Got into a massive row at work about this today.
My position is that if you have a wedding and expect your guests to arrive with money and gifts for you and your new spouse, then you should at least have the decency to provide complimentary drinks -- ie, an open bar -- at the reception.
Your friends travel from far and wide to an event that you are hosting and to honour you and bring you gifts, and then you turn around and make them pay for their drinks???
Sorry, that is very, very tacky.
If you can't afford to throw a proper wedding, then don't. Get a judge/magistrate to do it.
Your thoughts?
