we had to budget but splurged with everything else big time. [/quote]

So you splurged on everything except the one thing guests actually look forward to at weddings?  What in the world were you thinking?[/quote]

In what world is "free alcohol" the one thing guests look forward to at weddings?  You do realize you can get drunk for a pretty low price quite literally any time you want, correct?[/quote]

alcoholics central around here [/quote]

I know one family hosting a wedding who had a complete blowout (the bad kind) because one of the parents is an alcoholic.  The bride was in tears saying she did not want that parent drunk at her wedding. The alcoholic parent was insisting (you guessed it) on an open bar, hard liquor included, and the rest of the family was against it, because of the alcoholism.  It was not pretty. Those of you saying it is "cheap" to not have open bar do not know the whole story, and are being terrible guests, which is the worst offense of all. [/quote]

Yes, it is cheap. The alcoholic will grudgingly pay for the alcohol. The only way around it is a dry wedding. But don't pretend that you're doing anything to prevent the blowout just by making people pay for it when it's still available.[/quote]

In this case, the issue was that the alcoholic wanted open bar, and the rest of the family did not (mostly because of the alcoholic and the alcoholic's side's antics). [/quote]
