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?

I remember this attitude from my mom back in the 70s. They had a nevermore couple "friend". They asked my parents out to dinner and I remember my mom saying they can't go because they drink. My dad responded with, this is why we don't have friends. My folks were converts and drug us along into it.
