I just went to a wedding on Saturday and the groom was SOOOOO plastered it was not funny. I mean that was what the bucks night was for, right? The bride was quite upset about it. Good start! Hope that's not a sigh of things to come.

That's pathetic, I'd be pissed off too. Not a good sign

This guy was all sweaty and icky my friend didn't even like to kiss him at the reception!

Before our wedding my husband I agreed to drink to the toasts and that was all, we remember the day and behaved with dignity and grace!

Oh my, you'll be comforting her through some trying times

CalhounSq said:

via email she lives quite far away

charlottegelin said:

Nah, I hope this isn't what she's in for long term. He'll hear about it enough, maybe it'll shame him into acting better? Let's hope

His brother and 6 sisters were just as drunk as him they won't be remembering anything except what's on video!

Oh yeah! I've seen this happen when photographing weddings. It doesn't happen that often, usually they all get drunk at the reception.

It's apalling is what it is!
And I hope you dress up a bit to photographing the wedding! The guy doing the photos for this one looked like he had not washed his hair in 3 weeks and his shoes were all ripped apart.

I wear a suit and tie. I figure that, even though I'm there to do a job, I've been invited to a wedding. So I should look as though I'm going to one.

He must have needed to numb the pain.

That's disgusting

I hate that.

A younger cousin of mine just got married a couple of months back. My wife and I got all excited and bought to much wedding day gift. The wedding turned out to be an "open bar" for him her and all their drunkard friends. Our present didn't even get opened. It kinda sucked. We live and learn. We never did get a thank you not or nothing. hummmph, ain't that a mother.

*hic*

P.S. it was a shotgun wedding because the bride already had one in the oven.


Our gift was a bottle of dom, waterford crystal, champine flutes for tiffanies, and something else.

she was preggers and still getting drunk!!!

charlottegelin said:

I can't say I actually saw her having a drink. I am not sure if she was drinking or not, however I am sure almost everyone else was.

MickG said:

I was just buzzed enough to make a fool of myself on the dance floor...but I wouldn't say I was "drunk".

PurpleJedi said:

no that would be quite all right, you HAVE to dance!

Nope, not at all. And we did have an open bar.

BTW, the place where we held the reception normally required that an off-duty law enforcement officer be hired for events with alcohol. But since my father-in-law was himself a law enforcement officer, as were many of the guests (we even had an FBI agent present), they made an exception for us.

being drunk on your wedding day is just disrespectful to your spouse & guests.....period.

Got taken to the pub by a few mates before hand so had a couple....still sober...then lost my voice on the way to the ceremony and couldn't speak.....felt rough and was going down with a cold so didn't drink all night.....what a good boy i am eh???

thanks for your input, but I said: period.

I was sober a-hole!!!

Spats said:

you dont want to get married fine, but some people can handle responsibility, and for those that can and do your comment says more about you than them.

you even give sad losers a bad name.
