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?

    Princess, a dry wedding is one where there is no alcohol options at all.

    I don't disagree with you on the legal aspects Jennifer, if I were to not take one though I would be out of there as soon as etiquette would allow me!

    Meh, maybe. Depends on the type of wedding it is, and the reason it's dry. Also it would depend on whether a flask fit in my purse, and whether or not a bigger purse would match my outfit. Smiley smile

    No way, and I certainly hope no one would bring one to mine. We are not having a dry wedding but my venue is EXTREMELY strict on bringing outside, alcoholic beverages. If they catch anyone in my bridal party and/or guests drinking anything alcoholic that is not served at my venue, everything is being shutdown.

    No drinking is allowed at my reception because it is at a fellowship hall. I drink occasionally, but if it's at a church, they need to be respectful, and if I caught anyone with a flask with alcohol in it, i would ask them to leave

    I have to agree with Jennifer K. and I can have fun even without drinks.

    You don't "need" to be respectful, you should be respectful, but just because it's a church doesn't mean you NEED to be respectful.

    @Glenn S. Thank you and I think I could be OK with no drinking.

    Well we don't believe in it. even ceremony sites we talked to before has said no alcohol...

    It's God's house, so they should be respectful to that and the wishes of the bride and groom

    I wouldn't, mostly because I am not really a big drinker. I have no problem with dry weddings, but I have recently been to one and it was the shortest wedding I've been to. The entire reception lasted all of 2.5 hours, everybody just left.

    I should've elaborated ... if the reception hall is going to be held at a church of course I wouldn't bring a flask!

    The reception i drank from a flask was at a Firehouse. There were no huge rules or regulations on drinking. The bride and groom actually had alcohol ... for the wedding party. The bartenders apparently were told that if they saw guests with alcohol the bartender wouldnt be paid. LAME.

    Yes I would, or I would just leave early and go elsewhere. Weddings without alchohol are not entertaining... they usually dont last very long either.

    I don't know anyone who would have one, nor have I officiated at one.....ever......

    Kimi, that is awful.

    I probably wouldn't go. I'd go to the ceremony and then leave.

    SUPER LAME.

    I guess I am just a big old drunk- pass me another beer Glenn!

    If it was at a church, no I wouldn't drink. Ironically the 3 dry weddings I have been to were all back when I didn't really drink much. No one who went to those weddings drank much. They still ended as soon as the food was done.
