The first time I used it was in a reception of 160+ people in a very 'upmarket/expensive/snooty' reception.I only knew 4 people in the entire place - the Groom (obviously), the bride, and the groom's parents. To say I was bricking the whole thing would be an understatement. The bride's father had spent nigh on high £25,000 on the whole do, so I could have - in one fatal gag - ruined the entire day.
Thankfully, it went swimmingly, and afterwards many people came up to me, bought me a drink and said that gag had lightened the whole day for them, and it was the best laugh they'd had in ages, which was great to hear :)
Even the bride's father at the end of the night came up and congratulated me, but I'll agree, it was a 'balls of steel' moment to decide to go with it.

Ball of steel indeed!Weddings are weird things, all the emotions are amplified, but there is a strange sense of "anything goes" at times as well.
But I think trying to secong guess the potential mood / reaction of a wedding reception is nigh on impossible.

that's very much the case with the mood/reaction :) best just to go what you feel comfortable withthe wedding in question above was absurd.
Chimney Sweeps for luck, releasing Doves, Cadillac for the Groom and Best man (with 50's throwback driver) 2 rolls royce's for the bride and bridesmaids. It wasn't comfortable at all, far too formal and rigid for me.
And to think they all laughed at a gag about shagging like rabbits.
