Re: Would this qualify as wedding guest Darwinism?

It's extraordinary what some people think is acceptable humour
at weddings. I once read an article in which a professional
wedding photographer shared some 'tips of the trade', including
how, when you have to organise the wedding party into position
for group shots, you have to jolly them along with humorous
chat, such as "calling out to the bridegroom's mother to pull
her tummy in a bit". :o :o :o.
I'm amazed that man was still alive, let alone got recommended
and hired.

I cannot imagine this guy having done more than one wedding.
Wow! ::)

Possibly this is his way of keeping out competition.

The fact that this guy doesn't think he was the jerk speaks
volumes about him.

The best man at my wedding had the show play “I still haven’t
found what I’m looking for.” I’ve never forgotten it, been
married 28 years...

I would have taken this as the best man not having found what he
was looking for, if anything, or that he just liked the song. I
wouldn't have taken this as a slight against you at all!
I was at a wedding this past weekend which was decidedly
anti-religious of any sort. The officiant and the bride and the
groom each stated during the ceremony that they intended to rush
through the ceremony so they could go get drunk. It was
off-putting to a lot of people, but apparently exactly the vibe
they wished to convey!

When it comes to working out how long marriages will last, I
always think of a famous British TV presenter, Bruce Forsyth.
He married Wilnelia Merced who was over 20 years his junior (if
not 30) in 1983 and everyone expected them to split within 5
years*. Instead they were still happily together when he died
in 2017 (and there was never any suggestion either of them
cheated either). It just goes to show you can’t tell which
relationships will succeed from the outside.
*She was a young and extremely beautiful ex-Miss World, he was
rich, famous, substantially older and not traditionally good
looking plus it was his third marriage. Conclusions were jumped
to.

^^^ This reminds me of Erica Girardi aka Erica Jayne who stars
in Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She married the much older
lawyer depicted in Erin Brokovitch. They appear to have a solid
marriage with mutual respect. She gets to pursue her dreams as a
pop star in her mid-40s and he gets to enjoy having a vibrant
and outspokenly smart spouse. From what I can see they both
genuinely love each other for who they are (and who they are
not). Not a marriage I would want, but it’s not my marriage!

I could see it being a fun song to play during the bouquet toss
or the garter toss (if you had those).

I think that you're in the U.S., so it makes me wonder why they
didn't just have a courthouse ceremony when it was convenient,
and then a party afterward.
