Is anyone putting money behind the bar??

When I got married we got £1000 from my parents and put it straight behind the bar and it lasted most of the night, (was over 13 years ago now though). If I invite people to my wedding then why should they pay stupid hotel prices because I want a stupidly expensive hotel? Your celebration, you pay. Simple. If you can't afford it don't do it.

Errrr, that's a bit rich isn't it. Easy for you to say when you didn't even pay for the drinks! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The first free bar I came accross was my dutch cousins wedding in Holland, she was horrified that I was gobsmacked because its normal over there to have a free bar at a wedding.

It does appear to be cultural.

We could have easily spent it on the honeymoon or put it towards a better car etc. When it given to us as a gift it was OUR money. We chose to let our GUESTS drink on us at OUR wedding. Like I said, it's not rocket science

Edit options in user CP, thread display options. Glad I'm not the only one who missed that one!

I wouldn't expect a free bar these days, however, I went to my half sisters wedding last Saturday and was suprised to find that my very frugal step mother had put £2000 behind the bar for the 80 guests.

On reflection though I realised she could afford it, it was just a drop in the ocean after all she inherited from my father. [STRIKE]She[/STRIKE] he also paid for the happy couple to honeymoon in Kenya for 2 weeks and seems offended that I don't bother to visit too often.

I learnt a lot from my father - I go out of my way to treat all my children fairly and equally.

It's your wedding, enjoy your day and don't let MIL spoil it for you
