Love this idea…too bad the only wedding I’m going to this summer was my own. I think I’ll ask some friends to rate it, just out of curiosity!

I enjoyed reading about your CROME system… but I’d prefer to never have to use it in the first place.

I would gladly give the bride and groom not only the gift I bought for them… but also enough money for him to buy a ladder so they can elope.

Nobody would EVER hurt my feelings by not inviting me to their wedding. EVER.

I’m not anti-social, I just find the VAST majority of weddings a waste of a complete day. I could care less what color the bride picked out for the bridesmaids outfits… the only type of pew marker I would be interested in would be perhaps shrunken heads… and don’t even get me started on the eternal wait while they get pictures done.

[...] Here at BryanAllain.com we don’t revel in the sanctity of a marriage ceremony. No way. We get nerdy and cold, rating weddings on a scale of 1 to 50 like a gymnastics routine. We call this the CROME Wedding Rating System. You can read more about it here. [...]

Wow, I’m glad this is here.
I’m going to best friend’s wedding very soon, and I think this will keep me (and my table, assuming i like them) very entertained.
Also, I’m a wedding photographer, and you’ve now given me the key to staying awake during all those ceremonies.

Question though: suppose I used to date, maybe be engaged to the groom. Does that mean that the score in Others goes up or down? I want to make sure this is as accurate as possible.

I would have to think too hard right now to rate my wedding but I will go out on a limb and say that Freimuth’s wedding would rate the highest for me on the CROME Rating System. Great time with great friends. We have a wedding in Santa Barbara on Saturday so that could always change. Unlikely though, since we’ll have all three kids with us.

@nate – your comment made me feel like i was 61. thanks! haha.

@geof – this is factually correct. some day when my blog replaces CNN.com and Twitter in popularity and someone asks me who my first readers were, I will tell them that for years Geof Morris read this blog when no one else did. Heck, even if the last year my readership has grown by leaps and bounds, but through it all, you’ve been there. all joking aside, it’s actually pretty cool…so thanks.

Great system – unfortunately, it comes a little late for me. At 31 I’m past the “my friends are constantly getting married stage” (However, if I ever do get married, I am confident that I will be able to pull off that elusive 50) I’m into the “my friends are constantly having babies” stage. So I’m wondering if you have a system for rating baby showers – or better yet, the babies themselves. It would be nice for me to have a way to rank my friend’s kids so I know which one is the best. That way I know who to agree to baby-sit for and whose calls I should stop taking.

I’m SO excited for this! I’m on my way to 1 of the 14 weddings I’ve been invited to this year, can’t wait to implement the CROME rating system to get me through…
