Mark and M.E. Wedding Fiasco Day 2: We had 327 guests at our wedding. Remember, Mark is Italian and Lebanese and they reproduce like bunnies. 2/3's of the guest were from his side of the family. The wedding was at 2pm, although my father made sure I was late. He needed to know my impatient fiancé would wait for me. The reception was supposed to begin at 6pm. Unfortunately, the room wasn't ready until 7pm so we were forced to hang out in the hallway. It was very crowded and annoying. When we finally entered the ballroom, they hadn't even vacuumed from the afternoon event that took place in the room.
