Anyone ever attend a wedding at GF?

If you know there's there's a wedding, could you go to the ceremony and watch without an invitation?

Here's the details.
A coworker is attending a wedding at the wedding pavailion the same time we'll be in WDW. I would love to go watch! I don't want to do the reception, or any of that, I just want to see the ceremony. (I love weddings and love WDW so...) Anyway, I was just wondering, If i dressed up nice and said I was going to the wedding, would anyone question me or kick me out? I equate it to if you were to drive by a church and someone was getting married, usually you could just walk in and watch.

What do you think?

I had my wedding at the Wedding Pavilion last month. I would definitely not go to the wedding uninvited. The Wedding Pavilion is set up in a way and guests are usually seated in a way that the bride/groom and their family might easily notice someone they didn't invite at the wedding. Depending on the size of their guest list, that is a definite possibility. Also, attending the pre-reception and reception would be inappropriate, as the bride/groom have to pay a pretty high per person fee for the food and they had to turn in their guest count before the wedding. My word of advise would be to contact the bride through your coworker and ask if she minds. Hope that helps!

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't want strangers just coming in to watch me get married, whether it be at WDW or in a church at home.

If the person is a co-worker, why not just tell him/her that you will be in WDW at the same time and would love to stop by to watch the wedding. *OOPS, I thought the person getting married is your co-worker.

I wouldn't actually go into the ceremony. This isn't a regular public church, it's a private area. Lots of folks watch the bride & groom going in, taking their pictures, etc., etc. You could wander around shortly before and/or after the time of the ceremony and catch a glimpse of the bride etc. If they were getting married in a public area -- like the marina at the GF -- lots of folks stop and watch at least for a few minutes.


You might want to ask your co-worker there feeling, especially if you are going to go into the ceremony. I would think that could be embarassing if you just surprised the co-worker, too.
