    I had a glass of champagne, there just wasn't time for more, which is a good thing really! :)

    I'm a bridesmaid on Saturday and we'll be sharing a bottle of champers between 5 of us, so a glass and a dribble each which is just about right, enough to settle the nerves, not enough to get us tipsy! I'm also making sure that the bride eats something before we leave as she'll probably forget to eat at the reception and we don't want her missing her own party because she's had too much fizzy pop on an empty stomach! ;)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    One of my (many and multiplying) fears is getting drunk at my wedding, and disgracing myself or not remembering large parts of a day I'm spending thousands of pounds on!!!

    My day will (as always :D) start with a big mug of tea, and I might treat myself to one glass of Bucks Fizz - the orange juice will stop me getting lightheaded!

    I bought some bucks fizz but I didn't end up drinking more than about a quarter of a glass because I was too busy getting ready.
    Don't pick anything too strong, you don't want to be too squiffy so early on in the day or as someone else illustrated, you might not make it through the day ;)

    Whatever you decide to drink....make sure you have it before you put the dress on and be mindful of the colour of the liquid or the potential to mark the dress...red wine or any coloured liquid on an ivory dress is not the best look when you join your groom at the altar...
