Her Fiancé Is Refusing To Have Alcohol At Their Wedding, But She Thinks It Won’t Be Fun For Anyone Without It
When planning a wedding, some couples who don’t drink alcohol get stumped on whether or not they should serve it at their reception, how much they should serve, etc.
One woman and her fiancé recently got into an argument after he insisted that he didn’t want alcohol served at their wedding.
She and her fiancé are in the middle of planning their upcoming small wedding. She drinks occasionally, but her fiancé doesn’t. He never really explained why he doesn’t drink.
He would just say he didn’t see the “purpose” in doing it. His choice to be sober was never an issue for them, as he never judged her for drinking and still manages to have a good time while sober.
However, this changed when they began planning their wedding.
Their wedding planner recently stopped by their apartment to review a few things. Then, out of the blue, he told each of them for the first time that he doesn’t want any alcohol served at their wedding.
“When the planner left, I asked my husband why he doesn’t want alcohol there,” she recalled. “He said there was no reason.”
She told him that if there was no specific reason for not serving alcohol, then they should do it anyway.
Later, he told her that his mother was an alcoholic who’s been sober for nine years and that he didn’t want alcohol at the wedding so she wouldn’t feel triggered.

She asked him if his mom specifically requested that the wedding reception doesn’t include alcohol, and he said no.
“I have noticed that his mom doesn’t drink, but I thought it was a family thing,” she explained.
“I have attended multiple family functions, most of which had alcohol present, and I have never seen her take a sip. I think that just speaks to her self-control.”
She told her fiancé that she doesn’t believe his reasoning for not serving any alcohol at their wedding isn’t valid because of his mom’s ability to control herself and the fact that she didn’t ask for it to be a dry wedding for her sake.
He got very upset with her and told her she wasn’t giving him a “say” in their wedding and that she might as well go off and plan it all by herself.
“I feel like he is only thinking about himself,” she added.
“My family is big on drinking, and they are obviously going to want to celebrate me. Plus, we want a really fun reception, and I’m not sure if we can achieve that without alcohol.”
Do you think her fiancé is being unreasonable?
