I'll excuse my friend who married a mormon and they had a lame, quick cash bar because the rehearsal dinner was very solid.

This was also MY Mother's b-day...I try to keep things simple.

I never considered a cash bar though the venue gave it as an option. My problem was deciding on a one lump sum open bar vs a per drink count. When I considered that my daughter and son in law were both college graduates with tons of friends who made up a majority of the 175, I went with one lump sum all u. An drink and did my share to get my moneys worth.



Dear lord you had 175 to I’m guessing at least your second wedding? frick that.

And I’ve seen some bad shite at open bar weddings. Chris Weaver got into a fistfight at his own reception when a groomsman said he fricked Bambi (the bride) the night before and they both were hammered. The marriage lasted about a year and she got the trailer.

I’ve dealt with worse. I was in a wedding which required me to fly 1200 miles. I paid for my flight, my hotel room and for more than my portion of the bachelor party because other guys in the wedding party couldn’t afford it.

The flight and hotel I expected. The extra for the bachelor party didn’t bother me too much either. However, I was required to actually set up the reception with tables, chairs, and decorations. I was required to go pick stuff up for the reception and all. I forgot to mention this was all in the course of 3 three days and the first day I was so sick I should have been in the hospital.

Of course I had to pay for all the other stuff a groomsman does. They didn’t have much alcohol at the party and the “dj” for the wedding screwed up the first song twice.

The whole thing was done so cheap but by the end of it I was a little bitter. I didn’t realize I was signing up to work a wedding and reception when I became a groomsman. I never got a thank you from any of the families.

I have never been to a reception with a full cash bar...but a few swap over to cash bar once the tab hits a pre-set spending limit.

It kind of irked me at the time, but I can see why someone would do that if they don't want to break the bank or also if some of the attendees can't handle their alcohol very well.

I had to fly to Denver for one and pay for all that entails like you and they asked me to pick up grandma from the nursing home and bring to the church. A little apprehensive at first but grandma got in the car, pulled a bottle of hot damn cinnamon schnapps from her purse, we both had a long pull and off we went. I even danced with her and several years later returned for her funeral. Funny old broad and she got hammered and didn’t give a shite about the bar. She had her own.

My wife is Baptist and her parents were not going to pay a dime for alcohol. No problem. I covered it myself. Full bar for 400 people. I was happy to do it. Would have been ashamed to do otherwise.

There is absolutely zero excuse for a cash bar at a wedding. If you are Catholic, you should be excommunicated
