Getting Married On Saturday...Suggestions?
Hi!
I'm getting hitched on Saturday and I'm worried that people will notice that I'm not drinking (crossing my fingers that I don't get sick). I don't want to spill the beans to most of my guests until I am waaay further along. Do you have any ideas of a response that I can give them, if they ask?
I'm also kind of worried about all of the hugging and my poor, tender chest, but I think I can fake that one.
Thanks!

I did'nt drink at all at my wedding. And I was'nt even prego. Just super excited I guess! I don't think you need to worry at all. Everyone will be having such a great time that nobody will notice.
Have so much fun! It's the best!
Oh, and congrats!!!
Tell them you promised H/yourself/grandma/aunt/mom/dad/whoever you won't be the obnoxious drunk bride.
Or, just tell them you don't want to.
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
Tell them you and DH made a deal to not drink so that you would remember every moment of your special day. Or find some non-alcoholic drinks (champagne, wine, cranberry juice or club soda with a lime, etc) to fool people.
Congratulations on your wedding! Enjoy every moment - it's over too quickly!!
Congrats!
I didn't drink at my wedding because I'm a lightweight and wanted to be alert at all times. No one will notice and just take a sip during the champagne toast - you'll be fine.

This!! I didn't drink at mine either. I don't think anyone will be suspicious! Congratulations...enjoy every second!
This!!! Or just tell the bartender that no matter what you "order", fill your glass with club soda and a lime or N/A wine...
Remind FI/DH that you may need his help. If someone gives you a drink, maybe he can offer to hold it and lose it. Or if you have a friend that is in the know, have them keep you stocked with cranberry and sprite. They can also help "hold" your drink.
Congrats on your wedding. Hope your day is amazing!

I had one drink at our wedding...and not until about 11pm! It was such a busy night we barely ate either since we were mingling from table to table. I don't think anyone even noticed. I actually avoiding drinking much all day, and I went from noon, when I got my gown on, until about 8:30pm before my girls had to help me with my dress and pee. I wouldn't recommend dehydrating yourself when pregnant, but you could always make a joke about not wanting to drink and having to "break the seal" in such a difficult dress. Or, if you had to say something, I would say something about not wanting to drink on such a nervous stomach that day or leading up to your speech, or you're already giddy and hyper enough.
Good luck, I hope you have a wonderful day.
Thanks, everyone! I will definitely employ the fake drink and lose-it methods. I was just worried that my mom and brother would notice, but they probably won't because they'll be busy having a good time.
Thanks for the support and congrats!!
