I Do The Details

Hi all,

I am excited it’s finally Friday! How about YOU?? Welcome to Featured Friday Edition #20- Don’t be a hot mess. Awesome title right? Hot mess is one of my fav terms! Use it, love it…

I wanted to chat about drinking at your wedding. What is classy and what becomes down right trashy. Now I have had my share of rough drinking nights and partying hard, but I am really against getting smashed at your own wedding- day or night. You spend all this time planning, picking out the most amazing gown, all your family is watching and what happens…you get so drunk that you blackout, get sick and make a fool of yourself. Is that really how you want the guests to remember your wedding?? Really? I think NOT. Champagne Mimosas while you get ready..fine, but no need to double fist or shock gun any beers on your special day- it can easily get outta control.

My advice is to choose one drink and stick to it all evening. I decided on champagne, a couple glasses with my ladies during make-up and hair, then I enjoyed a few more at the reception. I had fun, got my drink on but stayed well put together, not sloppy by any means. I just danced it up and had a blast with our family/friends. On the flip side, I do think the bridal party should live it up!!! Heck yes, I have been a hot mess bridesmaid a few times ha-ha, not a major scene but I had fun! Except that one time when I woke up with a bump on my forehead because I banged it off the toilet when I was getting sick the night prior…sorry Jill & Randy- I am special. Ok less my issues and more about this post- point being, all eyes are focused on the bride and groom that whole day and night. So don’t be a HOT MESS. That’s right, you love it..use it.

This is not just for the brides, I am also talking to those beer lovin’ grooms out there, hold your sh*t together would ya! I know men drink the night prior, enjoy a few cocktails even before the church but behave (finger pointing)..don’t get trashed. It is SO disrespectful to the parents who probably helped pay for this celebration. Nevermind the fact that your new wife doesn’t wanna babysit the first night she gets the Mrs. title. NOT COOL. Have enough to enjoy yourself but know your limits. Otherwise you will become the cake topper below…haha

Nobody needs to see that! Happy Friday, think about what I said..behave..AND before I go, I leave you with a toast: Here’s to the new husband, and here’s to the new wife, may they remain lovers, for all of life.
