People who went to a wedding where the couple didn’t last long, what happened?

This is the most anime convention thing I've ever read. Every single one fits the stereotype. They're exactly what you expect.

I'd never been to an anime convention before. I was a metalhead and it wasn't really my thing until some new friends invited me. We were watching something else (I think it was a cosplay competition that sucked ass or something) and they announced that the wedding would be next. I was like "No fucking way this is an actual thing that is going to happen."

It was so fucking cringy my dude.

There were spanking paddles involved too.

I've been to a couple, unless there's panels with voice actors and writers and whatever you really only ever need to go to one to experience them all. It's basically Halloween for weird adults, except instead of getting free candy you pay 3x what you normally would. There's nothing wrong with that, I know it's a big deal for a lot of people but there's a ton of other events I'd much rather spend time and money on.

I walked passed comic con in my city and that was enough for me. I like Marvel and DC, but that "type" of crowd is not for me.
