ST - Please do me a solid and forgive me for asking a question that gets asked a lot around here...

But why do people act so strangely about other people's weddings?

Responses:

Jealousy? Self absorbed? Letting petty differences up to the surface? -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:59
because society has placed such importance on the day, people tend to project their expectations of what a wedding should be. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 08:53
You being opinionated and judgemental? People can be like that about pretty much everything. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:48 8
- Put "mean" after "you." Please! -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:49 7
  - no -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:54 2
    - Pleeeeease? -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:56 1
      - OK -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:58
  - (or not.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 08:50 2
    - "Dammit Sean!!" -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:51 1

I think that will remain one of life's mysteries. - ty97 Nov 5, 08:45 7
- it's so odd, because if someone you loved was throwing any other sort of party, you would just show up, be nice and that's it. -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 08:48 6
  - I think weddings somehow "formalize" your relationships to some people. So if they aren't asked to perform a certain role, it's terribly hurtful. - loosilu Nov 5, 08:51 3
    - And that is about as selfish as it gets. Unless your director's chair has "Bride" or "Groom" on it, it's not about you. - Jim Nov 5, 08:53 2
      - At my wedding I was fourth in line - amoxy Nov 5, 08:58
      - I'm certainly not defending it. :) -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:53
  - I think it brings out the worst in some very sad bitter people. They see someone being happy and it highlights their own miserable existence in - Loyola Nov 5, 08:51
  - Exactly!!! -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:50
No idea. I still don't understand how hard it is to, just for one day, allow the day to not be about them. - Jim Nov 5, 08:45 1
- the IM made me snort. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:46
I think people act strangely about weddings, full stop. It brings out every dysfunctional dynamic imaginable. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:44
