Free food and alcohol.
How can you be bored?
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Why did you just not go? Are you controlled or something.

I hear it a ton from friends all the time, I fail to see why they moan about such things when they can just not go, there usually is some excuse to do with either gf or wife or or or etc etc.
I just say fuck doing anything that I really would not like to do that is of this social type of tat, sure if it is not THAT much a chore then go but if you post about it then it means really you dislike it that much, so you don't go
Grow a pair

Here in Israel, when you go to a wedding, you hand out a check or cash for some amount. (Gifts are less popular by a huge margin; maybe just from close friends and family). The rationale is that the checks help out pay for most of the wedding ceremony. Wedding industry here is a huge busyness, from wedding halls to food to photographers to dresses. People are expected to throw large weddings (200 invitees is considered somewhat small), you are supposed to invite your college friends, coworkers, family, etc. Small private weddings are considered strange and people wonder why. Personally, I don't get it. All weddings I've attended (bar a few special ones) are all the same, from the pre-ceremony to the rabbi bullshit to food to dance. Newlyweds barely get to see someone for more than a few minutes or seconds, there are crazy stresses related to the wedding organization. Indeed, the few "unconventional" weddings I've attended, where the wedding was done in a private house, with just small number of invitees, no rabbi were the best.
Personally, I think elopement to New York city hall is best.

It's family. I like the cousin and his wife, but the whole procedure is tiresome.

You're right guys. We pay, but I consider it a gift and we pay via bank transaction. I dont pay for the food and the alc.

Haha yeah, it's very noticeable here as well despite the typically classic mentality. Marriages went from being the fulcrum of the society to being a rarity, or at least something that tends to happen after the 30s, with grown up kids and more solid financial backgrounds.
Because that's the problem, getting married 'properly' costs a fortune and brings absolutely zero benefits here, only dem lawyers thrive in it like sharks (and the priests, of course, they're the sharks' remora fishes! )

Really? Interesting. We place the money into envelopes and hand them when we leave the party.
