Would you take a flask to a dry wedding?

So I want to merge two threads a bit, if you knew you were going to a dry wedding would you bring a flask?

    Yes. I attended one dry wedding and quite honestly, it was the worst wedding I ever had to attend. The Bride was a B**ch (she cried and complained the entire time), the bridesmaids were all wh0res (grinding up on anything with a dingdong) and the guests were very strange. My FH was in the wedding party and was seated at the head table - I was seated at a table full of strangers who looked very similar to the table from the movie The Wedding Singer. You know... that looser/love stinks table? yeah. It was bad.

    The groom was from FH's hometown - the bride was from the boondox of PA in the middle of nowhere. She had an interesting crowd ...

    Yes definitely Smiley smile && I would hit up a bar in between ceremony and reception if there is time ... we did that for all of my cousin's weddings on my mom's side of the family thus far since they all had very religious, dry weddings with only a sit down meal ... *yawn* boring!!

    I wouldn't. Mainly because I am not a big drinker anyway so it wouldn't really bother me if alcohol wasn't provided at the wedding. While I don't mind a drink now and then at events, I don't need alcohol to enjoy myself so it wouldn't be high on my priority list.

    If I didn't bring a flask I would probably go home early. That's what I did at the three dry weddings I have been to.

    Yup, I'd sure do it. My trusty Jack in a flask, give me a coke and I'm good to go!

    LOL @ Kimi...alcohol would have helped you cope with the love stinks table. At SIL's wedding, DH was added into the wedding party the day before (which meant we had to rush around and piece together a tux on a sunday morning) and I was seated away from him, My table was supposed to be filled with random people too but since she pissed off 80% of her "friends" no one came and I sat alone...awkward...

    Also, I agree, I would totally bring a flask, if not two.

    No because they wedding would still suck. I'd eat the food, have some cake, and get the heck out of there!

    Carrie brings up a very valid point.

    Yes! At the last dry wedding I attended, we stayed at the hotel where the wedding was held. I made a couple of stops back into the room for refills. I was sharing with folks at my table. =)

    No. I feel that would be disrespectful. I can certainly make it through a few hours without booze. If you just have to have a drink, just wait and go to a bar later.

    Back in the day I would, but I'm not a big drinker anymore and can get through a few hours at a gathering with out having a drink and can still have a great time.

    I'm not a flask person, but I would probably leave earlier and go out for a drink in the awesome attire I would have been wearing for said wedding. Smiley winking

    What is a dry wedding?

    I am running the risk of being booed here, but the answer should be no for two reasons. First, there is obviously a reason why it is a dry wedding and bringing in your own alcohol is a complete disregard for the bride and grooms wishes and is disrespectful. Second, brining in your own alcohol puts the hosts at risk of being fined by the reception venue and being held responsible for anything that would happen to you. Think about it, if you have alcohol at a reception, the venue becomes responsibly for any liabilities that may happen which is why most venues will require you to get a licensed bartender or use of theirs. Your hosts may not be able to afford this extra expense and therefore must have a dry wedding. If it is a dry wedding, most venues will put in the contract that anyone who brings in outside alcohol will be asked to leave. If you can't make it through one evening without drinking, you shouldn't go.
