Head Table vs. Sweetheart Table

I will agree with you there. My fiance was in a wedding last summer, I didn't know anyone at the wedding at all  except for my fiance and the bride and groom and was seated with a bunch of other couples by myself. I hated it. 

We had also played around with the idea of having a separate reserved table right next to the parents table for all the SOs of the bridal party, because they would at least have one thing in common their SO is in the bridal party. 

But because of the way I felt sitting alone at that wedding is why I started to question the head table in the first place. 

What the fuck? How is that a thing to have in common? Hey, you're dating someone in the wedding party...me too! So...you like sports? No...oh. What? Knitting? No I don't knit. But hey, we're both dating people who are friends with the bride and/or groom. We've got loads in common.

This just seem like such a stupid detail of the wedding. Either way most people are going to be sitting at tables for only 20 mins or so to eat and then they are going to get up and mingle, and by that time they will start clearing tables and taking some down to make room for the dance floor. 

Why are people so sensitive to everything at a wedding? Its not about other people its about the couple getting married, that's the whole reason you are there. 

Wait!  What?  So some people are going to be losing their tables, places to sit, places to set their purses and cameras, because you didn't get a big enough room for both tables AND a dance floor?

Now suddenly this is a stupid detail, when just a few hours ago you said how much you HATED being separated from your SO.

We had a sweetheart table at our wedding. Groomsmen sat with their families and BMs sat with their SOs. And our sweetheart table was raised like a foot off the ground. But we had a 25 person wedding and were able to see everyone enjoying themselves while we ate, which I liked. And no one watched us eat, cuz they were all at the buffet feeding themselves and then sitting down and talking to their families/SOs.

At my BM's wedding 3 weeks later I sat at the head table and DH sat at the reject table in the corner by my ex-boyfriend.

Yeah.

I hate head tables, and I think having a table just for SOs because they have that their dates are in the WP in common is ridiculous. And I judge anyone who thinks the comfort of their guests takes a back seat to what the couple wants.
