Attended an out of town wedding with my wife for my brother's step daughter's wedding. When we approached the outdoor seating area where the ceremony was to be held, we were greeted by the step daughter's aunt, the wife's sister. She asked our name and when we said it, she recognized us as family of her sister's new husband. She consulted a seating chart she had for the six rows of chairs, split in the middle for bride and groom, a total of about 60 places. Not finding our names, she awkwardly showed us her chart and asked us if we saw our name on it. No, we did not. She then pointed to the last row on the groom's side and said, this row isn't assigned so you can sit here. Gee thanks. Is a seating chart for the ceremony a thing now?
