You do know that it’s not the 1960’s anymore right?
Nothing wrong with people sticking to old traditions if they got the finances to support it and are more than willing to comply.

I won’t invite someone to my house for dinner without serving them alcohol......a dry wedding reception would never be an option

Every dry reception I've been to...I don't really remember details about tbh. All I remember is that there was no alcohol and that I left much sooner than I would have other wedding receptions.
At least serve beer and wine at your reception or do that with a cash bar for those that don't want beer/wine. Both MUCH better than no alcohol whatsoever.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a wedding reception without alcohol

That was true 50 years ago. These days it’s ususlly an equal contribution of funds from the bride and groom’s parents, and the bride and groom themselves.

I've been to a couple. All of them the reception was at the same church the wedding was at.

My question is, if you had an expensive wedding, say $35k+, are you happy you spent that money on your wedding or do you now regret it?
I'm the dad who came up with the money and in the end, I'm not happy I spent it.

Former coworker of mine her parents spoil her rotten. They paid for her wedding a few years ago. I would guess they spent 40-50K on her wedding. She got married in an actual castle out here in AZ.
She got married in November of that year. Her husband had moved out of the house by January. She found out she was pregnant right after he moved out.
I bet her dad was pissed
I noticed on fb she got remarried...and it was a MUCH smaller, lowkey wedding this time. Hopefully cause her parents refused to pay this time.

That is not an equality that I can get behind.

I don’t know anyone that contributed to their own wedding

Simpler the ceremony, the less stressful and easier it is on everyone.

I had an expensive wedding that I didn't pay anything for. It was great. My friends who had an even more expensive wedding than I did (they had a cigar roller at their reception) and who paid for it more or less themselves thought it was fantastic.
Until 1 year later and they realized they could've spent half and had just as great a time and had a bigger down payment for a house.

Wedding? No
Her dress? Nope
Reception? Oh yeah! And everyone else remembers it too. 18 years later, people still tell us how fun our reception was.

I spent $25k on my wedding 12 years ago. Wish I would have spent that money on anti-insane pills for my now ex wife.

You don’t know many Baptists then.

You would be sober and trust me you would remember it.
Often the ones that are alcohol free are the ones that need it the most.
