Payment in full -- up front
I am a professional commercial photographer
and, I have shot hundreds upon hundreds of weddings --
I am most usually the photographer at ANY wedding I attend --even the weddings of VERY close friends and relatives (I do have a rock bottom rate for these folks -- but refuse to do even these for absolutely nothing -- it would break you and next thing -- EVERYONE who even remotely knows you would be expecting the same FREE service !! )
On the rare ocassion that I DO attend a wedding that I am not the photographer -- I would have to say -- the thing I would most want for myself -- would be patience and a "give a damn" attitude -- to keep me from stepping in to "assist" where I'm not needed or wanted (it is kinda hard to just SIT through one of these after so many )

Of course, it's to share in the specialness of witnessing the vows being said, and be present at the moment of the wedding ceremony. That's the most important part. However, it's just as important to have a great celebration to support the couple!

Is this your wedding or a friend/family members wedding? If this is your wedding then you should want for yourself and your husband and guests to be happy and enjoy each others company. Enjoy everybody celebrating you and your new husband.
If this is a friend/family members wedding, you should want to be happy for the couple and help celebrate their special day. Be a part of the group and let the couple know how much you care about them and their union and success in the marriage.

Honestly, the only thing other than a great day for the couple is to not have to stand in a buffet line. I feel like we're all cattle lining up for our vittles instead of a special person that came to celebrate with the couple. If I could choose, I would never choose buffet, it would always be seated and served meals at weddings.

I want to wish them well and have an enjoyable time. It is a party. One person could not afford to invite me to the reception, I came to just the ceremony and gave a gift. For that case the ceremony was enough.
When I had a wedding, it was important to me to make sure the guests has and enjoyable time. I checked food options for children, vegetarians, and vegans and made sure they all could be accommodated. I told my DJ the age range of most of my guest and to have every other set of music for my parents and their friends age range. Also I didn't place any tables on top of the speakers. I went to every table and tried to talked to every guest.
Being on the other side, I appreciate when the bride and groom throw a nice reception for their guests. It is more the thought than the cost. I have been to weddings where I must have pissed someone off because of my table, or they thought younger people can handle the loud noise better. Had to leave a wedding early because of headaches.
Another wedding our table never got desert, they ran out of wedding cake.

Yep. That's it. Sharing in the special day of people I love is why I would even consider attending a wedding.
Reception, meal, dance party - all fluff to me.

I expect what any guest at any event would expect: to be acknowledged, to feel welcomed and to later receive a written thank-you note for my gift. It's great to have good food and drink and entertainment, too, but I don't feel like the bride and groom are obligated for that, and sometimes circumstances don't allow for it.

Good food. I generally spend about 100 dollars on a gift - I expect to be fed. Perhaps a drink or two. For sure some cake.
