Q: I want to have drinks at the reception but it’s not really in my budget. Is it ok to write byob [bring your own bottle] on the invites? How should I write it?

A: Ummmm no. Can we say tackhead? Are you having a wedding reception or a frat party?

There’s nothing wrong with having a reception sans alcohol. If you don’t want alcohol then don’t have alcohol. There’s no reason to make a big deal of it, people will find out when they get there.

I was browsing some of the posts on a Facebook group and came across some of the most obnoxious comments I’ve ever read in my life. Though I was disgusted, I wasn’t surprised because I realized long ago that weddings are becoming more and more about the “party” and less about the actual marriage.

Here are some of the comments from these stupid fine college students regarding open bars:

“There is no point. Period. End of story. If you are gonna have a 50,000 dollar wedding but not sping [sic] for the extra 5 grand for an open bar, you are a sorry cheap person.”

“Nothing says “failed marriage” like “dry wedding.” A true American tragedy.”

“I think we should all vow to never go to a dry wedding reception. Strength in numbers. America will catch on. Perhaps our slogan can be: “We drink to ensure your marriage lasts” or something. Single tear.”

Idiots.

It wasn’t a total disappointment; at least someone had sense: “My moral take on it is…. can you not have fun without alcohol? Can’t celebrate your friends’ happiness without it? Most importantly, *why* is anyone *obligated* to buy you booze?”

It’s something about a person who steals that really makes me want to choke the mess out of them. I just don’t understand how someone can feel so self-entitled as to go and take something that is not theirs, and not bat an eye….bastards.

Toledo, Ohio- You’ve seen them in the movies, but some Lucas County newlyweds say a real life wedding crasher isn’t so funny, reports ONN affiliate WTOL’s Lisa Rantala. They say they were scammed by a stranger trying to steal their gifts — on their their wedding night. Investigators say the woman got all dressed up, hit three weddings the same night and stole nearly $500 in cash and gift cards. When she got caught, she told the wedding parties she was sorry. She told investigators it was all a dare. [SOURCE: Ohio News Now ]
