Dry Wedding

Be prepared for people to sneak in their own booze and get drunk in an ugly way...

I think you should change the venue, but at the end of the day, it's your wedding and you're gonna do what you want.

Lol Brenda no one sneaks booze into an LDS church. You obviously have never been to an LDS reception. It's much different than any other kind.

Brenda if someone sneaks it in obviously they aren't my friend. I know my friends and they know me. Hence why they are my wedding guests I'm not inviting strangers.

We're having a dry wedding for religious beliefs. Also, we're having an afternoon wedding and reception at the church, so alcohol wasn't an option.

I think what you are doing is fine!

I think you are fine. I am an atheist so I don't understand the whole religion thing, but it sounds like the people you are inviting are also religious or at least know you well enough to understand your beliefs and not have an issue with this.

Lmao@ changing her venue to provide alcohol for 10 people. That's ridiculous.

We are also doing a dry wedding at our ward after the Temple ceremony. Our guest list is 1/2 and 1/2 on LDS faith. Those who aren't LDS will be told after invites go out that it is a dry wedding, though they all pretty much know anyways as they know we are LDS and having it at a church.

I see nothing wrong with it.

I agree with Elphaba

Because of the location in your church I think it's perfectly acceptable to have a dry wedding. And your guests should respect your religion and the rules of the venue you have chosen.

One of my best friends had a Mormon wedding and it was dry. I didn't know until I got there but it didn't bother me since it was out of respect for their religious beliefs and not because they just didn't want to pay to provide alcohol for their guests.

Seriously, people are on here telling you to change your venue after you just stated you and your FH are LDS? Ridiculous. If people need to drink that bad have a drink before hand or after or seek treatment if that's too hard! And I'm a drinker!!

@chivy mind blowing ridiculousness

@Kelly T your comment is prob gonna be flagged but I so agree

I'm one to usually be against dry weddings, but I don't think some of you understand what type of wedding this is. Members of LDS do not condone alcohol, and this is going to take place in a Mormon church. Dry weddings do suck, but not when it's at a church and they don't drink. It's obviously not going to be a get crazy and party type of wedding. The 10 guests who do drink can go without a drink for a few hours. OP, don't change your plans because a few people who drink and are not Mormon tell you to find somewhere else. ETA: words.
