Can you enjoy yourself as a guest while shooting a wedding (for fun)?

My argument in favour of bringing a camera:
– I love photography.
– I’d love to be able to capture a special moment
for my friends as part of our wedding gift to them.
– I’m always dubious about how good wedding photographers are.
– Even if they are good, they aren’t emotionally-invested, can’t be
everywhere at once and you can never have too many pictures anyway.

My argument against bringing a camera:
– I love to drink. I don’t want to worry about spilling on my equipment.
– I’d like to dance. But I’d need like a 2 foot radius clearance for my lens.
– I could put it down. But I don’t want to worry about it getting stolen.
– People always think I’m the actual photographer.
They keep tapping me on the shoulder while I’m trying to enjoy myself.
Not to mention I get weird looks when I’m drinking “on the job”.

Previously, I’d usually opt to bring the camera.
But this time around, they’re really close friends of ours.
So there’s both a higher incentive to have fun.
And a higher incentive to capture those memories just perfectly.

Also, would you be annoyed if you were my date?
In regards to me bringing the camera, smart asses.
