| Mar 8, 2013 at 19:39 | comment | added | J.R. | @Martin: About "wedding dramas" – perhaps the wedding ceremony itself is not unexpected, but when I hear the phrase wedding drama, I think of the unplanned aspects of the wedding that add drama to the occasion: the bad weather, the late guest arrivals, a torn dress, a spat amongst the bridesmaids, Uncle Larry making a fool out of himself after having too much to drink, the reception hall serving the wrong food, the photographer with boorish manners, etc. Without any of that, I'd say what's left is "a nice wedding, with no drama." | |
