We plan to have a few drinks but have made a deal not to get drunk until after the speeches/important stuff is over. Neither of us are really the type to get "wasted" anyway.
I think I probably had the equivalent of 1 glass of champagne all night. I was so nervous about having to pee in my dress that I barely drank anything.
DH drank a bit more, but at most was just buzzed.
Once we got to our room though, we split the bottle of champagne my parents had put in our room for us.
I think my husband and I both had one drink each. Plus our champagne toast. We were way too busy to drink!
We really like to drink, and so do all of our friends, so we are going to have limited alcohol at the reception (just beer and wine), but after the reception we are going to walk down a block to the strip of bars and continue partying! I still won't get schwasted because I will have to be at the family and OOT guest brunch the next day, but I am determined to have as much fun as possible!
We had a couple glasses of wine each, but were nowhere near drunk. Not even tipsy. However, we've never been the type to get wasted anyway, so we knew we wouldn't be at our wedding. Honestly, I just wanted water! A lot of friends and family members got drunk though. Grandma walked out with an ice bucket on her head and DH's Great Aunt was trying to hook up with one of our friends...Lol, it was an amazing night and I was glad I was sober to experience it all!
We drank very moderately during the reception, especially early in the night when our grandparents were still there. Towards the end of the reception we drank more, but did our "real" drinking afterwards at a bar all of our friends went to together. I wouldn't say either of us tried to get wasted or anything, just had a good time hanging out with friends we don't get to see that often.
I didn't get wasted but I probably had a little more wine than I needed. Personally, I found that it hit me more quickly because I really hadn't slept and I didn't eat alot so keep that in mind. I had to cut myself off at the salon in the morning too because the champagne to calm my nerves was going down to well :-)
FI and I aren't big drinkers to begin with... but we will definitely have a couple of drinks at our reception :).
My husband had one or two cocktails, I didn't have any. I was too fucking tired.
We will definitely drink, but also definitely not get wasted! I absolutely do not want to get wasted for several reasons (1) I want to remember every moment! (2) I don't want to do anything stupid or spill anything on my dress (3) I want to be able to make sweet sweet wedding night love and not pass out once we go up to our rooms!
He will probably have a few, but I will not. I get red even from a couple sips of any alcohol, and don't want my photographs to reflect that =) I'm not a big drinker anyways, so no big deal.
We both drank quite a bit during the whole reception, but at the same time we were both running around and dancing so much that we didn't get drunk. I must have had like 6 glasses of champagne, but I never had to pee and didn't feel tipsy at all because I was constantly moving around for 5 hours!
Yes, my FI and I are planning on drinking at our wedding. We will wait to start the real drinking until the dancing portion of the evening, and then after the reception my mom is planning on having an after party in her suites. We (and all our friends and family) definitely like to party!
DH had 3 drinks and I had none. I'm also one what gets really flushed and red when I drink so I wanted to avoid that!
We are big drinkers. But we both agree that our wedding is not the place to get hammered. I don't want to do anything really embarrassing or get in any alcohol-fueled arguements with anyone with my whole family there. Plus, I want to be able to do a little somethin' somethin' when we get back to the room and not just pass out. It'll be hard not to get drunk with all our friends and all that alcohol around though!
My best friend is also engaged and several times when we've talked about wedding planning she's made the comment "Well, I'm gonna be shitfaced drunk, so I probably won't remember it anyway..." talking about her own wedding. I think that's so terrible! I drink very little and I'd be surprised if I drank more than a few sips on my own wedding day, if we decide to have alcohol there at all. I don't enjoy the feeling of being buzzed if I have things to do, as I'll have to do on my wedding day, so I would never purposely get drunk. And my FI doesn't drink AT ALL, so I know he wouldn't get drunk.
@mittens111211: Bahh! I do that too! I had a few glasses of wine at a friend's house last weekend and her FI was making fun of me for being red and constantly touching my face because it was so hot. I hate it.
Yep! We had a blast. Neither one of us got drunk but drinks were certainly flowing. Also, I don't think people who end up drunk always "plan" to get that way.
I don't usually drink. The last time I got drunk was at my Stagette and I wanted to die the next morning, so I haven't drank since then. My husband was pretty drunk and my younger sister (who was suppose to drive us home after) ended up drinking way too much so guess who got to drive us home...This girl!!! I drove my sister's car in my wedding gown, with my new husband by my side. It was kind of fun actually, we got a lot of looks haha.
Champagne is my drink of choice, so I'm sure I will have a few glasses. (We are ordering a couple of special bottles of GOOD champagne for our table. No $40 house champagne for me thankyouverymuch.) FI will probably have a bloody mary or too also (we are doing brunch). We are honeymooning at our wedding location, so I see no reason not to enjoy a few cocktails. Knowing us, we'll sneak upstairs for a nap after the reception and then go out to a dinner alone that night. haha
We each had a couple of drinks. But honestly, neither of us even felt like drinking by the time we got to the reception. It was so hot on our wedding day (and we were both sick) that all we really wanted was water. I think in total I had 2 glasses of champagne in the limo during the day between the ceremony and the reception, 1 glass of champagne with dinner, and a beer later on in the night.
We drank a good bit that night, but didn't feel drunk at all until the night was over and we were driving to the hotel from the reception. By the time we met my mom in the lobby to pick my sister up (who drove us to the hotel), we were pretty drunk
DH doesn't drink (can't stand the taste of alcohol), but I had a glass of champagne during cocktail hour and about three glasses of wine with dinner, because it was delicious wine. I had a slight buzz by the time we hit the dance floor, but that was it. I wouldn't have wanted any more than that; getting wasted was fun in university but I'm over it now.
Neither of us drink - I think I've seen my FI have a half a dozen beers in the four years we've been together, and I can't drink for medical reasons. We'll be sober.
@misspeanut: Same here! I drank wine the entire night, and trust me people made sure my glass was never empty - I even had a shot with one of the tables, but I barely got tipsy and I didn't have to use the bathroom until 3 am! Must have been all that dancing :)
On a regular night out, I am a big drinker, lol. But on my wedding day, I was way too busy to drink like I wanted. People were constantly taking pictures with us and wanting to talk...there was no time to get too wild. Too bad...I was really looking forward to taking advantage of that open bar:)
If we do, only a couple maybe. There will be so much going on that day and we plan on leaving for our honeymoon the next day, that it would be stupid to get drunk and feel sick. Who wants to feel a huge hangover on the first day of their honeymoon? Not me! :)
I had 1 gass of wine the whole evening, and only had a couple glasses of water at dinner. We were just too busy socializing and dancing to get buzzed. I thought for sure I'd have a few drinks, but no, just didnt happen. Also, I didn't really have more than a couple of bites of dinner, I think all of the excitement and high emotions zapped my appetite!
I am sticking to whisky, apart from one galss of wine with the meal. Wine goes straight to my head as it's just like drinking juice - I love the taste! So I will only be drinking whisky as I can make one last 2 hours. I don't want to be battered!
We each had a glass of champagne with the toasts and then finally got around to having a beer towards the end of the night, that was it. We're not huge drinkers anyway but we knew we wanted to be completely sober for our wedding. Everyone says it goes by so quickly and we didn't want to lose any of those memories due to drinking. And actually when the day came, we were initially so hot, we just wanted water, and then we were having so much fun on the dance floor with all our guests, it was just too much of a pain to drink anything.
I used my champagne flute throughout the night to drink wine and had a beer with a cousin but despite constantly drinking, I never really felt like Iw as drunk. I think I was just too excited and focused on the day to get drunk. DH was a bit more drunk and slightly hung over hte next morning but I didn't realize it until the end of the night.
I'm not old enough to drink now but I also don't have the urge to drink to be honest. At our wedding, I'll be of age to drink, but I can't say that I will or won't. I don't like how it smells so I'm not sure if I'd be able to get past that to taste any, haha. FI on the otherhand really enjoys drinking and is planning on getting a good buzz going, haha.
We both drank, but neither of us were drunk.
I had a glass of champagne in my hand for most of the night--but I think I took like 3 sips. People kept giving me glasses, I'd take a sip, then put it down and lose it. I was way too distracted to drink. I took a couple shots with my brother and my dad tho, lol.
My husband did the same, a few drinks, but nothing crazy. Our guests on the other hand...wastey face. Each and every one of them. I had no idea until I saw some guest photos later on lol.

I have been reading a lot of posts about drinking at a wedding. I find it crazy how many brides say that they got "wasted" at their reception. I mean i figured we would have a couple drinks through out the night but I honestly never planned on getting drunk at my wedding (or FI either!).
Thoughts on this....
