If 5 percent of your guests are not showing up just because of booze, you are inviting way too many people. I'm sick of getting wedding invites from people I have not spoken to in ten years. Cut down your list people (bride). That's why my wife and I got married in Europe. We only invited about 12 of our closest friends and family. Instead of spending $30,000 feeding the wife of some guy I kind of know from work, we were able to pay for our guests flights and accommodations.
While a groomsmen at a friends wedding I had a 5th of Makers Mark in my inside coat pocket and when everyone bowed their heads to pray, I bowed and swigged.
When told a friends wedding was going to be dry, I tried to find a liquor store, but had to settle for sneaking a six pack of Sam Adams in through my inside coat pockets. I had to walk very slow and deliberate as to not "jingle". Good thing everyone was drinking Malta, b/c it resembles beer.
At another wedding, I just pulled the good ole 6-7 mini bottles of rum. The groom was pissed, not that I brought them, but didn't save him 2-3 because his new wife was already bothering the s**t out of him.
My cousin is an evangelical nutjob. His wedding was dry, too. Also the reverend spoke more about Jesus than about the couple and after "I now pronounce you man and wife" was the first time they'd ever kissed.
It was f**king weird. I'm surprised I was invited.
Weddings are stupid anyway. Way overpriced. I'd rather have a big BBQ somewhere instead of a scripted, stuffy run of the mill reception with a lame ass DJ and crappy food.
I was in the wedding party at one of these fiascos. The bride gave me a flask as a gift, so I went to the store and filled it for what I knew would be a totally torturous event. When the brides mother caught me she went ape s**t. Apparently being 24 years old doesn't mean I am allowed to drink alcohol in her presents.
She escorted me to the door and told me to take my flask to my car and enjoy the wedding with a "sense of God".
WTF does that even mean!
Heh. My wife's dad requested no alcohol at our wedding, and I was happy to oblige. And it's like this. If you got invited it's because you made an impact on our lives and we want you to be there to support our relationship. If you want to come just for the booze, you might as well stay home.
I grew up in a pretty conservative household, Church of Christ to be exact, and I always hated weddings. Not until recently, did I realize why. There is never alcohol at these events, rarely dancing, and you are lucky if it is even properly catered( more than a f**king cake). Casspa you are right on the money. The main reason to go to a wedding is the reception and party following the nuptial. Moral of the story stay clear of Church of Christ weddings, because they suck.

A wedding without booze sounds like a true abomination to me.

Maybe she was mad because you were too drunk to realize you were sitting on all the wedding gifts.

This is why I always carry a flask with me to these types of events.... including my own wedding. (Don't tell my wife)

There was so much booze at my wedding I forgot which girl I married.

If it's a dry wedding, why bother inviting people?

Isn't the point of weddings for bridesmaids to get liquored up and horny at the prospect of commitment?

My cousin married a 7th Day Adventist and there was no booze at the reception. Lamest wedding ever.

But don't you want the people who is there to support your relationship to really have a good time instead of pretending to have a good time?
