I remember different aspects from each wedding that I've attended.
There's one wedding for a not-so-close relative where I remember being bored in the church because it was a Greek wedding (long ceremony in a foreign language) and I couldn't see what was going on, if anything. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything else from that reception.
There's another reception for a relative that I attended. They had a small group of close relatives at the ceremony, so we did not attend (I'm still offended by that). I was pretty young but I remember thinking how cheesy their wedding introduction was. It was one of those over-the-top introductions with the MC using a tacky version of a radio announcer voice.
At a wedding in downtown New York City, all I remember was how crappy the club-style NYC DJ was, how loud the music was booming, and bridesmaids puking in the bathroom. However, if it was a great day for them, then that's all that matters. One good thing that came out of that reception: I got drunk for the first time (age 14).
I remember another wedding where I got to meet a lot of the J Mac's friends, the bride and groom danced to "Sweet Home Chicago" and the DJ was clueless on music after the big-band era. He spent his time online, desperately trying to download newer music, but knew squat about it. One of his powered speakers lost their bass in the middle of the open dancing, but I think only the J Mac and I noticed.
There was another wedding for one of the J Mac's friends where it was simply a great evening. Blue lighting illuminated the room during dinner (wish they kept it on). I remember that there was not enough food, though, it was still a fun party.
One other couple had a wedding that was very them. That's what the J Mac and I thought anyway. They are a very subdued, more straight-laced couple. The theme color was a pastel green and the ceremony seemed to take forever, but was very emotional. I remember the food the most because it was my first time encountering food stations for a buffet.
There was also a cousin's wedding where it was not the traditional Greek wedding. They held in a garden outside one of the fancy estates in Waltham, MA (Lyman Estate, I think) and a friend of the bride and groom officiated the ceremony. It was short and sweet, which was good, because it was hot outside!
Wow! That's a lot of weddings! Like I said, something different for each wedding. I do remember some of the music, but I've always been a music person.
