Do you ever purposely miss the church ceremony?
I have only missed one, but it wasn't on purpose. Do you ever just feel like not sitting through the mass, but going to the reception later on that night?
DH was shocked that some of my cousins did not show for ceremony, I just brushed it off, to each their own.

Re: Do you ever purposely miss the church ceremony?
I never purposely miss the ceremony.... IMO it's the most important part of the whole wedding. We had a wedding last week, I felt really bad when we missed the ceremony and only went to the reception.

that is DH's feeling. He claimed the ceremony no shows as just a bunch of bar flys looking for their next free drink and meal. He said if he would have known that they were not going to show up for the ceremony then would have been off the list.

Re: Do you ever purposely miss the church ceremony?
Many people do not go out of their way to go to the ceremony unless it is a close family member or friend, and even then it is iffy.

Thats a little harsh. Just b/c I don't like to sit through the ceremony ( when I can hardly make it to the reception on time as it is) does not mean I am there for a free drink and meal!
I always more then cover the cost of my own meal!

yeah, he was blown away. I was surprised that people did not come, but that's just people. I guess he feels like we invited you to celebrate our union together, even though you did not want to sit in church for the 40 minutes to witness it. I never miss a ceremony, only once due to work, I don't feel right about missing it..

That's how I feel. I don't know that I'd say it's people looking for a free meal or anything, I just think it's selfish to "opt out" of the ceremony and just go to the reception. If you accept an invitation, unless there's a darn good reason for not making it, you accepted the invitation to share the wedding day. That not just includes, but especially means, the ceremony.

Re: Do you ever purposely miss the church ceremony?
We have only missed 2 ceremonies. Both were a couple of hours away and there was a large break in between the ceremony & reception. We had no place to go all dressed up in between and it would have made it like a 10 hour wedding.
Otherwise we always attend - family, friend, whatever. It is important to us, because that is the actual wedding - what we are there to celebrate. I have to say I noticed who didn't attend my ceremony. Some whatever, but my dad's sister didn't make it to mine (my godmother I might add) and that made me mad. My mom was p * ssed! She was too busy primping.

Re: Do you ever purposely miss the church ceremony?
I hate missing the ceremony (and usually don't.) I feel that the ceremony is what it's all about! SO however, LOVES missing the ceremony, especially if the church is far away from the reception. He doesn't like to wait in between either... so just going to the reception avoids the long wait.

Me too. That's the most important and sacred part... not the open bar and dancing. Trust me when I say I am no longer a practicing Catholic and don't feel comfortable attending mass, but I want to witness the vows.
This is also why I was insistant on having our cermony and reception at one place. I told people that the hall did not allow any late arrivals.
