The May 2002 American bombing of a wedding party in Mukaradeeb, Iraq was more of a turkey shoot with air support:
"Among the dead were 27 members of the extended Rakat family, their wedding guests and even the band of musicians hired to play at the ceremony, among them Hussein al-Ali from Ramadi, one of the most popular singers in western Iraq."

It is hard to find a copy of Anand Gopal's July 2009 report from Garloch village in Laghman province Afghanistan, but not as hard as it is to find Garloch, which no longer exists after America bombed a wedding party there and the survivors abandoned what was left of their homes for refugee camps. https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Uprooting+an+Afghan+Village.-a0201994097 https://reliefweb.int/report/afghanistan/afghan-civilians-said-killed-us-led-air-raid
