Okay, let me get the rest of the crasher story out of the way, so I can concentrate on recapping the fun stuff.
First off, yes, they did come to the reception. But that's because I surprised them by asking them to come. Here's why: while talking to my uncle Barry the night before I'd been told that my cousin Michael had missed his plane and wouldn't be making it to the wedding. And Kelly's new girlfriend Katie had been scheduled to join her, but had to cancel at the last minute as well. So we had at least two paid for meals and two paid for drink packages that no one was going to use. My thought was: "well, they wanted to be be here for us, so why the heck not." I didn't know how badly the "Ms. Crasher" had behaved prior to our ceremony, though. If I had, I wouldn't have asked them.
So here's the deal. We had several of the Adventurers Club performers that were guests at the wedding. We invited them because many of them have become friends of ours, and because we have been social with them away from the Adventurers Club as well. We were very conscious of the fact that they were going to be there in their "civvies" the day after the club closed, and wanted to make sure that nobody got all starstruck or stalkerish with them. (Trust me, some of the "regulars" that used to go to the Adventurers Club every single night were CRAZY and stalking performers happened a number of times.) We were confident that the people on our guest list could be counted on to not behave badly. Turns out we were right about our invited guests. We just missed the boat, thinking that the crashers would be harmless.
So, while we're in taking pictures, and everyone else is out in the Main Salon being social. Ms. Crasher plants herself between two of the more popular performers, pulls out her cell phone and starts calling people. "You'll NEVER believe where I am and who I'm sitting with!" Bragging away, acting like the performers where collectibles and she'd just pin-traded for them.
When we found out she'd done this, we were MORTIFIED! Clearly, they weren't there to share our day with us, they were there to be at the club at a special event after it had closed and to be able to "hang out with the cast".
Scott and I are so embarassed that such behavior took place at our event, and are quite upset that our graciously allowing them to stay after they showed up uninvited was repaid with such rude behavior. And we feel so badly for the performers who had to endure being objectified so she could feel special. I'm eternally gratefull to them that they didn't make a scene (which they were well within their rights to do), but I plan on apologizing to them as soon as I see them again (those that I haven't already done so, that is)
They also pulled one of the smaller tables at the Atlantic Dance Hall over to a table where several of the cast members were sitting at the reception, and I'm told monopolized the conversation. At the reception they were loud and obnoxious (especially with the glass clinking thing, which I found very annoying).
So that's what I didn't know at the time, that would have changed everything had I known earlier. We were told all about it at the Hospitality Suite after the reception.
The thing is, they're a very well-off couple with two sons in their mid-twenties. You can't even blame it on "being young". I guess it just goes to show that age does not neccessarily bring wisdom, and money does not buy class.
