a. Yes, one should take time to greet all of one's wedding guests. I had like 3 bites of dinner between constant rounds of socializing, and I had a couple elevator speeches prepared for FAQs. However.
b. I was also accosted every time I turned my back by guests who stalked me just for this ritual interaction, so, obligation handled, they could then dance and get drunk. Also.
c. Snubbing, ignoring, forgetting, missing, and breezing through are quite different gradations, and there's no context to figure out if she was avoiding the uncle, if it was purposeful, if he made any attempt to go to her, or if he just got silently pissed bc 'kids these days have no respect'.
d. I can only assume the relationship between this niece and uncle isn't very warm to begin with, because he certainly sounds like a real peach of a guy if he can't manage to exchange small talk with a bride at a reception and then makes it her fault.
