I've been to one Mormon wedding (it was outdoor) but it was similar to what you shared. Honestly you could have mistaken it for a weekend church gathering with snacks with how boring and tamed it was. Everyone sat. Everyone was stiff lipped and just being polite while sipping on a bottle of seltzer water.

I'm not Mormon so I asked other folks and they said it was a successful wedding.

Like wtf.

Yep the part where the ceremony is private makes it pretty awkward for non Mormons. After typing this I realize I did dj another one that was normal…no alcohol but there are a good amount of non religious people who choose a dry wedding because their family are drunkards and would ruin it.
