beccaelizabethat conventions I have seen
very new babies
... being passed round and introduced to the rituals of their people
assorted birthday celebrations
... including 18, 21, 30, 40 and similar milestones
people getting engaged
... up on stage, in front of a thousand people. courage! (she could have / said no)
people getting married
... okay, I didn't personally see this due to being asleep somewhere, but I think it was on the programme
and no actual funerals
... but a very interesting wake
(fandom is a way of life)
I think people who mock Star Trek weddings and the rest have maybe missed that, while Star Trek is fictional, the wedding is real, and so are all the people at it.
