Have you ever been to a Mormon Wedding Reception (rhetorical question)?

They aren’t fun! That is unless you like punch and cookies and shaking hands.

Maybe it depends on who's reception it is. All the receptions I went to had plenty to eat. Some even had dancing.

CC, I love to sit at a table, talk to friends and new acquaintances, and watch people while snacking. It’s heaven, at least for me. I get to watch an analyze people predict patterns of behavior learn new patterns weddings, when people have been under stress and now it’s the reception, people are more themselves than they are most any other time.

In College (outside Utah for the first two years), my nick name was DD (for Designated Driver) I would go to bars with some of my friends, I go the remote, free soda pop, and bar nuts, heaven. I got to watch people who didn’t care and were just going to be themselves. Plus I had friends who would not cross me for anything in the world, because they were not sure what they had told me when they were drunk (We always took one of their cars!)

LOL, you've got them down pat. However, times are changing. I have 2 nephews and one niece who have gotten married over the past couple of years. My niece had dancing and a spaghetti dinner and no formal line (no shaking of hands.) At my nephew's reception, they served crepes and they had a candy table (which apparently is quite the thing now.) He went to Japan on his mission, so they had those takeout boxes on a table with 25-30 types of candy in jars. The kids went wild and filled up their little boxes. It was really fun. They didn't have a formal line either. My other nephew had the traditional punch and cake at his open house. Don't know what they had at the reception in Idaho...

This brings back memories of the summer when I was a bridesmaid at 7 weddings. LOL. Punch and cookies at them all with the line and shaking of hands. I was so depressed because I wasn't getting married (always the bridesmaid, never the bride...)

You left out taking pictures of the groom and his blushing 'possession'.
