What about weddings or funerals?
I also have attended those as well. I personally have no problem attending those, I just don't take communion. And Lutheran churches including the ELCA, I believe, don't offer communion at weddings, funerals, or confirmation.

The last ELCA funeral I went to didn’t offer communion, neither did any of the LCMS WEDDINGS I attended.

Confirmation without a Communion service? I haven't seen that even here in Southeast Ohio where many Lutheran churches still practice 1st Sunday monthly communion.
Maybe there was a communion service it’s been awhile. I didn’t partake. I know yhey don’t have them for weddings or funerals

I had an LCMS wedding and we did not have communion. I think, perhaps, the Gottesdienst crowd would welcome performing a funeral mass but most of the LCMS no.
You were married in the LCMS or you officiated a LCMS wedding?
