to wed is to dine

Weddings are mini-dramas packed into a hectic 3-hour meal. We envy, we show off. We yawn, we blah-blah-blah. We laugh, scoff, bluff, puff, and play deaf. The exchange of gestures and emotions are just too much to be stomached for one night.

So when the show ended, we usually come home totally exhausted and mildly disgusted, going to bed early, hoping all the mixed feelings, bad tastes in the mouth, will all go away in the morning.
