How much did you drink at your own wedding?

MsM, on July 10, 2016 at 10:49 PM Posted in Planning 0 60

FH and I both take full advantage of the open bar at every wedding we've been to in the past. I mentioned to him recently that we obviously don't want to drink too much at our own wedding. I want to be able to remember it at the very least! So just curious, how did this go for everyone?

    I'm a partier, and had only 1 glass of wine at my wedding. You just won't have time...

    I had a couple, but once I started to feel a good buzz I switched to water. I just didn't want to be too drunk! I had a few more at the after-party Smiley smile

    I had a couple glasses of wine, but honestly, I was just so happy watching everyone have a good time, I didn't even think about drinking!

    I didn't have much because I was too busy talking to people! I had a glass of wine with dinner, a beer and a shot lol. It's much easier and more fun to get drunk as a brides maid or a guest than a bride or groom Smiley smile I didn't intentionally not drink much, it just happened

    I had 1 glass of wine, and I didn't even finish it. I don't think DH had anything.

    We went to a wedding a 2 years ago and the bride was hammered. She was dancing and drinking wine right out of the bottle. In almost every picture from the reception she has a drink or a wine bottle in her hand. I swore that won't be me, plus think of all the times you will have to pee. It's a pain to do in most wedding dresses and who wants to miss that much time of their reception.

    I had a couple mimosas before my wedding but honestly I was so anxious and nervous it did nothing to help calm my nerves. At my reception I had attendants filling my glass up with champagne but I honestly don't even think I got buzzed!

    I drank nothing but wine at our wedding, and I drank a lot of it. However, I was responsible enough to know when to cut myself off, which was towards the end of the reception. I knew I didn't want to wake up with a hangover the following morning, so after my 8th or 9th large glass, I switched to water completely.

    I kept trying to drink, but I kept getting pulled away.

    I think I attempted to drink about 3 margaritas and only managed to have about 2 sips... I was pretty bummed because I was looking forward to my drink! Haha!

    I am a big drinker. However, I don't want to be a drunk bride making a fool of herself. I am going to pace myself. I want to remember the night as much as possible!

    I drank a decent amount. The servers were great about getting me drinks and if I went to the bar, the bartenders would stop whatever they were doing to get me a drink lol. I wasn't out of control and I remember the entire night, but I was definitely pretty buzzed and danced the night away.
