    @muppetoverlord - Geez! Do you have pics or anything from that?  I can't believe that anyone in their right mind would do some of those things!!
    Indeed I do. Plus video.

    You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.

    @MuppetOverlord - Did you laugh when the bride started singing? 
    No, I was too busy trying to make sure I caught it all on camera (along with everyone else's reactions). I even took video footage of myself watching it so you could get my reaction

    10 Comments Name Dropper 5 Love Its First Anniversary
    the whole list of reception "formalities" irks me.....really!? why are we in a mad pile fight to the death for a bouquet of flowers or that stupid garter? it's not fun and the symbolism is a bowl of mud! the toasts are a bunch of lies and stories for people who just want to be seen....why can't we just say i do and enjoy the reception without a program!?

    I also dislike the garter/bouquet toss. And the money dance. And the venue running out of appetizers during "cocktail hour" while the bride and groom take pictures for 2 hours (true story). Also, I am SO pleased that the trend of "letting bridesmaids choose their own dress" is taking off, it's annoying to be asked/required to drop $200 on a stiff, formal dress I won't wear again, no matter what the bride says!

    Geez, that seems like a tough one. I'm not familiar with all of the etiquette for weddings, but it does seem as if cash bars are frowned upon. But, I understand where you are coming from too. Some other people should chime in and putting this on the etiquette board would probably be better, but would it be possible for you to essentially pre-pay? For example, give the bartender cash to grab from as drinks are bought. That way, you are giving people the money to your guests to buy drinks but they are the ones purchasing the drinks.

    Also, I looked up the liability issues and it appears as if, in California at least, this only applies to minors. Did you double check to see if it is similar in your area too, that minors are the only ones you can get in trouble for?
    No, it's not just minors. It's all guests. And "pre paying" isn't an option at my venue, or any other venue I checked with. It's either cash bar, toonie bar, or host bar. womp womp. Although it seems pretty commonplace to do a toonie bar here.

    @tdunnette  Could you check with your or your FILs property/auto insurance company to see if they offer liability insurance for weddings? Some places around here require it, if the host if they allow the host to bring and serve their own liquor.
