Go for the party, stay for the people, leave with the memories. Choice Hotels is here to help you make the trip.

1. The ceremony has enough humans assembled to found a nation of people.

2. Everyone agrees this couple is amazing and perfect as you shower them in rice and confetti.

3. The reception feels like a fairy-tale-grade magical ball.

4. The people you sit beside are your best friend's best friends and then you become best friends almost immediately and it's pretty magical.

5. The food is delicious and bountiful and you proceed to feast like the kings of old.

6. You inevitably tear up when Dad makes a toast about the bride.

7. And then the bride and groom cut into a cake that's the size of a small building.

8. There's only time for a quick hug with the bride and groom before they're off to the next table.

9. But in that brief exchange, you manage to say everything that matters.

10. You share a serious heart-to-heart with an old person who gives you amazing life advice.

11. You're introduced to literally 10,000 people.

12. The line dances are longer than the Mississippi.

13. You find a long-lost soul mate after both of you recite every single word to "Int'l Players Anthem."

14. And you reconnect with an old friend who you'd sort of forgotten that you really love.

15. You end up in a million pictures with your arms around people you didn't know before that night.

16. And you get so caught up in the magic of it all that you begin to question your life choices.

17. As the night progresses, the adults get really loose...

...as does the dance floor.

18. You unknowingly flirt with someone's younger sibling.

19. You ~accidentally photobomb~ a cute picture of the bride.

20. You and your new wedding friends make last minute plans to keep the party going.

21. Somebody besides the bride and groom finds something to consummate.
