Question about alcohol

I have no problem with someone having a drink, there is no where in the Bible that forbids drinking(but it does say drunkenness is a sin) but I don't drink and neither does my FH or most of our families. We are having a morning wedding at our church, and the reception will be held at a venue that does not allow alcohol. So no, we will not be having alcohol at our wedding.

And no, that does not make us bad hosts.

Yeah, it kinda does Karie.

@celia which ww rule did I break?

I call bull on that, because I have been to many dry weddings, and I have never felt that way

@Kristen I didn't see your post but interested in knowing as well.

I've never had a drop of alcohol in my entire life. My FH drinks. There will be alcohol at my wedding.

But I do avoid those who justify drinking as an excuse for the slightest bit of stress. Poor coping skills tends to equal drama in my book.

I am going to just say if I was asked to a wedding where I had to travel more than an hour and there was no music, no dancing, no alcohol and was served dessert and punch I probably wouldn't go.

Do a Sunday brunch reception and only serve mimosas

Name calling.

Svetlana, then I guess that is your loss haha

People who have never had alcohol make me sad...think of all the deliciousness you're missing. So many amazing wines and beers out there, that pair so perfectly with food!!!

More for me.

@celia I got flagged for calling no one in particular ignorant. You called OP'S friends assholes. Did you flag yourself?

@jenny-I wasn't slandering her religion. I was asking an honest question. If it's against the whole entire families religion and there are members who she feels have alcohol problems is it because they drink?

You never see an LDS bride on here saying no alcohol for money, religious reasons and because someone has a problem with alcohol. You know there isn't going to be alcohol at that wedding. They don't need to explain it.

However it seems that some pull out the card when it seems to suit their purpose and cheap budget.

@MrsFallBride I have been on a medication since I was a young teenager where you absolutely can't drink alcohol with it. But thanks.

Please note it isn't about the alcohol for me. I am not going to break up the day to just eat a piece of cake and have coffee or punch there needs to be some type of finger food.

Karie, of course you don't have a problem with any dry weddings you've been too, YOU DON'T DRINK

Oh boy. Time to get the popcorn.

@MrsFallBride my judgment was toward people who use alcohol as an excuse to cope with the smallest tiny stressors. Not the normal adults with normal coping skills who drink and enjoy alcohol responsibly.

And a little bit judgemental of people who like a good cocktail.

Would they care if someone snuck a flask in. Lol
