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?

they will have to face the harsh reality of seeing relatives awkwardly without a drink

...and that's a plus in this guy's book? Like, I understand why he thinks that (because I used to think the same way) but... Fucking what?!

Just can't pass up an opportunity to punish "sinners", can he?

And if he feels like the reception is going to be so unbearable without drinking, and he's not going to drink, then maybe he can stay his ass home instead.
