I never purposely miss the ceremony.... IMO it's the most important part of the whole wedding.



I agree!!! That is the wedding, I can't imagine just opting not to go Chat Icon

The ceremony IS the wedding. The reception is just the party celebrating the marriage. I feel that the ceremony is the most important thing to attend.

That said, most of my friends are Jewish, and have the ceremony and reception at the same place, so I haven't had any churches to go to earlier in the day yet.

Same here. If I don't go to the ceremony, I feel like I'm not putting in my time to the happy union. I like going to the ceremony to see that union.
IMO, the ceremony is the wedding, and reception is just the party.

I have missed ceremonys but only on Fridays of not so close friends that i had to work on and could not get to the church on time.

However, i have a wedding coming up of a couple that did not come to my ceremony so i don't think i am going to go to theirs.

Other then that i always make an effort to be there.

I never purposely miss the ceremony - like others have said, to me, it's the most important part about the day. It IS the wedding. I wouldn't imagine missing it.

For whatever reason they didn't make yours, why intentionally skip their ceremony? If you're that upset just don't participate in any of their wedding festivities.

I never really miss the ceremony. I think I missed it once, because the wedding was on a Friday, way out east and I had to wait for DH to get off work. I love going to the ceremony and seeing the bride make her grand entrance. I know a lot of people don't go to ceremonies and just head to the reception and I was rather shocked when I walked into my own ceremony and saw how many people were there, that made me feel real special!!

Re: Do you ever purposely miss the church ceremony?

No. I have only missed two ceremonies and both, incidentally, were for LIW brides. One I missed because I didn't really know the bride yet (now I count her as a good friend) and I felt weird going, see she had invited me to her Cocktail hour because we both got married at Chateau Briand and she felt bad that I'd never been able to taste the food there, and she ended up asking us to stay for dinner too! The other I missed because it was a Saturday afternoon wedding and that was back in the day when I was still on the Air on weekends, so I had to do my shift before I could go to the wedding. I only just barely made Cocktail hour!

Nevertheless, I always try to make the ceremony. I love weddings!

No, I do not purposely miss the ceremony, like many others, I feel it is the most important aspect of the wedding.

I did miss one b/c it was a friday afternoon and I had to work -- it was a co-worker and I stayed so her closer friends could attend the ceremony.

Things happen but I don't understand specifically choosing not to attend.

Ditto. I have only missed a couple Friday ceremonies of not so close friends but in those cases, i feel like the bride & groom understand ppl have to work

Re: Do you ever purposely miss the church ceremony?

I never miss the ceremony. I think that's horrible. The ceremony IS the wedding, not the cake and dancing. When iw as younger I always said I would give out the name and address of the reception hall AT the church so people would ahve to come to the ceremony. if you can be bothered to come see us get married, why do I want you there for the party?
