general Have you ever been to a wedding?

[Venomous 18,813]

I have been to one wedding in my life and it was my sister's. It was destination wedding, actually. Mexico is where it took place.

[Nsxile 25,669]

Only to one... It was OK.

[EpicEnergy 22,074]

I've only been to one wedding before as far as I can remember, and it was someone in my church who was getting married who I knew.

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

I've been to about five weddings in my lifetime though I'll be honest in saying I didn't want to stick around very long. I was in it to see those involved get married and then go back home either before or after the dinner.

[Thuja 3,658]

Nope, I've been invited to a few but thinking about that many people being together in one place makes me a tad uncomfortable.

[Splashee 28,537]

Yea, I have been to a few weddings. Some more expensive than others.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

I went to my half sister's wedding a while back. I remember being very bored, especially because I think I'd met her once before that and didn't really care at all.

[Denim&Venöm 16,508]

Once. And it was an open wedding being held at a convention. It was Full Metal Alchemist themed. 

[applesjck 5,601]

I've been to three weddings, and I was apart of all of them. 

Weddings are not my cup of tea, I find them pretty boring honestly.

[Clawdeen 12,109]

I’ve only been to a few of them. 

[PiratePony 8,473]

Several. New York weddings are great, and mine was the best.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

I've never been to one wedding (though I have been to a funeral). I don't want to have a real "wedding" for three reasons, and most of these apply also to going to other people's weddings:

 

A. Weddings seem to me, to be extremely boring...

B. Do I really feel the need to burden others or myself with the expense of going to a wedding I likely won't care much for? Seriously, weddings are NOT cheap by any means.

C. I find all the pomp and circumstance of weddings to be a bit of a chore to sit through, not just being bored, but being completely apathetic to the whole thing.

D. I don't doubt that there'll be a miscreant or two that ruins it for almost everyone.

 

Personally, I don't want to have a wedding myself. I'd be satisfied to be legally married with my boyfriend and have it over with. I mean yeah maybe throw a small, and quite nondescript party or something inviting a few family members that want to go and close friends (I'd think that would be much cheaper and saves you from the bane of what I'd think to be the unsatisfactory wedding experience), but really? I don't see the point of wasting all that money just for a ceremony I could care less about being around at all for.such a tedious, ceremony. It also wouldn't help being called "man and husband" or whatever. It's not that being called by my biological sex offends me in any way (it doesn't by the way, pretty much everyone refers to me as a "he" even if I'm technically non-binary), it's that I find it tacky and just off however it's sliced. But in general, I may see the magic in a traditional proposal, but not in a wedding (particularly a traditional one).

Been to a couple. One was in this really big and fancy church in Dallas. The other was my sister's, and it was in a tiny chapel somewhere out in east Texas. :p

[Rainbow Cloud 16,290]

Yes I went to my to my Uncle's wedding a few years ago though it was a fairly low key registry office wedding.

[Troblems 5,608]

I had one. I hated it. I’m not much for being the center of attention. I’m also of an age where all my friends are getting hitched, so I have to buy them all a fruit bowl in exchange for them feeding me for an afternoon. I usually also have to look nice. It’s not really my favorite way to spend an afternoon.

[TheRockARooster 47,290]

I have gone to multiple weddings and was even a groomsmen at one, that all happened last year.

[RaraLover 10,410]

I only remember going to one wedding, but I can't remember whose wedding it was or how many years ago it was.

[Stardust 640]

Yeah a few unexciting tbh at a museum or a hotel and that kinda thing. The food bit I like ...

Not for about a decade. Most of my relatives seem to fly abroad and get married in small ceremonies these days. I don't see my extended family (cousins etc) much these days anyway.

[OscarZullo 3]

I was at my cousin's wedding. But I was terribly bored because there were none of my peers.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

3 times, and two of them I provided the music. 

I played piano for my Aunt's wedding, and then for this other person who needed a wedding musician. 

[Fritzy 1,690]

Multiple actually. My (eldest) brothers and a few cousins weddings. 

[Astralshy 23,558]

A couple of times over my whole life so far. The last was on Summer 2018 on a wedding of a friend.

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,362]

I've been to my sister's wedding 12 years ago in a local church.  

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,000]

I've been to two weddings in my life and to be frank, I went for the food and nothing else.
