But you're not considering the fact that most people are obligated to attend a wedding. But fuck it, maybe I just can't relate to adults who get infatuated with things to this degree.

Well, grown ass adults also shouldn't feel that their friends are obligated to attend wedding, especially if they are planning to let their freak flag fly. Maybe I am just giving people too much credit.

Idk about other people but I would hope most of my friends and family would feel obligated to come to my wedding. I would feel obligated to go to all of theirs and I think most socially adept adults would feel the same way. You have obligations as a human being and as a friend.

Yup, people just don't like to admit they have obligations so they feel more in control. But in the real world it's either go to the wedding or risk coming off as a complete dick unless you have a good excuse.

You are completely forgetting about family.

It's not that anyone is actually obligating anyone to go (except in the case of family where it an actual obligation) it's just a polite social expectation. Is there any way to not sound like an asshole in saying, "Yeah, I didn't go to my friend's wedding. What? No, it was because they had this really weird nerdy shit and I wasn't comfortable going."

Or what if you really want to celebrate your friend's wedding, but you really don't want to get behind the weird cosplay shit they're doing? Sometimes it's nice having an expectation of "Okay, I'm gonna need a suit and tie/dress whatever, we're gonna sit down and have the ceremony and then dancing/cake." A traditional wedding is still a beautiful celebration of the love that two people are coming together to share. You can throw an after party with all the weird shit without having to make grandma and grandpa sit through it.

I don't see much difference between being expected to rent a tux and dress formally and being expected to rent a chain mail shirt and dress like a knight or something. It's all a bunch of bullshit for the sake of the bride and groom. Just because something is traditional doesn't mean it's inherently better or more correct than an alternative.

Who gets to decide what being an "adult" is, you? Clearly that's what you're saying here, that you've decided what an adult is, and this is not it. So, the problem lies squarely with you, and you alone. These people probably loved the hell out of their wedding.

My statement is based on age. "Maybe I just can't relate to adults who get infatuated with things to this degree." -- So unless you don't think these people are adults, this doesn't make any sense in response to my original comment.

I never said they weren't adults for their interests.

I don't get it either, to me it's so cringy it's sad. Guess I'm not nerdy enough to appreciate it.
