I took a shot of rum. The wine ran out. But really, we HAD chilled wine....but after pouring all my bridesmaids/mom a glass, there was none left for me =].
I am planning to have a mimosa in the morning with my girls and then I am going to have shots for the entire bridal party right before the ceremony (we are doing pictures before hand).
My mom will be watching me like a hawk, because she has told me "You will not be a drunk bride!!!"
However, I plan on having at least a glass of champagne or a mimosa or two while getting ready. I get flushed really easily from drinking though so I don't want to overdo it before pictures. I was thinking of getting those little mini bottles of champagne for me and my girls for while we get ready :)
ditto MrsMartin... i am planning on having a mimosa while getting ready cuz that's all i'll be able to handle... then who knows for afterward, but i'm a light weight and won't be drinking a lot at the reception either!
Hahahaha, my mom says something about me not being drunk at my wedding every time I see her, I think it is something like "drunk isn't pretty" or some shite. Well, it's not like I'll have been drinking for 5 hrs, I just want a tottie to get things started.
I'll definately want one drink before the ceremony to take the edge off. Then I'll want one more before the grand entrance to the reception. I'm worried about having to pee with the huge, million-layer dress so I'm worried that drinking= peeing could be a pain. Oh well! We'll see..
heehee! We had mimosas, and then when the champagne ran out, baybreezes :) It's hard to feel "drunk" when you are so full of crazy wedding energy. I wouldn't worry about it, unless you get drunk off fumes like some girls. I'm not one of those girls.
There's a very big line between having a drink to take the edge off and being a wasted face!
I'm definately going to have a glass of wine or maybe even a shot of tequilla an hour before the wedding to relax my nerves. I'm hoping I or my FI do not over do it during the reception though! I want to enjoy every minute and not end up with a headache the next day!
Will definately need a slight buzz before walking down the isle - beer gives me the nicest happiest buzz, or maybe champaigne...
A round of shots for the ladies before we head down the isle sounds perfect to me - count me in on this idea!
We're doing b'fast for the BM's, mom, aunts, etc. hair & makeup at my parents house. My mom keeps saying how she wants a whole spread, "You have to eat a big breakfast beause you won't get to eat until much later" and I'm sure she'll have my dad on Mimosa & BloodyMary duty. I think my mom's more psyched to host breakfast than she is for the rest of the day! LOL
No shots allowed for me, but I'll have a mimosa or 2 depending on how my nervous stomach is.
FI's from a huge Irish fam and they jokingly call Jameson "Mother's Milk". It's tradition in their fam for the men to have a shot before any big event - it's actually on our photog. picture list that they capture it. LOL I'm not worried at all that he will be drunk. I know he won't. However, I might arm his brother with altoids so there's no Whiskey breath on the alter. :)
It would have to be Xanax for me; my health doesn't allow me to have a drink. Hopefully I will just be pleasantly "buzzed" with excitement on the day, and won't need to take it.
Just curious is your wedding a "church wedding"? If so I don't think it's such a good idea to show up tipsy if it's going to be in the sight of God, because you do want His blessing don't you? Even so if it's a secular wedding you don't want to trip over your dress or have the alcohol on your breath. I'm sure you'll do just fine with out the alcohol...
I had mimosas while getting ready in the morning but that was about it. I know my DH has a couple beers but turned down the shots offered to him thankfully :) We discussed beforehand that we didnt mind if each other drank but no shots or getting tipsy enough that wed forget the ceremony!
I'm planning on a mimosa while getting ready as well!
Also, I am definitely going to try to convince my Dad to have a shot with me before we walk down the aisle! I think it would be fun :) BUT, I definitely won't be anywhere near drunk!!
I am def going to have a drink of two before the walk down the isle! I will be a nervous wreck. I am pretty sure EVERY wedding I have ever been to the bride and groom have had a least one drink beofe their walk down the isle! One drink is not going to make you drunk and fall walking down the isle! You will be fine! Drink on sister!
Mimosas while getting ready and that's it.
When my best friend got married, she set aside enough time for her and her father to share a cocktail, just the two of them, before he walked her down the aisle and I thought it was really sweet.
I'll be drinking mimosas in the morning, and if I'm feeling really anxious, I'll have a quick glass of wine before I walk down the aisle. But my bridesmaids who really know me will have strict instructions to not let me get out of control! I want to be calm and relaxed, not giddy and hiccuping!
Shots it is! I like the idea of Jameson, because my FI will be getting ready with a pretty Irish group. I like the idea of having the same alcohol on our breath! Haha I lurve that idea!
And as far as God goes, I would argue that alcohol played a larger roll in bringing my FI and me together, and will be very appropriate at our ceremony.
I'll definitely have at least a glass of champagne beforehand. I think if you space it throughout the day, eat, and drink plenty of water you'll barely feel it more than a bit of relaxation.
The girls and I might have some margaritas or something before/during/after getting ready. If they don`t I am sure I will!
Obviously not going to get DRUNK, ya know, so I can get legally married and all, but for the nerves. :)

I am going to be a nervous emotional wreck for my day. I would like to have one drink with my girls after getting ready, before getting to the ceremony, but I want to be lucid for my man. What is the best tactic for this? Did you all have some champagne whist getting ready? I just want to chill for a bit and enjoy my friends, you know, and take the edge off? I guess I am looking for the perfect balance, and if anyone has achieved this, or has a plan to, I'm all ears!
