Show me ONE that has.
Besides my third one, in the Judge's office, standing on the Seal of the State of Texas, with the judge, his clerk, a recorder, and me and the ex and her kid.
The best part was waiting in the courtroom for our appointment, and being entertained by his modified Judge Bean justice. And his arranging us after he figured out the guy with the pony-tail responded to drill-field commands. 'Face-right-face, kiss the bride!' turned out to be funny for a lot of years.

I think my daughter's was mostly perfect. Yes, there was one friend of hers that got off at some train station miles away and didn't know how to get to where we were. (I told her to call a cab and I would pay whatever it cost. End of problem.) Also I didn't discover the dozens of people at an outside bar smoking my cigars until after midnight.

My poor sister had the perfect wedding planned. The whole month of May that year was as beautiful, weather-wise, as could be. But on the 21st, her wedding day, a violent thunderstorm hit. The lightening was bright, often, and very scary. My sister and her 6 bridesmaids, of which I was one, had to walk under big golf umbrellas to get in and out of the limos to get in the church.
But for some reason, we waited a long time in the back foyer of the church before the wedding got started. We found out why. The power had been knocked out and there were no lights in the church. Even though this was an afternoon wedding, the church was quite dark. Candles were lit, and that made it a true “candlelight ceremony”.
Unfortunately, the organ ran on electricity and was, therefore, not working. So the organ player, an elderly gentleman, sang the Ave Maria for the wedding party to march down the aisle, The church is one of the largest in the South, and has quite a long aisle. There were 6 bridesmaids, and I was the matron of honor, so I walked last before the bride. The old man asked me to please wait a minute before proceeding because he was out of breath from singing so long.
The priest read the vows and the liturgical passages by a flashllight held by the best man. That was 22 years ago and they are still happily married.
I went to a wedding and the reception had a CASH bar.
Needless to say I didnt stay long, and neither did a lot of people.
How tacky....
