Oh it's not like they're upper-middle class people with big budgets to waste on those types of things now is it?

I would kick them all in the teeth given half a chance.
I remember when Carrie couldn't afford those shoes. I really felt her pain. I'm glad I saw it though, after the episode had finished, I made a few phone calls. Cashed in a few favours and before you knew it, women much like Carrie, Samantha and the other two slags were given the chance, no to just receive one pair of shoes but to get shoes for a whole life time.
Strangely enough though, they didn't appreciate the fishing net.
Like Old Rocker, I had a rehearsal for mine 30 years ago. You have to know what to do - although I wish now I'd got it wrong on a technicality or something.

You are Princess Anne and I claim my five pounds.

I don't believe this! It's not a bloody Shakespeare script. The only (minor) problems I've seen at weddings involved furl-ups with the long dresses and you can't sort that out at a rehearsal.

How many weddings have you had?
It's only the bride and groom, best man and maybe whoever gives away the bride and the bridesmaids. Not the whole bloody congregation.
I've had one wedding, been bridesmaid at some and a guest at many. Only the last one involved a rehearsal. All the others managed to turn up and get on with it without hassle. I think it's the modern tendency to make mountains out of molehills (grabs zimmer and shakes it at the sky).

Is it possible that most of them did have a rehearsal, but just didn't make you go to it?
What's to rehearse, exactly? Standing still and repeating what the person asks you to repeat? Tricky.
Depending on the religion /type of civil ceremony, the order in which stuff happens and where people stand, what people have to say in their answers, and when people have to give the rings and so on are all completely different.
So unless you've been to a ton of weddings, and taken notes at them, you won't know what the hell to do. Adding in what I said before that you'll be shitting yourself with nerves, I'd say it would be pretty necessary to have a run through!

Groom there, bride led down, stands to Grooms left. Best man is to grooms right, hands over ring when told to; bride and groom repeat stuff. Easy! Sure the details could be dealt with in five minutes before the bride arrives!
Though I went to an Indian wedding once, that was a whole different kettle of odd fish., That might take a bit of a run through.
I was watching something the other day and found out Jehovah's Witnesses can't even enter a (non JW) church to attend someone else's wedding. Weird.
And they don't have birthdays.
Got to be one of the least fun religions.
