Not being able to drink with everyone at a wedding totally gives you a different perspective! Especially when it is too early to tell anyone WHY you arent drinking!
on the other hand I did get quite a few laughs over wasted people dancing their hearts out!

I hear you!! We were in the same boat the other weekend - too early to tell people and an open bar! I had the bartender make me a juice "cocktail" and put it in a martini glass though... it helped me feel a bit more "with" the crowd!!
I went to my cousin's very post wedding and they had a FANTASTIC cocktail hour and great wines with dinner. The service was great, but that meant that I had to turn down all this nice booze about 100x. I did try a sip of the champagne at cocktail hour---sooooooo good.
I was wishing I had a great big bump at the time so the well-meaning staff would quit asking me!!
I hear ya!
Last year, we attended a wedding in my last 2 weeks of pregnancy. I had told myself I was going to allow myself a glass of red wine because that baby was cooked and I REALLY wanted it. There were 3 other women there who were just as pregnant as me and they each had a glass as well. DH kept asking me all night if I wanted him to get it for me. I needed to wait for the perfect time; when it was dark and everyone was dancing.
So I got my glass at the perfect time and sat at the table and REALLY enjoyed it. I didn't get drunk or anything, but it sure was great.
Hours later, back in the hotel room, I puked everything up.
Karma, I guess. UGH!
What about just you and your husband having apple cider. From a distance, no one should be able to tell, especially if they are poured before they are served. At our wedding, we just had a bottle of champaigne and a bottle of sparkling cider on each table. Guest got to pour the one they wanted.
