This is actually due to a special interactions for so called "impatient wedding guests". The tuning seems to be intentional as sometimes there aren't enough seats for the guests at a venue to attend the wedding. However, if one wanted to make it less frequent, I'd suggest to lover the StaticCommodity for it to 4 or maybe even 1. It's currently set to 128, which is the same value as for guests sitting down to watch the ceremony.
<I c="StaticCommodity" i="scommodity" m="statistics.static_commodity" n="StaticCommodity_ImpatientWeddingGuest" s="16429">
<T n="ad_data">1</T>
</I>
Another possible solution would be to adjust the priority of sitting down by changing the tuning
277123 wedding_Attend_Custom_State_Wedding_TakeSeats
to something like
<L n="_static_commodities">
<U>
<T n="desire">16</T>
<T n="static_commodity">16421<!--StaticCommodity_AttendWedding--></T>
</U>
</L>
On a more general note, the static commodities for almost all wedding activities are set too low which results in Sims not responding to the new immediate interactions most of the time.
I've getting very good results with raising all of the following ones to 256. (They need to be higher than the commodity to attend the wedding which is currently set to 128.)
280181 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_WeddingCouple_Recessional
280171 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_WeddingCouple_Processional
280175 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_WeddingCouple_DanceGatherDanceFloor
280174 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_WeddingCouple_DanceGather
280189 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_VowsWatch
280187 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_ToastGather
280398 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_SpecialRole_Processional
280172 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_Officiant_CeremonyGather
280173 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_HonorAttendant_CeremonyGather
280618 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_Guest_Recessional
280186 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_DanceGatherDanceFloor
280185 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_DanceGather
280188 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_Dance
280184 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_CakeGather
280183 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_CakeEat
280388 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_Bouquet
282137 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_BG_OfficiantSpeech
282628 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_BG_OfficiantGather_Ceremony
282532 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_BG_CakeGather
This one I set to 64 because it's rather a fallback one and should be lower:
280180 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_SitDown
This on I set to 8 because it's even lower in priority:
280182 staticCommodity_Custom_State_Wedding_Mingle
Looks like much but is actually an really easy task as there's just one value to be adjusted in each tuning file.
