So I went to a dry wedding

As promised here is the follow up. Before I get called an alcoholic bad friend the first thing I'm going say is there was no religious reason, no one in recovery, the bride and groom both drink, the reason this was dry was bc she was being cheap! I went to the ceremony it was beautiful 45 min long....

As promised here is the follow up. Before I get called an alcoholic bad friend the first thing I'm going say is there was no religious reason, no one in recovery, the bride and groom both drink, the reason this was dry was bc she was being cheap! I went to the ceremony it was beautiful 45 min long. The reception didn't start for another hour and half so we were all just standing around bc they weren't letting people in the reception room. The brides uncle came prepared with a cooler in his trunk, so we basically tailgated until security came. But the guard was kind enough to point us to a bar around the corner. That's were all the guest hung out. Cue to the reception. We walk in and its decorated beautifully but the only catch was there were no regular tables or seats only bistro style tall tables and stools. Why?! bc there was no dinner! It was a "cocktail" style reception with no cocktails! There was only finger foods. Let me tell you how dry this wedding was continued in comments...

    Oh my lanta...I am speechless...in the words of the great Stephanie Tanner, "HOW RUDE" I remember your original post about wanting to back out. Glad you went, and reported back. Hopefully this helps some other brides about what NOT to do.. Can we get a sticky on this, or will we need to bump this constantly? Smiley smile

    Thanks for a follow up to this cluster f*ck of a wedding. Her friends and family will talk about her wedding for years; unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

    @Sangele, you beat me to asking if the bride's name was Emily! Oh, well; seems great minds think alike Smiley smile

    And this wedding sounds awful. What the hell was so important that she needed to be so damn stingy?

    I can't even drink alcohol and I'd be pissed if my only option was tap water. And appetizers at a meal time? No thanks... I'd leave and get some real food.

    Her attitude was really bad no need to treat people poorly in the process. I don't drink so. I could care less about alcohol but dang tap water at least give them lemonade lol and I'm with Kristina those high bar chairs are uncomfortable as I have a medical condition as well. Welp hope she's not on wedding wire lol
