“AITA For Secretly Selling Alcohol At My Dry Wedding To Cover Costs?”

A wedding without alcohol is nothing scandalous these days. In 2023, wedding registry Zola predicted that about 4% of all weddings in the U.S. will be alcohol-free. While that’s not much, it certainly signals that not every couple wishes to have booze at their reception.

Such seemed to be the case for this couple, but the bride had a different idea. Unbeknownst to the groom, she planned a ‘secret bar’ where some guests could get tipsy. Her reasoning? To offset the wedding costs. However, the plan blew up in her face when members of both families found out, and, subsequently, the groom.

Commenters were ruthless, many saying she’s a jerk for not telling her husband

Others defended her, saying she’s the one putting the wedding together: “Most people don’t want to go to a dry wedding”
