Oh I did tell them if they didn't like the dresses, they could just get out of the bridal party......
Did I mention it was his sister and his cousin's wife??

Ive been to both types of weddings. Im not really into the formal place cards. Why should I sit with some old person who pees their pants???
  I was married on the beach and had tables outside decorated beautifully....anyone could sit wherever.

We have a lot of barefoot sunset beach weddings here, with a short walk
for the guests up to the restaurant, and then, depending on the family, it is either formal seated, or sit anywhere. We also have a lot of bushland setting weddings, and a giant feast style reception, one long table banquet where everyone swaps around. That's here where I live, but we have the whole gammit of traditional, non traditional style weddings...in Australia... I dont think we are too different from the rest of the world, on the whole white frock formal do.

When I got married, I just walked up my folks driveway, and joined everyone under the gum tree...my then 8 month old baby on my hip, (he's 24 now)..did our thing...said our stuff... smiled at the camera... and suffered the cheek pinching great aunties...
I didnt even have bridesmaids..and I had to wear this stooopid lacy champagne coloured curtain thing that allegedly was a wedding dress...  I wanted to wear jeans.

I have never been to a "formal" wedding.
I have had to wear a "monkey" suit (tuxedo) quite a few times. But everyones wedding reception was sit yourself down except at the table reserved for the Bride & Groom. |

Well just got in from the wedding a few minutes ago, and my daughter didn't have to worry about moving her seat to my table......they put me at the kids table.
We had a very time though......some young guy thought he was going to shock me and start dancing with me......I put that little boy in his place!!

I'm not sure how they do weddings here in Florida, but up in PA. a good many are held in firehalls.
The fire companies are mainly volunteers so each fire company has to raise money for their equipment. Most have a hall which they rent out for weddings, banquets, wakes, and so on. They can be quite fun.  I have only ever been to one wedding where we had assigned seating. The rest have been choose where you wish to sit, and with whom. |

I live in the Poconos and I have been to many weddings some have been formal where you have assigned seats and some have been less formal where people sit where ever they want to
I always liked doing a seating chart so you can mix the grooms family with the brides family and they can get to know someone they wouldn't otherwise come in contact with |

Why should I sit with some old person who pees their pants??? i used to work with a guy who peed his pants all the time. it was a medical problem but still, he should have handled his business. eventually HR had to make him start wearing diapers. |

Jon and I were just talking about weddings and I realized that they are very different in Idaho than they are here in New York. I told him my daughter and I are going to a wedding Friday night and my daughter said if she isn't sitting at my table, she will just move her seat and sit with me. It is my nephew's wedding but Kate doesn't always get along too well with her other cousins (their noses are too high in the air..) Jon laughed when I told him what she said and told me, people just sit where ever they want..... Do you have formal weddings where you live or just happy get-togethers? that is not a "new york thing". i am from new york and was married there, and the people attending could sit where ever the hell they wanted. its up to the bride/groom to determine if there should be a seating chart. its not a state thing at all... |

Weddings are normally quite formal in the UK, at least in my experience. Im going to one next saturday(Im the Best Man), which is informal as far as they go, but im pretty sure everyone will have an allocated seat, and that people will sit where they are told to.
I think it would be pretty rude for people to move about. If you change your seat you will be sitting in someone elses seat. There has to be some kind of order, especially when there are a hundred or more guests. |

Italian weddings in Toronto have always been big, ostentatious and fairly formal (although less so in recent years).
The seating is always assigned and it's a carefully thought through arrangement with help from both sides of the family. Of course, the further your table from the head table, the more slighted you feel, so it's important to have special family and friends near the front. The tables usually sit about 8 or 10 people and the staff have the seating plans ahead of time. If one person decided to move their seat, there just wouldn't be any place setting for him. Personally, if someone gets an assigned seat, I'd think it terribly rude of them to just bypass the bride and groom's wishes. |

I would think it depends on the couple getting married and what they plan. I've been to the formal weddings as well as small weddings at someone's house. |
