A drink before the ceremony?

Christina, on October 28, 2015 at 4:00 PM Posted in Planning 1 71

Mimosas while getting ready? A shot to calm the nerves before the first look / walk down the aisle? A beer at the bar in the venue?

Almost all the 'getting ready' pictures I see have some glass of somethin' featured Smiley smile So honestly, who did it / plans to drink before their ceremony?

    Probably a mimosa before getting ready, but I'll be saving most of it for the reception.

    We planned to, but were running so late we never really had the chance. My MOH and I quickly downed a glass of champagne each before going down to the ceremony. I know the guys all did a shot of JD honey.

    I'm in Colorado.

    Aw, you can't tell it's too small. I pulled a joint out of my cleavage and DH said "You are so my wife."

    I thought I would, but we were running late, I got nervous about an hour before the ceremony (no idea why!), and I couldn't even get water or food down. I thought I'd have to watch what I drank before, during, and after, but I honestly had people trying to get me to eat/drink because I just couldn't get anything down! I think it was the excitement.

    Oddly, it took a couple days for my appetite to return! lol.

    So glad we have pro pics of that, right? He actually tried to take a picture of me rolling it and I told him to screw off (we were joking, he's a good guy, but yeah, no photos plz). My parents are SO proud.

    Not before the ceremony, and not even much at either of our receptions. I'm just not much of a drinker.

    I was classy with my champagne - my girls and I had a few...bottles.

    One of my bridesmen is a bartender and has offered to make us mixed cocktails while we all get ready. I'll be drinking something with bourbon in it.

    Our open bar starts before the ceremony does. FH takes drinking very seriously... I'd like to have all of us girls do a shot together (and get pictures, naturally), and I can only assume the boys will do the same.

    I'm covering the hair and makeup for my BMs, mom and step mom. So we will all be getting ready together (our venue is an 8 bedroom mansion) so we will all be drinking. Plus the ceremony won't start until 7:30pm so we got all day! SIP & DIP

    We got married in a loft above a bar, so me and the girls stopped and had a shot before we walked upstairs.

    My venue gives us champagne in the bridal suite, so you bet I'll be drinking it.
