Having a dry wedding?

OP, listen to mom.

*swig*

"Do you what you want!" needs to be retired. It doesn't mean anything and doesn't preclude bad, rude, or tacky decisions on your wedding day.

Your wedding is the part your get married at - the reception is for your guests.

Honestly I've been to dry weddings and we danced ALL night

OP, you're right. It is your WEDDING. However, the RECEPTION is to thank your guests for attending. You make it sound like your dry wedding is punishment for FH's family for "typically drinking too much and getting overly loud". Loud? Really, that's what you're worried about?

Have your dry wedding. You're not going to listen to us. Just know that #1, your FMIL is right; #2 you're being incredibly rude to your guests; & #3 guests will talk about your wedding behind your back for years to come.

@Brianna...have you tried Redd's? I like it much better than AO. ;-)

It is your wedding..and I'm one those people who don't find dry weddings/cash bars tacky, however, your FMIL seems to know the family well and is giving you fair warning that his family might not like it...

I haven't read previous posts because I know the community blows up about this so I don't know if you've mentioned anything..why not try for a brunch wedding or early afternoon wedding? Someone even mentioned a cake and punch reception? That might make it more acceptable to be dry. I wouldn't mind either way, but just be warned, you will probably get a lot of negativity on this topic.

Whatever you decide, it's your day!

EDIT: misspelling

Wow! I've been to three dry weddings and had a BLAST! Didn't know it was that serious. I'm entertaining the idea myself. My reception will be more like a nice sit down dinner. 2 hours tops. Eh....

Coke n rum nuff said ... No I don't even want to write properly at this point..

And "do what you want" means that we give the OP our advice and if she chooses not to follow it we back off and move on. You're not going to her wedding, it shouldn't bother you enough to keep commenting against her decision.

Have to have booze.

No kidding Mrs.K. They wouldn't listen to us anyways.

Cheers!

Cheers Grryffin! Ooo mikes! I want some!! Lol FH bought Bacardi Dragon berry run today and were actually out of coke now so it's been switched to Pepsi ... It's pretty good or were too far gone and can't be saved. Either option works for me lol. ETA : Rum not run lol F*$& this autocorrect !!!

This was my follow up after the vodka was gone! And don't blame autocorrect! Half of us are hammered right now! Lol

Gryffinbride how can you have that much sugar in the middle of the night? I would puke.

Lol, @Erin, I ate the rest of my birthday cake for dinner too. Guess I'm immortal lol

Lol it's autocorrect it's never the alcohol just saying.

His mom is right, alcohol needs to be served.

Have you guys had the Mike's Lite? I rarely find it these days, but I love it. Tastes the same as the regular, just less calories.

Ooo I'll have to look Kimi. We rarely buy cases of anything though .Usually FH likes the hard liquor stuff like vodka and rum mainly. Sometimes we change it up tequila or jäger too. Ha yea I have open bar for a reason ...
