When there are a number of people attending a wedding,who don't know anyone but the bride, or the groom, it is impolite and crass, to NOT try to seat them with people one thinks that they would have a pleasant time with.

You must go to some very loosey goosey weddings. :-)

You must go to some very loosey goosey weddings. :-)

Pretty much. Most of my friends aren't rich, nor do they have rich families, so things get done on the cheap. My fiance and I are doing ours for under $10k. Lots of stuff is getting handmade by both of us.

Also, I'd rather let everyone find their own seats, next to people THEY think they'll have a good time with. And if not, well, dinner's only an hour or two anyway before the dancing starts.

I think it is wrong of you to put down another person's idea of a wedding, even though it does not come up to your level of proper etiquette. To call someone's wedding 'loosey goosey' is crass on your part, and not proper etiquette!
