To be honest, I'm slammed at work. Slammed. As such, I'm kind of on a wedding overload. When I sit down at the computer to write, I can't think of a single thing. Last week Amieable had asked me a question and I'm going to take that one on for today, but since I'm all about blogosphere bandwagons, I'm opening the comments on this post for all of your wedding questions. So have at me. And today, let's take a looksy at Amie's question:
Bebe - How do you feel about the bride or bridegroom being drunk at the reception? I think it is a definite "NO" but are there exceptions? Do you see members of the "happy couple" getting sloshed at their receptions?
I'm in the definite no camp. There is nothing, and I repeat nothing, more trashy than a drunk bride. At the end of the day, regardless of all of my usual snarky commentary, a totally sloshed bride is simply sad. She looks so pretty and elegant for the day, and wow, there's nothing that ruins that happy image like being totally sloshed. It's extremely disappointing, on so many levels. It's a day of celebrating and enjoying, and you can't do that if you don't remember it. I'm all for having fun, but being trashed to the point of not being able to speak in clear sentences to give regards to your guests, or at the very worst, vomiting, well, ugh.
The groom being trashed is still sad, but it's not at quite the same level of the bride being trashed.
The worst is when only one member of the happy couple gets trashed though, because the other half is inevitably pissed. And when one half of the happy couple is visibly pissed on their wedding night, well, that doesn't lead anywhere good.
And yes, people will argue that getting totally hammered is the best and only way to have fun. I simply do not agree with that, in just the same way that I don't agree with having a Disney themed wedding.
