Her Friend Is Furious With Her For Leaving Her Wedding Early After Finding Out It Was A Dry Wedding
Two weeks ago, this 35-year-old woman attended her friend’s wedding. Her friend got married in the same town where they went to college, and that’s actually how they met in the first place.
She and her husband asked her mom and dad to babysit their kids and made their way to the wedding.
They booked a house with another couple they knew from college, and they were thrilled to have a mini vacation for a couple of days.
“My husband and I don’t have a ton of time to ourselves away from the kids, so we were excited to let loose,” she explained.
On her friend’s wedding invitation, it outlined that the the ceremony was happening at 5 p.m. and the reception started an hour later.
The invitation also indicated that the wedding reception would go on until 11 p.m., followed by an after-party at the venue with the bride and groom.
“The venue was a gorgeous mansion, and the bride and groom had it for the night; they were leaving for the honeymoon the next morning,” she said.
“Cut to the wedding day, and it’s a dry wedding. Apparently, the groom is 2 years sober. No one told us this, and we were admittedly bummed.”
“When we found out there was no alcohol, we told people we were going to some bars after and not going to the after-party. We left the wedding at 9:30 because we were itching to go out, and the wedding was boring.”

It’s not like she made an announcement that she and her husband were dipping so they could go have a fun time with some drinks involved; she discreetly told her friends before leaving the wedding.
All of their friends from their college days walked out of the wedding along with them, and they had a wonderful time out on the town.
Since they are all friends of the bride, none of her friends were left at the party, and only the groom’s friends were there.
It didn’t look great that they left, and the bride called all of them jerks for leaving the wedding on the early side.
“She said that she didn’t feel supported and felt like we were spiting her now husband for his sobriety,” she added.
“I told her that she was reading too much into it. We just wanted to go out. She is especially mad at me as I’m looked at as the ringleader of this outing.”
She doesn’t see how she was in the wrong at all, but she’s left wondering if her friend has a right to be so furious with her for leaving the wedding with all their college friends.
