Is there a way to have a large crowd at our wedding without knowing or inviting them?

Get married and go to a public gathering where your marriage is announced. The crowd will cheer you on.

Post a facebook flash wedding mob request so people can show up on the church steps and wish you well.

After the ceremony and before your reception, stop off at a popular hotel bar/lounge, where you all will get plenty of attention and well wishes.

Get married on a ball field before a game.

ask each of the family members to bring at least five friends

Not sure how they'd know when and where to show up if they aren't invited. Plus, there would be a general lack of interest in a wedding for unknown people. Movies are pretend (aka fake) so I'd be inclined to just go with something small and impart my own "special" feel.

example of invitation

To Mr and Mrs A Troll. Pleas feel free to bring up to 3 other friends to our wedding.

You want to host a crowd of strangers at your wedding? Pay for their food, drinks, entertainment? You must have more money than sense.

Why would you want a crowd of strangers at your wedding? You do know that you would have to rent enough space and feed all of them right? You could try and get a permit and get married in the park. there should be lots of people there on a weekend

Get married during a football, basketball or baseball game

You can probably hire a bunch of strangers to join you. But you'd really have to question why you'd want a wedding full of strangers.

Well in the movies all those extras are paid to be there.

A large crowd really isn't necessarily that's quite impersonal if it's people you don't know. However, if you must then your ceremony needs to be somewhere public.
