A lot of geriatric aunts and uncles showing they still had it on the dance floor, very few people falling down at any of them.
But I'm starting to understand why you have such inane cocktail party stories. You go to bad parties.

I've been to Korean and Indian ceremonies. The food's generally better at those. And the processes are indeed more interesting.
I've never heard a liturgy through which I didn't incessantly daydream. We made a few errors with our wedding, but one element all guests save the pious (whose sensibilities were of .0000% importance to me) agreed was excellent: No mass. Even the priest who did the wedding agreed it was best to eschew that, particularly given the wedding parties were Jews and Episcopalians. (Episcopalians may be Catholic-lite, but even they don't desire to sit through some pompous ritual.)
I love Greek food. I have to get invited to one of those.
ETA: They're on Sunday sometimes, so they kind of ruin Monday, but Conservative or Orthodox Jewish weddings have amazing food.
