I want to hear about them all: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
I went to seven this past year. Only two (TWO!) were lovely and properly hosted.
The other five... cash bars at all, two were PPDs (B&G were already married in a courthouse ceremony), one was a DW at a crappy resort, and one had the worst DJ I've ever seen.
I was a BM for one and FI was a groomsman for three. Grand combined total spent is $depressing. I'm thankful at this moment that my 2015 wedding is the only one I'm attending next year.
