You think that is boring? In my city, and maybe other parts of the country(I shall find out this weekend), you and your wife are made to stand on the podium, all dressed up with make-up and shit, and basically people gather in a line and congratulate you and give you presents. Worse; after that, these people stand around you, and a photographer takes 2 pics of you with them kind of like proof that those people attended the wedding. And while this shit happens, there's a videographer using an old-ass camera, shining bright light on your face, and recording you just standing there like a retard and smiling for the other camera. Once it is done, that group of people go, and a fresh batch arrives. And the cycle repeats. This goes on for 2-2.5 hours.
Wedding ceremonies and receptions are ass-raping bullshit!
