I may just have a southern comfort, cointreau and lemonade
Haven't thought about what anyone else with me may like to drink. Lol.

Probably half a bottle of vodka to calm my nerves ha ha!
Get some champers in and some light drinks like fruity wine (if you like wine) or schnapps and lemonade that way you won't feel slightly bloated:DStolen the OH's account so it's Jenna - not Neil:D0 -
I might have a glass of bucks fizz, but not too much & nothing stronger - the registrars don't like it if there's evidence that you've been drinking before the ceremony.
A freind wend to a wedding recently where the bride was really nervous, and drank loads before the service to calm her nerves. The problem was she hardly ate anything all day, so by the evening reception she was puking everywhere. She had to be taken away before the end of the ceremony, and didn't even make it to the posh hotel they'd booked.0 -
Blooming eck!!! Thats meantal! I'm only planning on drinking something light, just to have one or 2... Imagine spending so much time and effort in planning your day, and then missing it!!! Crazy!!!0

I had buck's fizz but only managed one glass of it as we were so busy getting ready etc (and it's difficult to drink whilst you're having hair and then makeup done!)0

When I went to my brother's wedding I was 18, very young and naive and hardly drank - and never drank wine. I was a bridesmaid so I was taken to my then sister-in-law-to-be's house to get ready with her and the other bridesmaids. I was introduced to fizzy wine... I drank it like pop... and drank some more of it... by the time of the ceremony I was far too drunk - all I can remember is concentrating so hard on standing up as straight as humanly possible... then came the wedding breakfast.. I was near the top table and the waiters just kept on pouring - I would take a sip and they'd top it up. I have absolutely no idea how much I drank. I didn't actually make it to the evening reception. I have never been that ill in my life. I still, to this day, can't touch wine - the smell of it just turns my stomach!!0

Lots of cold water I think. Don't want to drink much at all on the day, as far too many people around.Married the man of my dreams - 10th September 2012, St Paul's Bay Lindos :jIt was amazing.0
