...I thought everyone did that. Here though, the bridesmaids "steal" the groom and the groomsmen "steal" the bride and go bar hopping at different (separate) bars for about an hour.
While everyone invited to the reception stands around wondering "Whatinhell am I doing here?" No. They all "visit" and catch up with old friends and family. It's not that big of a deal. It gives people a chance to show up from where ever the wedding was held. Then when the wedding party walks in, everyone joins in the celebration. If you feel the wedding party is disrespecting you just because you "bothered" to show up, you should have never attended the wedding in the first place. Sheesh Hold into the ham buns!

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

My parents talked about a 'chivaree'. Basically, practical jokes like removing or loosening the hardware on the bed, rocks in hubcaps, removing labels from canned goods. It sometimes went as far as a fake kidnapping the bride and making the anxious groom pay a ransom.
Where I'm from the chivaree was a surprise housewarming if it was decided that the couple was taking too long to have one.

If they come back no one else liked them

Seems to be a "thing" in Iowa and Missouri too. Wedding party leaves for an hour or more, goes bar hopping or just go drinking somewhere and than come back.
Not sure when this started, but I'm not a big fan when your standing around at the reception hall and there is not wedding party.

Wife’s hillbilly cousin got married to some ‘far extinguisher’ inspection boy whatever
In a hoe down events barn.
I guess that’s the new tradition. Bunch of no-goin-to-church mfkers get married in an ‘events pavillion’ nowadays on some yuppie’s wedding planner farm.
I know my church won’t let your heathen asses get married there if’n you ain’t a member. So that’s that. A lot of Baptist churches are like that around here.
It rained lol
So the ridin six white horses hokey BS had to be cancelled and the 60s convertible corvette you take pics in too was cancelled.
Now...there was a rented big tiddy bar tender gal, ‘open bar’ wasnt her money or liquor so she was fixin some damn good drinks. 😃👍

I like my grandparents’ style, they got married on a Sunday afternoon in the spring in the preacher’s yard with only my Grandad’s dad as the witness. Paid the preacher $5 and charged headlong into life together. Been 69 years this past month.
My parents got married in a similar fashion in the 1950's. They went to the preacher's house to tie the knot, then had a get together with local family at my Grandfather's house. They were married over 50 years until Dad died. Average people back in the day had neither the money nor the audacity to throw weddings like they do now.

Perhaps the stupidest wedding tradition is spending scads of money on a "Barbie princess" wedding that could be put to much better use by the couple. ^^ This ^^ .
