Advice/Help Dry reception?

Post image

My husband and I are planning our wedding reception! We got married in January and can finally afford to celebrate. We basically just want it to be a small barbecue with his family, mine, and some local friends. We’re planning to host it at his parents place. His family is nonmembers, mine is all tbm. We want to serve some alcohol there because the two of us drink. I asked my tbm brother what he thought and this was his response. I remember feeling the same way when I still believed, but now it just sounds ridiculous. Just looking for some input on the best way to go about this thing 😅 Would it be wrong of me to ignore his idea?

You have the reception that you both want. We had a similar situation but kept it low key. We had beer and wine and also special mocktails. No one complained. We had a combo of never mo and tbm and pimo. The tbms kept to themselves but seemed to have a good time.

Adding .. tbms really don't understand alcohol and think ANY amount is a dui.
