At my wedding (many years ago), we had a glass of champagne (for toasts) for each reception guest, and a bar where guests could buy their own drinks if they wanted. That worked out well.
@DizzyDesii Re: your "rings" update. Why are you blaming the groom? Shopping for rings should be a joint effort by both bride and groom. They go to their favorite jewelry store... the bride picks out the ring she wants, to match her engagement ring (groom buys it) and the groom picks out the ring he wants (bride buys it).
Im only blaming him because early in the show, they split wedding tasks. He told her to do everything else but let him handle the rings (specificay the wedding bands because she's already wearing the engagement from when he proposed). So yes he forgot the rings and they both forgot the marriage license. And the bride stalled walking down the aisle because she knows he's not right for her. Im watchinf an old ep by the way. 7 years later they divorced cause he just wanted her money and he robbed her before they divorced.
@DizzyDesii Too bad for the couple. Getting back to the wedding, I would refuse to pay an alcohol charge (whatever it is) if the reception location/caterer didn't provide any. Some restaurants will charge a reasonable corking fee if you bring your own wine (to encourage buying their wine), for example, but $3K is excessive.
I'd consider it not fun period because weddings are dull, and it would be way worse if there is alcohol because I hate being around intoxicated people.
Because the only reason romantic moments aren't dull is I get to have comfort, reassurance, affection, hugs, kisses, cuddles, or an orgasm.
A wedding doesn't allow for any of that, even if its my wedding! and if it were my wedding, I would still not go, because I would just feel super awkward that anyone but my SO is there while I'm making marital promises or kissing someone. I am not the public displays of affection type, and I have zero interest in being the center of attention.
Wedding music always sucks, the food is usually stiff I don't like and even when it is, I would feel awkward mooching food if the event isn't of any interest to me, and there is nothing fun to do, no video games, no where to sit down and draw, no tv to watch, I would just need to sit there and watch a couple stare at eachother and talk. which is SUPER BORING.
Oh and my reasonfor disliking honeymoons is more that I can't think of a vacation spot thats actually fun (thats not just a pricier, worse version of being home)
I don't really drink so I'd be fine. Definitely more fun with alcohol or other substances though, even if you aren't partaking the people watching is so much better
I was kinda kidding, but I would definitely be bummed to find out there's no alcoholic beverages. I wouldn't say I'm dependent on it, but if there's a fun occasion or event, it always makes it a little more fun! But since it's YOUR wedding and it seems like you have no need for it, by all means, don't include it! My brother is getting married and having no alcohol because he's a recovering alcoholic, so it's not abnormal, and the people you're inviting are there for you and your fiancé, not for the drinks haha. If they're that desperate, they can hit up the bars after!
No the little ones people can fit in their bag lol. On a more serious note sounds like the whole thing isn’t properly planned out they should have chosen a different place that is more within the budget. And the wedding ring situations is very odd to say the least. Welp let’s hope someone spikes whatever drink is there 🙏 especially if something happens to the rings at least give the bride a shot before the wedding.
@DizzyDesii We had a small wedding and had a party afterwards at my wife's house. We snuck out early. My friends told me afterwards that nobody missed us.
My goal is to marry in the area im going to have a honeymoon. Everyone else can just see thenselves out haha. And if not that, the goal is to be on a plane to my destination the same day i marry. I want a 2pm-4pm wedding (reception included)
I've been to weddings with no ( alcohol, and no meat). LOL it was hard to deal with but that is what you look forward too right? let's just say I was disappointed
I drink alcohol twice a year (on a birthday and on New Year) and it's always 2 glasses tops, so I don't care whether or not alcohol will be served on any (other) event.
What's the show? Yes it would be less fun. Drunk people are spontaneous and act a fool🤣. I don't get drunk so I need someone else to so I can watch and laugh
It used to be Cynthia cause i thought she was nice but she's fake nice so its kenya although kenya goes too far sometimes. kandi cry too much. Phaedra and porsha hoe too much but i like porsha sometimes. Nene is funny but awful for the most part. can't stand kim. Sheree is okay but really mean. I actually really preferred Claudia
Cynthia seemed boring too me maybe because she was so fake. Kandi get on my last nerves with that and her momma omgooosh 🤣. Her momma always messing up her relationships. I like Phaedra she a classy hoe. Porsha a man stealing hoe. sheree "who gone check me boo" 🤣🤣🤣. Sheree is gorgeous but she's so mean. Kenya is gorgeous too I like her but I couldn't figure out why people hated her so much. What was wrong with Kenya? Maybe I missed something.
I can't stand kandi mama and my grandma is literally her mom. And i think they just never got over kenya flirting with apollo. But tbh, porsha stealing people wholeass husbands and they still her friends. They just like to gang up and bully people. I watch Ultimate Girls Trip and kenya been funny acting with cynthia the whole first season. I dont think they’ll be friends much longer
Ultimate Girls trip comes on Tuesday nights on Bravo while Kandis show is Sunday nights like Porshas was. But Ultimate Girls trip is very boring. Kenya and that one lady who is mean to everyone are the only ones causing chaos but its got women from all the shows on it. And omg yes i used to love Apollo. I hate how he turned out
Gurl apollo been a bad boy. That's how Phaedra met him. She used to sneak to the projects when he was fresh out of prison to have sex with him. He told people all he had was an air mattress and that Phaedra would creep over at night. Hell I believe it. She like them high yellow hood boys

Yea they were charging her 3k for alcohol period regardless of if people brought or bought their own

I don't drink any alcohol, and I don't understand the need for it, so... I don't think I would have any problem with no alcohol.
I feel the same
In some parties, there is a concept of bringing your own alcohol. Would that be applicable in this case?
Read paragraph in bold at the top lol. Its part of the fine
Does BYOB mean "Bring Your Own Booze"?
Nah the lack of alcohol wouldn't bother me it'd probably be preferable considering my issues with it.
Yea stay away from it then
Mhmm.
I'd consider it not fun period because weddings are dull, and it would be way worse if there is alcohol because I hate being around intoxicated people.
How is a romantic moment dulll
Because the only reason romantic moments aren't dull is I get to have comfort, reassurance, affection, hugs, kisses, cuddles, or an orgasm.
A wedding doesn't allow for any of that, even if its my wedding! and if it were my wedding, I would still not go, because I would just feel super awkward that anyone but my SO is there while I'm making marital promises or kissing someone.

I'm the type to be like, here, sign this marriage license, now lets skip the wedding, skip the honeymoon, and then be married already.
Oh and my reasonfor disliking honeymoons is more that I can't think of a vacation spot thats actually fun (thats not just a pricier, worse version of being home)
I personally want a nice wedding but with only 10-40 guests. I want a fun honeymoon so Vegas, Australia or Orlando for me please.
I don't like gambling, or theme parks, or planes or boats..
I like arcades but my home is an arcade.
So you went back home now or are you still in NY?
I got a new home that has more space than the last one :3
and cheaper rent to boot
that happened quite a while ago though
Well im happy for you
Thanks, but yeah the only places I'd like to vacation to require boat or plane and its too scary._.
Unless you know of a zoo that has a hotel? I like animals.
I don't really drink so I'd be fine. Definitely more fun with alcohol or other substances though, even if you aren't partaking the people watching is so much better
I agree im not into it and can have fun without it
It'll still turn out good if the DJ is good and plays nice songs, catchy songs
Exactly
I wouldn't have a reception without alcohol. People would expect to have a few drinks. Nothing over the top but something
I dont think everyone expects it
The majority of people who would would at my reception would
So many woulds lol
If there's not an open bar, you will not find me at the wedding :)
Are you dependent on alcohol to be more fun?
I was kinda kidding, but I would definitely be bummed to find out there's no alcoholic beverages. I wouldn't say I'm dependent on it, but if there's a fun occasion or event, it always makes it a little more fun!
But since it's YOUR wedding and it seems like you have no need for it, by all means, don't include it! My brother is getting married and having no alcohol because he's a recovering alcoholic, so it's not abnormal, and the people you're inviting are there for you and your fiancé, not for the drinks haha. If they're that desperate, they can hit up the bars after!
Yes i kinda expected most to go to bars after
I would just ask everyone to bring there own bottle at that point
She did too but they said thats still included in the $3k as mentioned above
No the little ones people can fit in their bag lol. On a more serious note sounds like the whole thing isn’t properly planned out they should have chosen a different place that is more within the budget.

I have been to a couple of weddings that had no alcohol and they were not fun. I am not sure if having no booze was the cause.
RE:Update- Too Funny- We did the same thing.
Lol forreal! Were people mad they didn't see you much?
@DizzyDesii We had a small wedding and had a party afterwards at my wife's house. We snuck out early. My friends told me afterwards that nobody missed us.
Damn lmao
We stayed the first night in a local hotel and hit the road the next day.
My goal is to marry in the area im going to have a honeymoon. Everyone else can just see thenselves out haha. And if not that, the goal is to be on a plane to my destination the same day i marry. I want a 2pm-4pm wedding (reception included)
cool.
Like i just really dont care about the guests aside from making sure 4 are there
I invited my immediate family and 4 of my friends. It was about ten people , my wife invited about 40 people.
I don’t need any alcohol at all but consider myself the minority opinion… 🙄
Im in that minority too
I've been to weddings with no ( alcohol, and no meat). LOL it was hard to deal with but that is what you look forward too right? let's just say I was disappointed
No meat! Damn. I thought about a desserts only once upon a time but meat is hella important
imagine a wedding no meats.. and no alcohol SMH
I could survive. I dont drank
@Mark987 I thought you were Indian, bro.
@Jamie05rhs he is but he's prob not the stereotypical one
I drink alcohol twice a year (on a birthday and on New Year) and it's always 2 glasses tops, so I don't care whether or not alcohol will be served on any (other) event.
Even better
What's the show? Yes it would be less fun. Drunk people are spontaneous and act a fool🤣. I don't get drunk so I need someone else to so I can watch and laugh
Real HouseWives. And i just hate the drunken atmosphere. They reek and act dumb and play too much. I’d want to fight them.
Which real house wives is this? I like Lisa rinna from Beverly hills 💀 when she's drunk it's hilarious 😂. I dont like folks too drunk just tipsy
I can't stand lisa big lipped ass. Never liked her on Days of Our Lives either. Its RHoA
Lmfaooooo 🤣🤣 her lips iconic
Rhoa whose your fave? I love nene and how she threatened to poke Kim's eyes out like bloop bloop bloop😩🤣🤣
It used to be Cynthia cause i thought she was nice but she's fake nice so its kenya although kenya goes too far sometimes. kandi cry too much. Phaedra and porsha hoe too much but i like porsha sometimes. Nene is funny but awful for the most part. can't stand kim. Sheree is okay but really mean. I actually really preferred Claudia

What!!! When did girls trip start? Vh1? My grandma is just like Kandi momma too🤣. Apollo was fine as hell omg
Ultimate Girls trip comes on Tuesday nights on Bravo while Kandis show is Sunday nights like Porshas was. But Ultimate Girls trip is very boring. Kenya and that one lady who is mean to everyone are the only ones causing chaos but its got women from all the shows on it. And omg yes i used to love Apollo. I hate how he turned out

If I met all my friends at Alcoholics anonymous maybe
Yikes
Less funny, but more safe too. I guess it's a trade-off
True
Im a Muslim so yk my answer already... no alchohol im any way 💁🏽♂️
Oh no i didn't know muslims couldnt drink
Oh really... i thought yk already... but yea its haraam (prohibitted)
Prohibited* i just checked spellin in dictionary hahah
I told you i’m not Indian nor muslim lol so no i wasn't aware. Im not sure how that religion works
Ight ight i got you
At a wedding I expect to clebrate the love and promise of commitment, not the stupid state of being drunk.
Exactly
No, I'd prefer it in most cases, unless I'm in charge of the bar, because that's fun. Lol
