Good grief! I don't even want to go to weddings of people I do
know. I can't imagine deliberately going to a stranger's.

People who do this sort of thing have no conscience. They are
putting the couple -- and possibly their parents -- in a no-win
situation because nobody with any class would want to risk
causing a scene that would be the most memorable incident at the
event. I've never personally witnessed such a thing but I would
definitely resent being put in this position in order to be
stolen from and laughed at later.

Oh, they don't go to the wedding! They only go to the reception
where food and drinks are being served.

I do not go to fancy enough weddings, because even the food and
drink are not worth it! =P
I did attend one wedding and I still dream of the food years
later. I should try to find that hotel and see if they do their
own catering... or just crash a wedding there! =P

We do go to the weddings and receptions of those we love. We
usually leave as soon as the loud music starts.

My goal is to be out of there before they toss the bouquet, if
possible. I really do not want to be forced to stand in a sea of
young, beautiful, single women pretending that I want to catch
it!

When I said wedding, I meant both the ceremony and reception.
DaDancingPsych, I know what you mean. I've been to so many
wedding with mediocre food. Even if it were free, I wouldn't
choose to go. Instead I have to buy a gift and new clothes (we
don't have a lot of extra money and my clothing budget goes
mostly to work clothes).
Luckily, when we do go to weddings, or other similar events, we
escape early. Mr. S has to get up at 3:30 am (and even when he's
not working the next day, his internal sleep clock doesn't know
it). It's a great, acceptable excuse to get out of there.

I would be very hesitant to require the guests to bring their
invitation for admittance. For one thing, no one wants to line
up to get in, not to mention the people that forget to bring
theirs!
This reminds me of the scene in Working Girl where they crash a
wedding. Harrison Ford does a great job of BSing his way to
dancing with one of the bridesmaids. And Melanie Griffith
manages to wrangle a dance with the father of the bride! Of
course, it's just a movie! :)

Oh? In Britain the tradition has always been to have a
'receiving line', where the hosts (e.g. the bride's parents) and
the bridal couple stood at the entrance of the reception venue
to greet their guests. Does this not happen where you live?
This of course meant that a queue was created anyway, so to have
someone checking people's invitations while they're waiting
would take no extra time. And if anyone forgot their invitation,
of course the checker could simply ask their name and check in
the list of invitees.

They do in my part of the States. However, often times the
receiving line occurs at the church after the ceremony. Then the
guests head to the reception hall (while the couple get
photographed) and wait for the bride and groom to arrive (often
with a grand entrance.) So, no receiving line at the reception,
although I have seen it, which would then help with wedding
crashing. Although if the crashers simply wait until the line
has dissolved to enter the party, than it may be simpler.
I'm just sad that we have come to a point where we need a
bouncer for a wedding!!!
