Crashing a Wedding

What? Have you never done it?
I haven't. I do intend to soon and then probably write about that too. I'm a shameless little bastard when it comes to free food. I admit it. At some point of time in your life, passing by a glorious wedding, you too must've thought of just getting into one, randomly posing for all their family photographs, hogging on the glamour and especially the food and disappearing while the crowd's still dense. We all get invited to weddings so it's not as much the free food as the excitement of allegedly getting into a wedding you weren't invited for. It is frowned upon though. I wonder why. Does it say I can't afford my own food and I'm from a backward family who didn't teach me the mannerism necessary to avoid such things? So far, I have avoided it. But it doesn't make any sense. To someone as food driven as I am, it doesn't matter to me and to most people nowadays, what other people think of them. So what's to stop hogs like me from gate crashing a wedding? Most places don't check invitations. Wear the right attire, avoid the bride and groom's family and if the crowd's big enough, which it is for most of our big fat Indian weddings, then one blends right in. Then, there's the satisfaction of eating so much free food and the comfort to the conscience that a lot of this food, as it happens at most weddings, is going to go waste so we rather stuff ourselves with it while its still warm. Hmm... so the only reason for me to abstain from such actions is moral values and the despising eyes of society? Ha! Be prepared wedding planners, the invasion begins now.
