Thought it'd be fun to have a thread dedicated to all things wedding related. Things you liked/disliked about weddings you've attended, things you liked/disliked about your own wedding, etc. I mean, most of us go to a lot more weddings than music festivals.
Anyway, I went to two weddings last weekend:
Like: One of them had a whiskey bar with dessert, which was awesome.
Dislike: When people start their wedding toasts with "with those of you who don't know me..." it's like nails on a chalkboard. Just introduce yourself.
I worked weekends at a country club during high school and on of the worst things was having to listen to the DJ play and say the exact same things for pretty much all weddings. Electric Slide, Sweet Caroline, etc. The repetition (especially if working a double shift) was terrible.
Never been to a wedding with a cash bar. I've also discovered I really don't care if the bar is beer/wine only.
I don't mind the beer/wine only, or having no premium beer/liquor, but the cash bar is just the worst thing ever. And they're never reasonable prices, it's always "NYC night club" prices.

I prefer beer/wine only, less of a wait!
It's all about the tip. Tip well at the start, tell the bartender you'll hook them up again at the end if they take care of you, bingo-bango you don't wait for anything.

Until every moron in front of you is ordering a manhattan or some shit.

That's why I tip well. 2 cubes and some whiskey is a quick pour, so sneaking it in between two lady drinks isn't a big deal and rarely pisses people off.

They're probably the jerks who don't tip at an open bar, too.
I went to an event a while back where they made it clear that they had handsomely covered the gratuity for the bar staff in advance (peeps are loaded, so I believe it), and not to tip them. Still so awkward NOT to tip someone who's handing you a drink, I never got used to it.

I was told that it's disrespectful to tip at a Jewish wedding (the implication being that the host wouldn't). This isn't widely practiced, is it? It was super awkward for me.

It was a 25 year anniversary celebration for a couple who is 1/2 Jewish, so maybe it's a similiar thing. That was the only time I've encountered it, personally.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I've been to Italian weddings where it's stated not to, then everyone laughs, says 'go f*ck yaself!" and does it anyway.
Yeah, in a situation where they say "don't worry about it we already covered it" I'd definitely tip some more. But it was portrayed as disrespectful to the bride's parents, so I just went with it.

So there was like an official announcement about it? Yeah, that's different than what I've experienced.
I've been to a Jewish wedding where that wasn't stated by anyone, but it was on Long Island and everyone sounded like Seinfeld's mom so I don't think it was the same type of traditional affair it sounds like you went to.

It wasn't announced, but one of my friends gave me a "don't you dare" speech about it.

We rarely got tipped by people at the place I worked. I'd bust my ass all night getting food and drinks and multiple coffee runs and all that and then people just up and leave. I know there were a good amount of people who didn't think they needed to tip because it wasn't like a real restaurant even though you had the same waiter throughout the night.
Occsaionally we'd get a few people who give us tips but mostly it was like "not my problem".

I think it's pretty common for people not to tip the wait staff, but tip the bartenders.
