Honey, it aint high school! There's no "peer pressure" to drink alcohol!
Usually kids are present at a wedding, so the bride and groom also order apple cider or soda (as well as alcohol). If someone offers you a glass of champagne, decline politely and ask, "May I instead have some _____". No one would think anything of it.
Good question!

People who don't drink alcohol do the same things that people who DO drink alcohol do.
You eat, you chat with other people, you laugh, you often dance, you talk with the bride and groom and their families and compliment them. You meet new people, you have fun!
No one will force alcohol on you, I've never seen a wedding where there wasn't a nice variety of non-alcoholic beverages to choose from. If you don't want it to be obvious you're not drinking you can always get a drink called a "shirley temple" from the bar which is non-alcoholic and quite tasty, or you could get a virgin daquerie, etc.

Order a Shirleytemple or a non-alcoholic Bloody Mary and you will feel like you have a drink in your hand but it is not alcohol. Don't feel left out, because lots of people today do not drink..Then later in the even switch to Ginger Ale which looks like a mixed drink.

Nobody will force you to drink and if they do they are not good people to be hanging around with you can do soda or just drink coffee or if you want to give the impression that you are drinking order a shirley temple or any of the other non-alcoholic drinks No is a very powerful word use it and if you find yourself in that situation just buddy up with the bartender and if somebody hands you a drink hand it right back to the bartender and say I have my usual!!!

No one should force you to drink and if they do hold your on ground ans say no.
But, I'm not a drinker and I have been to weddings and drank tea and colas. So, do what ever is most comfortable for you.
At my own wedding though, I did have some champagne and a shot of gold schlager.

Umm you live life. A wedding has nothing to do with alcohol, and no one is going to force you to drink anything. More alcohol for those of us who do drink.
You think you'll be the only one who doesn't drink? Of course not.
If you feel obligated to drink, grab a mixed drink and sip here and there. So you're walking around with a cup pretending to drink if it's that big a deal to you.
But I assure you no one will care. They'll be more concerned about their own drink then what it is you have in your cup.
PS: If you don't drink because you like the taste (you said you don't like it). That means no one has made you a good drink that you like.

There are many people who don't drink and many who choose not to drink at weddings. Here's a real revelation for you; not all people even serve alcohol at their weddings. No one ever forces anyone to drink. Ask for club soda with a twist. Ask for a virgin pina colada. Just enjoy yourself, and no one should be taking a drink count on you.

No one forces you to drink at weddings, so you shouldn't assume.
You can dance and eat and hang out with friends and family. I have been to plenty of weddings where I didn't drink and it was NEVER an issue. I didn't even drink at my own wedding.

If you don't want to drink, just don't drink. It's that easy. Anyone who tries to pressure you into doing something you don't want to do is just being very rude, and I seriously doubt anyone would do that to you. Drink water or soda and have a good time. The reality is that very few people will care whether someone else drinks or not.

What do you think weddings are? Tons of people don't drink-they have a soda or water or whatever else they normally drink. From this question, I cannot imagine what you think goes on at weddings.
