From my experiences and friends' experiences, the experience of getting married is disorienting, overwhelming, full of distractions and unplanned interactions and events, and people are accosting you right and left.
It would be INCREDIBLY easy to start heading for their table, get pulled aside three times, and then get called over by the photographer or something.
(As someone with ADHD, the idea that I'd need to personally seek out every guest at a large wedding to avoid offending them gives me HIVES.)
This is why receiving lines were invented, if you want to go the super formal route.
And, yeah, both the father and his siblings sound like DELIGHTFUL people.
