass. Some people aren’t up for that and came only to the reception. It didn’t bother us at all and we were happy they were there for the celebration afterwards.

View Quoted Comment I would find it odd. Especially given that my ceremony and reception were in the same place. We did have about 15 (13 of them came together on a bus) out of 69 people miss our ceremony because they didn't time their drive appropriately. Our ceremony was only 15 to 20 minutes long and they got there immediately after. I can't say that I would care that much if people weren't there.

View Quoted Comment You're welcome ♥️

View Quoted Comment I can definitely understand that. The last wedding I attended had a Catholic ceremony and although I didn't mind it I felt completely out of place.

View Quoted Comment Got it, thanks for sharing.

I would find it really, really odd.

As others have said, our ceremony and reception were in the same place, so you'd come in obviously late. For me, the whole point of the wedding is to have your friends and family witness your union. It's the public declaration of the private commitment, the support from those who come, that is the emotional center of the day.

The reception is just the party you throw to thank those people and have a lot of fun.

👏👏👏 I feel the exact same way.

I would feel some kind of way if I end up finding out someone intentionally didn't go to the ceremony and just waited until the reception. Now THAT is rude. If something happened on your way over and you missed the ceremony then that's understandable.

View Quoted Comment I'm looking forward to getting married. And being married. But neither myself nor my fiance are looking forward to the ceremony. Too much like a church service, too on display for us. We're looking forward to the reception. A celebration with our friends and family.
We look at the ceremony as a necessary part, but not the part we are looking forward to.
Bring on the reception, honeymoon, joint health insurance, and spending forever together.

It happens a lot in my culture! for my wedding i had about one hundred guests less at the ceremony than reception. some people told me they couldn't make my ceremony due to commute and some didn't go just because they don't. i didn't really take it personally.

Yeah, I agree with you.

View Quoted Comment

I can understand that.

If it's a cultural thing then I could totally understand.

Honestly I probably wouldn't even notice. I'll be focused on making it down the isle without tripping and then focused on the vows and getting married After we walk down the isle, we're getting our pictures done during cocktail hour and then it's reception time. If they would say anything, I'd tell them I was happy they could make it either way

Honestly, I never considered that but you're absolutely right. When I got married I didn't even realize who was at the ceremony until I saw the video.

It does happen. I had a friend who had a 5pm Friday night ceremony and I could not get off of work early. I did make it out to the reception though. Sometimes it just happens like that. Now, if there's nothing keeping a guest from attending other than them just not wanting to...then that's rude. So so rude.
