Ew, that would piss me off too! She not be drunk during your ceremony. You need to have a serious talk with her. I am not having a bridal party, I'm only having my sister as my MOH.

I asked my bridal party to do the same thing. I don't really want anyone drunk for the pics. MY FH and the Ushers aren't drinking before the wedding either.

Re: why exactly do we need to have bm's?!?!
I don't think you're being unreasonable. People should respect your wishes on your special day. Does she know you're really serious about it, or does she think it's not really a big deal to you? Maybe just try talking to her again about it. I have a similar (but worse) situation than you so I COMPLETELY understand. I am extremely uncomfortable around people when they're drinking, so I am not having any alcohol at all at my wedding.

Re: why exactly do we need to have bm's?!?!
Well, I didnt say anything, but I knew I didnt have to because the girls in my BP just dont drink. We all did have a glass of champagne in the limo before hand but that was to celebrate. That was it for me LOL
If shes one that you think would actually get drunk before the ceremony I think you should talk to her again.
My DH likes to drink and I told him, I dont care if you drink, even beforehand, but if you are even CLOSE to drunk I will not say I do! He knew I was dead serious! I wanted him to be sober while hes marrying me. The boys were a little buzzed but thats it.

What is wrong with this girl that she needs to be drunk for your ceremony? I know you have some type of relationship with her, so I don't want to offend you. But that is the most white trash thing I've ever heard. So what, she can be tripping down the isle.
You need to put her in her place and she needs to realize that there is no tailgating before a wedding ceremony.

Your not being unreasonable. One of the groomsmen at my sisters wedding was drunk for the ceremony, and it got worse when they went to westbury gardens for pics. He was a mean drunk. and got lost somewhere to go to the bathroom. It was like babysitting a 2yr old.. And... he started manhandling my sister. I thought my sisters husband was going to tackle him at one point......

Some people just have no clue. One day when she grows up she will realize what an idiot she sounds like.
Print this up and show it to her. Maybe she'll get the idea.

Wow - I can't believe you actually have to tell her to not drink! I mean a glass of champagne in the limo is one thing, but what was she planning - a whole bottle on her own?

Re: why exactly do we need to have bm's?!?!
Yea I did not provide any alcohol the day of my wedding when the girls came here for pictures and to get ready. I had it catered so they werent hunger but NO alcohol and no one asked which was good, BUT at my stepsisters wedding before the ceremony we too were at her moms house and they had light snacks and BEER and WINE, I could not believe how much the girls were drinking and we had to be there 2 hours before the ceremony, and in the limo going to the church too these girls were drinking that on the way to the church we had to pull over to a gas station cause one of the girls had to pee! I couldnt believe it! oh and forget it the limo was packed with tons of beer that as soon as we got back in the limo more and more drinking, and we had a good 45 min to hour ride from franklin square to the fox hollow, it was a friday night wedding and it was pouring out, but I dont know how these girls were able to drink soooo much before the cocktail hour.

ok, that's really trashy and childish. Is she going to do keg stands during your cocktail hour, or put her mouth under the vodka slide?

Re: why exactly do we need to have bm's?!?!
You know I wonder if its because the alcohol will loosen her up and make her feel comfortable? that she is so adiment about it but doesnt want to say why she needs it.
