Say Yes To The Mess: Is It Ever A Nice Day For A Dry Wedding? Apparently people in AA think I’m the worst. From a commenter: “Neither my husband or I drink (former alcoholics) and if we’d had a full-blown wedding (opted for private ceremony), we would absolutely not have paid for anyone’s alcohol. I would really hope that if we had done that, our friends and family would have been supportive. I do think that the people I choose to surround myself with are more interesting than that and have more going on in their lives than drinking. Its quite sad that you feel no one in your life would attend your major life event without you essentially paying them too. That’s a pretty clear cut line in seeing how shallow those relationships are. You didn’t write about wanting to treat your family and friends—you wrote that you owe it to people.”
