Wedding Receptions with no alcohol

Is nothing sacred anymore? This nation is going to straight hell.
Went to a couple. It was awful.
If you can't afford a keg of beer for your guests, you spent too much money somewhere else.

How close are you with the couple? I'd stay until just after dinner and then leave.
Do you really have to have booze to have a good time? If true then you have issues.
There can't be a wedding without wine, read your Bible you heathen.
Legal question: If there was an unfortunate accident involving alcohol with someone leaving the reception, would the wedding party be liable? Back to the original question, if I was close to the bride and groom or either of their parents I would stay. Casual acquaintance and I'm gone very early. PS I don't drink.
It's not rocket science. Hang out for awhile, eat some cake, flirt with the bridesmaids ( or groomsmen if you prefer), give your best wishes to the happy couple and then sneak out the back door, get in your car and head to the nearest brewpub or bar.
Go get your card back and deduct the value of alcohol you planned on consuming from their gift.
Wedding reception without alcohol is legal? Wait, I've been to one. Fortunately a biker bar was just down the street. That was over 20 years ago, I would have thought laws kept up with the times.
Pic of wife? Bride? bridesmaids? There are rules, man.
Well when ur single and know approximately nobody at the wedding reception outside of your immediate family......it helps.
Alcohol is the quintessential ice breaker.
I just kept my eye on the score of the Cubs game and realized I could be stuck watching that crap instead.
On a related note, whats the cheapest way to make sure you dont run out of alcohol?
I plan on having an open bar at mine, and I don't want alcohol running out. I think cans/bottles would be better then kegs, or am I wrong on that one? Always seems kegs run out, and you always got some jackwagon pouring foam all night.

Provide kegs, if they are heavy drinkers I'd estimate probably two for every 100 at the reception. Of course, less if you also provide wine for the non-beer drinkers. If you really want to do it cheaply, have a cash bar for mixed drinks or high end stuff. If you are dead set on an open bar than you just need to come to terms with the fact it's going to cost you a lot of money (make sure they use cheap booze, but set some good stuff aside for you and the wedding party).
I believe they could be held liable, so it's strongly recommended that if you serve alcohol at an "offsite" location (park, backyard, or other place that doesn't have a liquor license), you get an umbrella policy that will protect you added to homeowners/renters policy.
Strangest wedding I've ever been to was up in coal country PA probably 16 years ago. It was a co-worker's wedding. Quaker-Ukranian Catholic wedding, with one friend of the bride still clearly openly pining for her. Then, the reception was costume/Halloween-themed, but completely dry. We stayed through dinner and made the necessary appearances, then a group of us dashed off to a karaoke bar.
That's why I always have a cooler. You never know what the reception will be like or how long it will go.
Always have a bottle of Captain and at least a 18 pack of beer in either the room or the back of the SUV. I can always sneak out and drink a beer outside the SUV.
I understand the bride and groom not wanting to drink, but think about your guests. They are the people who have to suffer through the wedding and reception.

Wedding Receptions are the biggest cost for a wedding.
It usually involves the rental of a hotel ballroom with a
buffet dinner, live band, free drinks, and dancing. Most
couples spare no expense on their reception. in some
cases the father of the bride will pay for it as a gesture
of good will to family and friends.

No kidding. It's sad so many people can't seem to go a couple of hours without drinking.
On the strange wedding topic. I attended a reception in St. Paul, Minnesota about 15 years ago where the wedding party and a swingers convention shared a common area at the hotel.
Sort of like you with guns and neck beards.
I remember the last wedding I went to, the groom was hammered by like 11:00. He asked me to smoke weed with him, and then do cocaine...
I wasn't comfortable

I don't own a single gun but yes I have a beard. As soon as I hear of a no beards allowed wedding reception then ok.
So your wife was close enough with the bride to be a bridesmaid and you didn't have any idea there wouldn't be alcohol? Seems odd. As stated above it would depend on how close I was with the bride/groom but I like to have a couple a beers when I'm attending a gathering regardless if vows are said.
I think you're on to something here. Kegs run out of alcohol and cans/bottles don't. Keg are by far the most cost effective way to deliver the alcohol. It would also be a nice idea to make a garbage can or two full of jungle juice with fruit and cheap alcohol.
Practical and classy. I would assume this goes for any other event as well.
That could have been a lot of fun. Probably your best chance for scoring a ménage à three.
