Meh, as long as I didn't have to buy a second present I'm always down for free food and cake. Seems odd though. I don't get why the bride's parents didnt just kick in more money for the first wedding and invited more people.
The 2nd wedding (the one today) was full on officiant, white dress, cake cutting, toasts, crying maid of honor, etc.
I still can't figure out what the circumstances of the 1st wedding were. I think maybe it was in front of parents and they just had a little party?
I also don't know who paid for either one. But I think they are doing okay, and even the "bigger" wedding was only 60 people. The food was DELICIOUS though.
