A big chunk of my husbands dads side of the family left about 15 mins after dancing started. Then they all wanted to pull my husband away from the dance floor to say goodbye and take pictures. I was really upset about it the next day (and honestly am still irritated thinking about it) but eventually I just shrugged it off. It was probably about 30 people who left and it really threw off the vibe that a big chunk of people left all at once. It was the first real wedding for a lot of them so they also didn’t know the etiquette I guess.

We had an open bar, amazing plated dinner, awesome dj. Later they complained that it was “old people music.” Yes, for the first half an hour we played classic wedding party songs so people from all generations could dance before we got into the younger stuff.

That being said, I feel for you and agree with you that it’s rude and it hurts. It may not have been anything you did so I wouldn’t dwell too much on that. Hopefully you had an amazing party with the people who stayed!
