This is actually pretty standard at all the weddings I've been to. The prices are usually lower than normal, but it's almost never an open bar. But then again I'm from Newfoundland & we are not known for "sipping"!! It would bankrupt the b&g to have to pay for the guests booze!! But things are a lot different there too - it's not uncommon to recieve less than $50 as a gift either. But the dinner plates at not overly expensive - it's all relative I guess!
I am on the floor laughing... The first party I hosted at my home here with my Dutch FI and me being a Newfie. I had enough food to fed an army and enough booze to kill the enemy and keep the troops happy. He was in shock when he seen the spread that I put on for family and friends 26 people 20 of them Newfies. He just kept telling me "hun thats alot of food, oh hun thats alot of beer and booze". I am laughing, oh is he in for the shock of his life lol.
Let's just say he knows when my brother and cousin shows up their good for a keg or two and half a cow. So yeah in Newfoundland it's CASH BAR and Yes I do remember getting $5.00 from a couple that came to my first wedding 24 years ago. So funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst wedding I went to was when one of my college chums (the groom) got married. The church wedding was beautiful, and was in spanish and english. Total Catholic wedding so it was up, down, up, down all afternoon. But the reception was at this conference hall that had a main area and then a long "hall" that jutted off to the side. The groom's side was all seated down this hall like we were the redheaded step children! We couldn't see a thing. We missed everything... garter/bouquet tosses, cake cutting, first dance... they even forgot to let us know when we could eat! Best we could do is have our own little "outcast" party in the back!! LOL

Oh My God!!!! I am on the floor laughing so hard. I went home this summer the first time in 15 years and took a girlfriend (Non Newfie) with me and she was freaking out because people were cursing at me when they spoke to me.

I had people say " Jesus!!!! Where the *uck have you been"? or what the *uck have you been doing with ya self? My friend was thinking there will be a point when Sue loses it and tells everyone to stop swearing at her. However I am going along with the conversation.
So now my friend and I call each other everyday will ask each other " How the *uck is you day going? Oh the best was when she heard my nephew ask someone "You got the time on ya cocky"..... Oh god I have tears in my eyes remembering her face.
PS Your wedding day is one year after mine!!!!

I went to a wedding on the other side of the country (most of the guests had to fly to get there). The ceremony was beautiful, however after that all 200 guests were led to the churches mildewy basement where were listened to a static-ish radio station and were fed paper cupfuls of peanuts. The real kicker was when groomsmen kidnapped the bride for ransom money. We didn't even have chairs or food and they want MORE from us? Tacky as H%#@!!!

The MOG was so mortified that she offered to take us out of towners all to an elegant steakhouse for dinner. That was the best part of the wedding

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
