Yep, fun thread to read while bored at work.

I was thinking about starting a spinoff thread but I'll ask here if anyone will answer...

Is it trashy for the bride and groom to go out with the close friends (say downtown) after the reception? I've seen both with weddings I've been to. Some the bride and groom come out after a little alone time (these were the more fun weddings IMO), and some they went off and went do whatever and honeymooned.

Asking because I am getting married next year and brought up going out after secks after the reception. Some people have given me weird looks after mentioning it, so I didn't know if it was trashy or not.

Our wedding was out of town for everyone (including us). So basically everyone is in vacation mode. Many of our guests we haven't seen in years so we went out with our friends afterwards to be able to spend more time with them. I'm glad we did. We had a blast with our friends. And then still back to our condo and had a proper wedding night.

nope

last wedding I was in, after the wedding a bunch of us went out, and about 11 (mid afternoon wedding), the groom texted me wanting to know where we were and they met us out and we all had a great time

it was cool because we all don't get together that often and it was fun for them because it allowed them to really wind down after all the stress leading up to the wedding

Now I did go to a wedding where everyone went out after the wedding. We all piled up in the limo....and went to a strip club.

Bride and groom got on stage and the strippers whipped both of them.

Now I'd say that was trashy
