I’ve been to have been

"It’s funny that, as heterosexual weddings get more fluid, all the same-sex weddings I’ve been to have been quite keen to follow convention, albeit with some twists." (The Guardian.)

Is "all the same-sex weddings I’ve been to" a noun phrase and the subject of the clause all the same-sex weddings I’ve been to have been quite keen to follow convention?

Anonymous Is "all the same-*** weddings I’ve been to" a noun phrase and the subject of the clause all the same-*** weddings I’ve been to have been quite keen to follow convention? Yes. However, you might say that the distant 'that' (after 'funny') and the 'albeit' phrase are also part of the clause, but that's a minor point.
