Drinks before the ceremony?

Rachel, on February 8, 2020 at 8:56 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 3
Hey everyone! So we are getting ready on the day of the wedding at our beautiful reception venue, then heading over to church for the ceremony.


Before getting married in church, they tell you that they will dismiss you if you have been drinking beforehand. In every wedding I have been to, we always have a mimosa in the morning and it's no big deal. My husband is not a heavy drinker, but I'm nervous that when his friends are around that they may all be a bad influence on each other 😅
I KNOW the girls will not get out of hand, and the guys probably won't either but I don't want to worry about it on the day of. Right now we asked the venue to not give drink service, but if someone asks for a beer it's okay. And my husband knows how I feel about it. His father will also be in the room getting ready and I'll ask him to keep an eye out 🕵️
Do you think it's okay to leave it that way, or should I restrict them more? What has your experience been?

    I think you should trust your FH to not let his friends do something that would ruin your wedding. It’s not your job to “restrict” them.

    I️ would discuss it with everyone. Then trust that they will keep it cool. We’re not getting married at a church and I️ didn't even think about people being drunk at the ceremony.. lol. Much to think of!

    Hey there, Rachel. I think as long as you make it clear to everyone on the church's policy on alcohol consumption, this is the most you can do.

    They're all adults and responsible for their own actions. I'm afraid of all the things you can control on your wedding day, other people is not one of those things. Trust that they won't want to be the reason the day is ruined and will be respectful to you, your FS's and the church's wishes Smiley smile
