Just thinking the Mormons are trying to get away from the harem image!

Good idea though and there must be other companies that do similar things to that.

Well it sounds very much like the Latter Day Saints to me, not to worry,

- they are LDS, we went to DD2's baptism and have been to the church on a couple of other occassions. The people we have met there are absolutely lovely and very welcoming. They are incredibly family orientated and we can see that DD2 is very very happy when she is at church.

 

Um, something to bear in mind for something that will be happening to us sometime in the future! And I like my rum and my coffee - sometimes both at the same time!

 

Just a thought - perhaps The Osmonds should be played for a good partay - Crazy Horses is not dull at all!

 

Um I like Tia Maria with my coffee, but I'll wait and have that when we get home

 

DH is feeling much happier about this now, we've had a good chat and he is happy that the day must be as DD2 wants it. He is going to have a chat with the handful of men that we think might be really bothered about the lack of alcohol and if need be offer to take them out after the wedding for a "proper" drink.

 

Thanks again everyone for your input it has been really helpful.

I'm sure it will be a terrific wedding and a day your daughter will remember forever as having wonderful and understanding parents. I wish you all well. And this afternoon my DD has announced she is going to Utah next year. Oh boy! At least I'll know she'll be safe - and she's behaving herself. And if she brings back a surprise fiancé for us, I'll be picking your brains!

[bigmommasally]

Thank you Valkyrie

 

I think DD2 and her fiance plan to go to Utah next year too, they are going to stay with a missionary friend who lives there I think. They may also have their marriage sealed in the temple when they are there. The marriage sealing is a very important occassion to them but its one we won't be able to participate in, as non mormons are not allowed in the temples.

[Valkyrie]

The temple is what my DD is wanting to see (and a certain Elder that she's taken a shine to - I've seen his house - it's very posh). She'll be travelling with another friend who was baptised last week.

It is such a pity you won't be able to go in with them - after all Christian churches and cathedrals are open to all - um, not sure about a certain area in Rome though. One of my friends is, or rather, was a Hindu and she married a Catholic and like your daughter she changed her religion for him prior to the wedding too. They went to Rome and I'm sure her mum was allowed to go along with her. Perhaps they'll be a bit more accommodating as parents of the bride - you aren't tourists just wandering in off the street after all.

Who knows - my daughter might all be there at the same time as your daughter!

Sounds like it's going to be a fab wedding! When I was pregnant with Mog I had a brilliant night in a club once, where the barman amused himself by making wilder and wilder fruit juice cocktails for me, it was a really great evening!

I know they have already compromised and agreed to have tea and coffee, but you could consider caffeine free.... I drink caffeine free tea and no one even notices when they are given it..... unless I tell them

[bluekarin]

To start with I thought No Alcohol! At a Wedding!! But now, after reading all the replies, I have been slightly swayed. Wouldn't it be nice to wake up the morning after without a hangover, and actually remembering what had happened, and what you'd said as well. I love the idea of mocktails and the smoothie bar Maybe for toasting the couple you could have some sparkling elderflower, which has the look of champagne but totally alcohol free?

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day

I couldn't agree more with some of the comments above - it is their wedding, and their right to choose. If guests are made aware of that in advance, then they have the option not to attend if they so wish, and to voice a negative opinion about it on the day would be bad mannered and churlish.

 

I don't drink either, but it never stops me from having a good time; it would be refreshing for the guests to realise that they can do the same.

 

I hope that it goes well and they have a wonderful day.

Um, having met Claret I can definitely vouch for that! She bounces all the time!

I agree with all the others who say it's your DD's big day and she should have the wedding day that she wants.

 

I went to a Muslim wedding last Summer and they had no alcohol there and it was still a really lovely occasion and no one seemed to mind not being able to drink alcohol.

 

I don't drink alcohol as I take medication that I can't drink with, so when my DS got married nearly 5yrs ago I was sober throughout the whole day and evening. I have to say it was the best day ever and I had a brilliant time and the only people who ruined it somewhat were the ones who had a few too many

[Krysia]

I can just echo the above!

 

its her day not the few family members who want to drink! We drink but only occasionally and it never ceases to amaze me how much some of my friends drink!

 

I hope you have a fab time and a toast is a toast its not compulsory to drink alcohol!

[Ms Marple]

What an interesting thread!! I started off thinking I was not sure but now I am in agreement with the who have already posted. It is their day and they seem to have compromised pretty well. the mocktails and smoothies idea sounds fab!! Enjoy and let us know how it goes.

Just reading through some old posts- how did the wedding go?
