So I am from a small town in the Bible Belt. Every wedding I’ve ever been to has been dry. I honestly didn’t realize alcohol was such a “wedding” thing until I start planning mine and saw discussions here.
For several reasons, we are leaning towards having a dry wedding. Some of them being that my dad is a recovering alcoholic, I don’t want sloppy drunk people causing a scene, it’s an extra expense, and my fiancé and I aren’t big drinkers.
So originally when we decided no alcohol it didn’t seem like a big deal at all. We don’t drink very often and it seemed like a total waste of our money. I have seen a ton of negative (and quite frankly rude) comments towards other brides on here about dry weddings. Things like “I wouldn’t waste my time going to a dry wedding” and “no one will have fun that’s so boring”... so they’ve gotten in my head a little.
Before you say it, I know it’s ultimately up to us and screw what everyone else says. But I would like to hear from some brides that had dry weddings in particular. Did any of you regret not serving alcohol? Was it just as fun without it? What were your reasons for going dry? What did you do to keep people entertained? I want everyone to have fun but is alcohol really necessary to do that?
