few details really...
My BF does not want to go to a ceremony because it is two miles away from wriggley field and the cubs are playing the white soxs. he does not think just accepting and making the appropriate plans are a good idea. he does not even want to try to make it. he just wants go to the reception.
is this a cliche or what?

NO not at all!
You have to go to both or neither.
Whatever you do!DONT tell them that you missed it because of a game.A wedding is way more important then a game.
Just go whithout him,dont not go just because your freind doesnt.
Id rather have him seem like an ****** than both of us.

It's kinda tacky to just go to the reception if you've been invite to both the ceremony and the reception; you're basically telling the couple that you don't want to share in the joy of their union, you just want a free meal and some cake.
If you had to work or had a decent excuse for not being able to make it to the ceremony, that would be all right; but to ditch your friend's once-in-a-lifetime event for a baseball game is pretty lame. He must not be very good friends with these people. If they are *your* friends, go without him and he can meet you later.

Your boyfriend is completely disrespecting the bride and groom. The reception is to celebrate the union of the bride and groom, not just a free buffet with drinks for him to enjoy after the baseball game. That is incredibly tacky. Unless he is a Dr. and he was treating patients during the ceremony, there is no reason he should just go to the reception.

Not really, the ceremony is the most important part! People go to the reception to celebrate the vows they witnessed earlier in the day at the ceremony.

A lot of people just go to the reception, I agree with the people who say that its tacky. But if this family or a close friend, then at least YOU should go, even if your boyfriend doesn't want to. Then the 2 of you could go to the reception together.

I think it is totally rude to skip the ceremony. It's like you're just going to get free food. The reception is about celebrating the marriage...which happens at the ceremony.

If he had a good reason, it would be acceptable. I would think he could at least try to make it. Maybe you should go to the ceremony and apologize for your bf's absence.

If the guest list includes more than 20 people, nobody will know anyway. The bride and groom have plenty of other things on their minds.
Just don't RSVP for the reception and then skip it. I bought more than 20 plates at $32 each for jerks who RSVPed and then didn't come.

Just go to the reception. Most people do not go to the wedding except family and really close friends. Let your boyfriend go watch the game.

There isn't a whole lkot wrong with just going to the reception, but are they really that good of friends if he'd rather go to a game?
