When my parents were married, only one relative was in attendance at the wedding. My father's grandmother.

That was pretty much the same for when my parents were sealed. I think my mother's grandma was there. That was it.

It is all about expectations. For instance: I had a a non-member confide in me he was pretty pissed off that the church would not allow him to see his daughter married.
I told him, it isn't the church that is stopping you, it is your daughter. She has chosen to exclude you from the cerimony. Your expectation is that your daughter is going to do things that satisfy you. She is getting married now. If you not being able to see the ceremony is the biggest thing she chooses over you in the future now she is married, you will be lucky. I then asked him if he believed in the LDS teachings. He said no. I said then what is it you have really missed out on. I would be a lot more worried if she wouldn't let you have an open bar at the reception. |

All through the session she kept telling my ex, well now he thinks he really has you locked up because you have done this in the Temple. |

A person ought to be endowed to witness the sealing ceremony. It is not similar to baptism in that regard, although you'll note unworthy/non-members are not permitted to view baptisms for the dead, which in form are nearly identical to live baptisms.
