Am I the only one who hates going to big weddings?

[zanana]

Sometimes I wonder if something's wrong with me. I'm usually sincerely happy for the couple getting married, but I hate going to the weddings (especially the receptions). All I can think of is what a waste of effort and money it is to rent out the country club reception room, spend an enormous amount on food that goes half eaten, smile and smile for dozens of photographs and try to hide from all the video cameras and waste a perfectly good Saturday. It's all so predictable; one wedding is very much like another, and the chances are 50/50 that the marriage will last. Does anyone else feel this way, or am I just an antisocial crab?
