He Got Kicked Out Of His Friend’s Wedding After Berating The Bride And Groom For Not Having Any Alcohol At The Event And Not Telling Any Of The Guests Beforehand
This 35-year-old guy’s best friend, who is 34, just got married last week. And normally, he and his friend drink alcohol together. In fact, their friend group regularly frequents breweries a few times each month just to hang out.
His friend’s fiancée, on the other hand, simply does not drink.
“It’s never been a part of her life,” he said.
Regardless, he and his wife were excited to attend his friend’s wedding. So, they got a hotel room nearby the reception space and took an Uber to the wedding.
Eventually, the ceremony started and ended. Then, he and his wife went to what was supposed to be a “cocktail hour.” But he soon realized that he and his wife could only get soda or water– no alcohol.
Now, the fact that they were going to a dry wedding was not something he or his wife knew about ahead of time.
“And there was a palpable buzz among our friend group at the lack of booze. A lot of us had spent money on a hotel room and Ubering, anticipating drinking,” he explained.
“I’m kind of [annoyed].”
Anyway, the bride and groom– his friend– wound up arriving at the cocktail hour. Afterward, the guests all cheered, and the newlyweds started to mingle with all of the attendees.

By the time his friend and his friend’s wife made it to him, though, he decided to directly address the elephant in the room.
More specifically, he asked his friend where the alcohol was.
At that point, his friend’s new wife chimed in and claimed that her family did not drink. And since the bride’s family had paid for the wedding, there was not going to be any alcohol offered.
Still, rather than accepting that explanation, he kind of doubled down– telling the bride and groom that they should’ve been informed of that ahead of time.
“I said I wasted money on a hotel room and Ubering. I would have just driven if I had known or maybe not even come,” he recalled.
As you can probably imagine, his friend’s new wife did not take his remarks well. Then, she apparently implied that he might just have a drinking problem.
However, he swears that he does not and simply likes to drink with his friends. Still, his friend wound up siding with the bride and claimed that he did not need to be such a jerk.
He just kept going, though, and reiterated how he spent a bunch of money– along with the rest of his friends– on things that were not necessary.
And the bride ultimately got really angry and asked him to leave.
After that, it was clear to him that he had struck a nerve, but he and his wife left anyway. Then, in his group chat with his friends, everyone had mixed feelings about him speaking up.
“And my wife said I wasn’t wrong but that my timing was wrong,” he vented.
So now, he’s been left wondering whether getting annoyed that there wasn’t any alcohol at his friend’s wedding really made him a jerk.
Can you understand why he wanted to know ahead of time that there wouldn’t be alcohol at the wedding? At the same time, can you believe he told his friend that he wouldn’t have even gone if he knew? Was that the wrong time and place to bring up the matter?
