Dry Wedding

You can have your opinion, and that's fine.

Some of us are just strongly of the opinion that dry weddings are lame and not fun, and we have a hunch many of your guests will agree with us, whether they tell you or not.

Can you please realize that this thread took a really sour turn the second you started getting all weird about the fact that 2 people kind of disagreed with you? This poor girl came here looking for advice and you made the thread all about you lol.

Maybe this has been asked but how is a dry venue allowing a champagne toast? Either you have a licence to serve or not. I would speak to them more to see if you can get them to budge for wine and beer.

Bla, you're seriously taking everything everything as some kind of attack. If you feel that a whole bunch of people are attacking you, you feel talked down to, etc, the common denominator in that is how you feel. So perhaps, you're the type who takes everything as a slight and you should work on your perspective of the situation.

It's not talking down to you, it's an observation. And you don't. Because for 1, you wouldn't have posted 5 posts in a row. And 2, you wouldn't take everyone's disagreement as a personal attack against your feefees.

If you are getting this upset, its time to step away from the forum to calm down.

If you think I'm one of those people of this generation who gets offended at everything, well you're wrong. I'm just defending my opinion is all. I personally know some people who I can hardly say anything to without them getting offended in some way. And another thing I'm not getting is you're telling me to stop posting, but some of you haven't stopped. Ever think that once you stop then maybe I'll stop?

Oh hey, is it Wednesday?

Ah, so you're one of those.

So I guess as long as we give you the attention to the temper tantrum, you'll keep going until you have the last word, right? That's what you're saying?

I personally know some people who I can hardly say anything to without them getting offended in some way.

Oh you do, do you? Do they consistently say that they were attacked and should be able to defend themselves?

This is the last thing I'm posting, but stop trying to rile up the posters. Stop hijacking threads. Try to listen to our advice and be polite. Obviously you haven't lurked long enough to see what its like when we do stop being polite.

I'll leave this here

I agree with FMTex. If they are allowing champagne then they aren't a dry venue. I appreciate the fact that this venue means something to your FH, but I do agree that a dry wedding doesn't make sense for a couple that makes their own alcohol. I would talk to the owners again to see if they would agree to letting you put a few bottles of wine on each table to serve with dinner, if they won't go for unlimited beer and wine. That way your guests will at least have wine with dinner. I also agree a milkshake bar or italian sodas or mocktail bar would be nice to offer as an alternative to liquor. I think that if you just have the champagne toast, people will bring flasks. If I knew a couple made their own alcohol, I would find it weird if they had just a champagne toast. Since the venue means so much, I would honestly just keep talking to the owners and see what they can do. I would also explain all the points brought up here about people who want to drink finding a way and about how if they want to offer themselves as a wedding venue, that offering a mostly dry venue will cost them business.

Attack? It's a F@#%@^#ing wedding forum, okay? Not a war zone.

Decaf.

ROTFLMAO!!!! I feel we need play-by-play announcers at this point...........And I told my finance that I wouldn't get any use out of these message boards.......I am having so much fun!

Poor Hannah~ I hope you can get some good advice out of this thread and it hasn't confused you even more.

I don't drink at all but am serving alcohol.......just realized that there is a compromise for everything. Take a step back and talk to your FH. After all is said and done his opinion stands above all else.

Good Luck and let us know what you decide

"If you think I'm one of those people of this generation who gets offended at everything, well you're wrong."

The million angry comments seem to be a tad contradictory.

Holy crap I haven't had my coffee yet and I JUST CAN'T.

OK I haven't posted in awhile and you're still talking about me? Seems you're the one who can't leave it alone.

If you're not offended then step back. Quit coming back to spew your hate. If you were just "defending your opinion" than you wouldn't freak out.

Reminds me of a 2yr old that has to have the last word. Pathetic.

Happy Wednesday.
