You are dead and have gone to Hades. It is pretty boring. You cannot talk or move or see or sleep. All you can do is hear the constant self pitying/regretful wailing and gnashing of teeth of your fellow damned, as well as occasional mad laughter. You could really use a distraction. On your 1st year anniversary of being dead, you are allowed to choose 1 living entity on Earth to observe until they die.

Don’t fight the hypothetical. This question is about a wedding that you would otherwise want to go to. The people getting married are people you love and want to see married. If you never go to weddings under any circumstances this poll isn’t for you. So you are invited to a wedding. Let’s say it’s your nephew that you love and like and want to see get married. The wedding is in a convenient enough venue that you can go without issue. The bride and groom have made the dress code very clear in the invitations. They have a theme.
