It p1sses me off when it’s a pay bar at the wedding reception.
But, when the family of the groom’s family is worth north of £60,000,000,000 - FFS chuck in a few free sausage rolls for the guests, why don’t ye.

Maybe that's why they're minted🤔
How do you think they got to be worth more than £60,000,000,000?
Not by paying for everyone to get p1ssed, that’s for sure!
Edit : beaten to the punchline.
Probably, but I’m tight, and I was poor 20 years ago when I got married.Maybe that's why they're minted
But, my number 1 priority was that everyone was well fed, and made sure there was a couple of grand behind the bar. And not everyone attending was your best friend.
Cheap royal fookers.
Probably worth closer to 1% maybe 2% of that figure. So they need the money ;)
It's just a matter of time...
Cant stand tight waddery…. I had a big refrigerated trailer packed full of booze and local eau de vie hooch on every table…. It was messy and nobody was out of of pocket (other than having to shell out for travel to France - i’m worth it!)
Maybe it's a generation thing but I've never been to a wedding where you *didn't* buy your own drinks (leaving aside toasts and the reception).
Maybe a cultural as well, I'm Asian and it's very offensive for a guest to have to pay for anything at a wedding all food and drink is free.
Like when I took my family away on holiday to Dubai for my 50th, they moaned they had to sit in cattle class on the plane, while me and the wife went upstairs and the hotel rooms weren’t suites with a butler.
Moan moan moan.

Sixty billion?
Blimey!
So clever my foot fell off.
It must be Harry & Megs wedding. In that case just add the drinks to Phil the Greek's tab.
Just take a hip flask in your jacket pocket and top up your plastic pint glasses while 'Oops Up Side Your Head' (or similar) is spinning on the Superstar DJ's wheels of steel.
Job done.
More like 'Burning Down The House' if they charge for booze!
I had $100 in my wallet the last wedding I went to. Useless though as it was in Middlesex.
If we get married it’ll be at a restaurant with a minimum spend where food is budgeted and the rest is stuck behind the bar.
St John is where we’ve talked about and they do this.
We haven’t been to many weddings but have 4/5 coming in the next few years (or planned at least), they’re always at crap venues in the middle of nowhere charging £6.50 a pint.
Throw in the fact it’s a weekday in most cases, jeez it mayaswell be a dry wedding.
