1. I would prefer he not get drunk, but having something to drink wouldn't bother me.
2. it's a big party, we both drank, danced, laughed, had an absolutely wonderful time
3. That wouldn't have bothered me actually. It's the getting drunk the night before that's infuriating. Stumbling home at 4 am, not getting enough sleep, looking like a zombie for the pictures? Yeah. I'd rather he had drank the night of with the rest of us
4. I think it's ok if he has a few drinks but I don't want him drunk and making a fool out of himself or me for that matter. As long as it's in moderation, I don't think it's a problem. However, if he has announced that he plans on getting smashed then I would talk to him. Good luck!
5. My husband didnt have time to get drunk but he did have a few drinks ;o) I guess I would have felt pretty lousy if he got himself absolutely plastered before the ceremony & reception was over, considering the occasion, but in saying that, some guys tend to do that, not to block out the day but thats just how some guys celebrate...in excess!!
6. lol we've been talking about that lately. we said we would both not drink. now we're saying if we want to have a couple drinks it's okay. how do you know when to stop, though? i guess i'll just have to wait and see. i don't want him to be super drunk.
7. I would be really really angry if my husband did, but I have never seen him drunk in all the time I have known him, so it wouldn't be a sign that he was celebrating it would be a sign that something was very very wrong if he actually drank that much.
8. that's not going 2 be allowed
9. We both have agreed to not drink....we want to be sober to enjoy our entire special day. We don't even drink normally, so to us, it was the perfect and right choice. BUT...if my husband got drunk on our wedding night, he'd probably regret it for I wouldn't let him forget it! I'd be pretty upset! Lots of money, time and planning goes into that day!
10. I hope he doesn't get smashed, I know he won't during the whole thing because we are having a church wedding and reception and we can't even have one glass of champagne or anything there Not even dancing which I was upset at first but oh well and it's free so it's definitely in our budget. that would be terrible if he was fall down drunk or something...I would be so embarrassed.
11. Well, he can enjoy himself and have a couple but I surely wouldn't want him to be totally plastered - the sex you waited for all day will be shot to he-- and back and that would totally piss me off. Of course, if he can handle his booze, it could be a good thing, my husband was always a sweet drunk and so loving, AWWWW!!! So good luck and enjoy!! Have a great time.
12. There is a difference between drinking and getting smashed. Most people know when to stop. I have no problem with my fiance drinking but I've never seen him so drunk that he couldn't do anything so that's not a concern.
13. My fiance' doesn't drink, but if he did, I would prefer that he not get drunk on our wedding night. That would be disrespectful.
14. so long as he does it with me.. I am good. I just want him sober when he says i do and then after that...Lets Party!!
15. I have set that rule for both of us. We can drink, but we are not allowed to get drunk. There will be too much socializing to be wasted. There's too many photos, meet and greet, and "dance with me too" for that.
16. It's a tricky question. I said all along: "No. Absolutely not. NO SHOTS!" And then I found out, about a month afterward, that my husband and the best man had a few nice tequilas before the ceremony to "calm the nerves." Not that I could tell. The rule of thumb, I would think, is that neither you nor your fiance should make it a point to whoop it up at your reception. Not only will you miss out on the event, or even miss out on the wedding night, but you may not shine such a grand light to your guests. However, that shouldn't stop you from enjoying wine with dinner or a few cocktail reception drinks, or a glass of champagne that lasts and lasts through all of those toasts, if that's what you choose. It's up to the two of you, and your responsibility for boundaries. Sit down and set some ground rules for what the reception is going be like. Grandparents and family friends don't like drunk bride and grooms. A wedding with mostly college friends almost encourages it. If you two like to imbibe, do so, with limits. Slow down the drinking. Eat! Enjoy. There is plenty of time after the reception to indulge. I would guess that most brides, like myself on that day, don't want to see their husband smashed in front of guests or passed out on the expensive Bridal Suite bed. Talk about it. My husband and I wound up staying sober and coherent, while partaking in the bar, and then spent time together drinking champagne in the hotel bar and our room later. But, we did it together. And, being on the same page made our wedding night that much more enjoyable. For both of us. Congratulations and Best Wishes!
17. That is fine I will be drinking too but I will expect him to perform
18. I am going to be with my husband for the rest of my life. If he chooses to drink (even to the point of needing to be poured into bed) on one night of our married life together (no matter which night it is) then that's his choice and I won't love him or trust him less. Now he'd better not be hung over for our wedding day! I don't need him to be miserable and cranky while we take our vows.
19. The night of, he can drink. We are celebrating, after all! But my fiance is a pretty bad drunk. He doesn't get embarassing or anything, he just falls asleep, and I definitely don't want him passed out the wedding night! He is not allowed, however, to get forgot-how-to-walk drunk the night before. I'm patient and can handle a lot, but slurring and drooling the vows is something I don't even want to imagine. If it's something you're uncomfortable with, talk to him. It can't hurt.
20. I do not want my husband to be getting drunk on our wedding night, I think that is so trashy, tacky and shows no class at all. A few drinks is OK. Lucky for me my HTB does not really drink at all, he will have maybe one or two.
21. Considering I am paying thousand of dollars for the photographs I think it is his duty to make sure they are not thousands of dollars of "drunken" photographs that I don't want. A few drinks are fine, but drunk is not!
22. It would be gross - but he didn't, he knew better.
