As much as I love Oprah, I wouldn’t want her to be center of attention at my wedding. Not that I’m ego-centric… but I’d rather guests remember our wedding for the lovely ceremony, the good food and the awesome music and not as “the Oprah wedding.”

My brother and sister-in-law had Miss Manners at their wedding! Although not much of a recognizable celebrity- certainly a celebrity who put people on edge at least during dinner. Although, she was invited and in true Miss Manners style, she did not crash.

ps, I wouldn’t want Miss Manners at my wedding. I hate etiquette… haha.

I’d be mad and ask them to leave. I am a pretty laid-back bride about most things, but I am sorry, if you are not on the guest list then you are not invited. I really want to celebrate my wedding with my friends, not have them all enamoured with some random celebrity and forget all about the wedding.

I’d be thrilled if it was a cool celebrity. It would be sweet if Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosaylnn, crashed our shindig.

When my best friend was married three years ago one of my MOH duties was getting an invitation to Gwen Stefani’s people in the hopes she’d attend the reception. it was an L. A. wedding so the bride was hopeful.

Good luck that Tiger shows up to mooch the free liquor!

my cousin’s ex-MIL used to cook for chevy chase and so she knew some stars. they had one soap opera woman (no idea who, i don’t watch them) and my aunts were gaga over her. they even went to take pics with her. i love my aunts but it seemed really really weird and not very classy.

A coworker of mine hired the mascot from the Philly Eagles to come to thier reception for a short time (half an hour) - her husband loved it!

Just a quick note because I read through the comments on the linked glitteraria post -

The supposed sister of the groom and the maid of honor and a person who works at E magizine all commented that the couple weren’t actually mad at all…the quote was twisted.

I think having Oprah come into my wedding at a slow part, stay for 15 minutes and bring a gift (which you have to assume was expensive - plus you might be paid as well, depending on union rules)…Not such a bad thing. I agree with the person that said it would be a fun memory of your wedding for years!

(now if she came in during the first dance or the cake-cutting, that would just be rude!)

Yeah, deep into the reception, who would care? We had lame-ass dirty crashers and looking back Oprah or Tiger would have been a definite treat.

Hey, if you guys are golf fans and not just wanting to rub elbows with famous people, then why not slip an invite to the front desk for Mr. Woods and family? I think you really want to from your post. But Mr. E is *probaby* right. And we all know there’s no polite way to say “come late and say hi.”
