The Wrath of Sober Wedding Guests
A pretty funny article that I just read on CNN over lunch. Some of these quotes are pretty darn hiliarious! Oh the good 'ol days of wedding planning...and it seems even our wedding attending days are coming to an end soon, too.
This one just might be the most shocking/harsh and funny to me:
k
You cheap b*****s. Pay for your guests' f'n drinks. What the h*ll is the point of going to a wedding? No one gives a crap besides you and/or your parents.

Re: The Wrath of Sober Wedding Guests
Interesting. It's been a loooong time since I've thought about anything wedding related
We were one of the couples who scaled back in other areas so that we could offer an open bar. It's just the way things are done back east, and we knew that our OOT guests would be accustomed to that. Same with the wedding we're going to this weekend in RI. That's just how they all are.
I think I would be irritated if I got to a wedding and found a complete cash bar. At least do beer and wine for the peeps, or do nothing at all.

My parents are teetotalers, and when I married my ex, they agreed to foot the bill on one condition: that no alcohol be served at the reception. At all. I figured it was no big deal. Boy, was I wrong. In less than two hours, the entire reception hall was empty. No booze = people leave in a hurry, no matter how good the food is. Had I known, we'd have paid for the wedding ourselves. (But in retrospect, maybe it's a good thing we didn't, since we divorced anyway.)
No one who came seemed to mind, although several of DH's co-workers flat out told him they weren't coming because we weren't serving alcohol.
Honestly, my reaction to that is that if people weren't willing to share that special day with us because they couldn't get alcohol, well then, I don't think they're the people I want there to share that day with us anyway.
