Hey, ladies! Not sure if Chit Chat is the place for this question, so please alert me if I should move it (or if I can move it) elsewhere.
So, we got married!! ~Actually, it happened in May, but I've been MIA for awhile.~ It was the best day of my life. And, thanks to all the wonderful advice given on these boards, I think we hosted an amazing reception!
However, it took sometime to get DH on board with open bar. It is more common in my area for couples to host wine & beer only, or host nothing at all. I have never been to a wedding where there was an open bar. After lurking here, I knew it was an absolute must. So, by using some of the advice given here over the course of months, ("But, honey, do we want our guests to open their wallets?" "Well, they are adults who can choose to drink how much they want, and if there is a problem (which there wasn't) the bartender can cut them off." "Why get a string quartet only too chintz out on the bar?") DH finally agreed. It was awesome and everyone loved it!
So my question to you, is on which hill did you die, and how did you convince your SO to get your way?
Also, bonus pictures from the big day! Sorry they're so effing big--can't figure out how to make them smaller.
