Wedding Crashers

Party infiltrators, formally

Wedding Crashers is a 2005 American comedy film starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn as two divorce mediators who infiltrate wedding receptions to meet women.

The title has since become a general term for uninvited guests at weddings: Security was hired to keep out wedding crashers.

To crash a wedding is to attend without an invitation, typically for free food, drinks, or socializing.
