dry wedding

[WineGoddess]

Come to think of it the last dry wedding I attended was my own. I got eloped. He wanted to stay undrunk the entire weekend before we did the deed. 3:00 a.m. Monday I wanted to go down stairs to have a shot of whiskey and a cigarette and think about what I was doing. He stopped me and said you're not going anywhere. So I married him the next morning.

Last undrunk fucking decision I make when faced with a stupid love sick puppy saying "marry me" "marry me" "marry me."

The marriage lasted two months. No joke. No lie.

Well, I managed it, but it was eclipsed by a mad Friday in town which resulted in a 5am finish. It was a struggle to sit through the ceremony as I was kind of suffering - that was the worst part.

Anyway, I ended up driving to the reception, so was able to pack 1 flask and keep refilling. The Goslings 151 was a good companion :-) I also had some vodka for a bit of variety. Despite some peoples expections on here, the wedding reception was actually quite good - they had a hog roast and a decent celidh band. It was quite easy to keep popping to the toilet to top up my coke with Goslings.

I'm a fairly functional drunk, so I managed to keep from doing anything particularly embarressing (boring I know!) although at one point I did say "you're not a man!" to some woman and my dancing ability peaked after about the 2nd flask and went downhill from there. I accidentally trod on the brides dress few times... And some little kid tripped over me, but that was his fault.

There was a moment of suprise when I saw bottles of lager at the bar, but noticed those tiny words 'alcohol free' on the label...

I thought it was a bit risky to drive home so as the reception was out in the country I just pulled into a layby and had a sleep for a few hours.

So, it wasn't the greatest but I was satisfied overall.

There was a beautiful moment around 10pm when I was just sitting there, listening to the music, nice and full and warm, my mind all fuzzy and I thought 'yep, I'm nicely toasted'...

[Surreal]

Beautiful. We knew you had it in ya. Well done my man, well done.

Sounds good, fulfilled your own needs without alienating yourself from any friends/family.

I'd have ended up wasted, because i always do once i start.

Out-fucking-standing my good man! You should write a book!

My wedding reception was dry.
There was no place available in the area that we could get that would allow us to have booze on site.
So my buddy Andy's Trunk and my friend Shelly's built in bar in her truck were very popular.

I saw a pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But tobacco in a tin whistle sure I never saw before

I came home one night,
Drunk as I could be,
There was a mule sittin' in the stall,
Where my mule's supposed to be

I said, "Wake up, baby,
Explain yoself to me,
Whassat mule doin' in the stall,
Where my mule's supposed to be?"

She said, "You old fool, you silly fool,
Better open up yo' eyes and see,
That aint nuthin' but a milk-cow,
My daddy sent to me."

Well I been all around the world,
And the Gulf of Mexico
But a saddle on a milk-cow,
I aint never seen before.

goddamn do i hate the dry wedding, barmitzvah, or baptism. you can always smuggle booze in the one place they can't search, in your gullet.

i like the trunk full of beer and at least two hippers. one of whisky, one of something clear and high proofed.

[Mayhem]

I'm going to a wedding tonight that will be far from dry. I'll be partaking of the open bar (are there any more beautiful words?) for the first hour or so, as I am the driver. Ah well, at least the missus will be liquored up.

[kowalski]

to be sitting there drunk when everyone elese is tight assed undrunk is one of the greatest things. Goslings man - made my day.

Free Hookers?

[Hardcore Stig]

Well done my good man, living proof that no problem can't be overcome with good old drunken logic.

I tend to be searched for flasks by the brides parents these days after playing the wedding ceremony drinking game at the back of my mates wedding a few years back. Still test tube cocktails provide a handy alternative storage device.

My wedding reception was anything but dry. Dry weddings should be banned.

Of course with free bar with some rum (for show) but mainly Absolut Vodka. Also plenty of beer and some wine and cider.

Everyone was very happy AND beautifully drunk, so was I, I don't remember the latter part of the evening which is a bit of a shame but I recall getting afterwards, the bath and sex. Yupp, could perform.

Afterwards we got praise from many that attended, "now that was a party", "no holding back on the booze there!" and the funniest shit of all "that was not moonshine shit, it was the real deal booze".

What no one knew was that we had about 5-7 absolut vodka bottle which was constantly refilled from 5 liter plastig kegs. Yupp, moonshine but the best quality taste buds ever tasted, all thanks to my ex-brother-in-law.

I should get divorced and marry again so I can redo that party... wouldn't pick the same bitch tho
