On evry friday we going to drink

Ok..so we’ll have a dry wedding, fine with me, i’ll just be providing champagne toast (real and non alcoholic).

Well I don’t particularly want a cash bar (as everyone has told me it’s tacky).

HOWEVER, his mom said we should have a cash bar, and it’s included in the price. His parents are paying for some of the expenses. My dad and his girlfriend agree with the cash bar…just note on the invities or reception card that champagne toast is provided by Bride and Groom but there is also a cash bar available on premises if they would like alcohol.
I don’t want to be drunk on my wedding day because
I would like to remember the occasion lol…but im considering buying from that bar as well.

Thoughts? What to do? My parents and his parents are paying for most of the
wedding because they want family involved, my fiance and I can’t afford the expense but my father said eloping wasn’t acceptable! lol
Hey Jacq, learn how to type…and try doing a wedding with only 6k dollars in a high priced city (columbus ohio)

My fiance doesn’t want to purchase alcohol himself because he doesn’t believe in it….he says he doesn’t want to waste his money on such things but if others do thats fine lol
NOTE: They’re non alcoholic champagne is just sparkling grapejuice so it is non alcoholic lol

Kegs at the place we’re getting married are 205 and cases of wine are 280

it’s crazy!
i also want to add that this is a daytime wedding not an evening wedding and both my weddingplanner and caterer told me that cash bars are more acceptable in the daytime…

THE PARTY’S OVER

By Linda Monk

The Crash of 2008, which is now wiping out trillions of dollars of our people’s wealth, is, like the Crash of 1929, likely to mark the end of one era and the onset of another.

The new era will see a more sober and much diminished America . The ‘Omnipower’ and ‘Indispensable Nation’ we heard about in all the hubris and braggadocio following our Cold War victory is history.

Seizing on the crisis, the left says we are witnessing the failure of market economics, a failure of conservatism. This is nonsense. What we are witnessing is the collapse of Gordon Gecko (’Greed Is Good!’) capitalism.

What we are witnessing is what happens to a prodigal nation that ignores history, and forgets and abandons the philosophy and principles that made it great.

A true conservative (Rep or Dem) cherishes prudence and believes in fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets and a self-reliant republic.
He believes in saving for retirement and a rainy day, in deferred gratification, in not buying on credit what you cannot afford, in living within your means.

Is that really what got Wall Street and us into this mess — that we followed too religiously the gospel of Robert Taft and Russell Kirk? ‘Government must save us!’ cries the left, as ever.

Yet, who got us into this mess if not the government — the Fed with its easy money, Bush with his profligate spending, and Congress and the SEC by liberating Wall Street and failing to step in and stop the drunken ****?
For years, we Americans have spent more than we earned. We save nothing. Credit card debt, consumer debt, auto debt, mortgage debt, corporate debt — all are at record levels. And with pensions and savings being wiped out, much of that debt will never be repaid.

Our standard of living is inevitably going to fall. For foreigners will not forever buy our bonds or lend us more money if they rightly fear that they will be paid back, if at all, in cheaper dollars. We are going to have to learn to live again within our means.

THE PARTY’S OVER!
Up through World War II, we followed the Hamiltonian idea that America must remain economically independent of the world in order to remain politically independent.
But this generation decided that was yesterday’s bromide and we must march bravely forward into a Global Economy, where we all depend on one another.
American companies morphed into ‘Global Companies’ and moved plants and factories to Mexico , Asia, China , and India , and we began buying more cheaply from abroad what we used to make at home: shoes, clothes, bikes, cars, radios, TVs, planes, computers.

As the trade deficits began inexorably to rise to 6 percent of GDP, we began vast borrowing from abroad to continue buying from abroad.
At home, propelled by tax cuts, war in Iraq and an explosion in social spending, surpluses vanished and deficits reappeared and began to rise. The dollar began to sink, and gold began to soar.
Yet, still, the promises of the politicians come.
Barack Obama will give us national health insurance and tax cuts for all but that 2 percent of the nation that already carries 50 percent of the federal income tax load.

Who are we kidding?

What we are witnessing today is how empires end. The Last Superpower is unable to defend its borders, protect its currency, win its wars, or balance its budget.

Medicare and Social Security are headed for the cliff with unfunded liabilities in the tens of trillions of dollars.
What we are witnessing today is nothing less than a Katrina-like failure of government, of our political class, and of democracy itself, casting a cloud over the viability and longevity of the system.
Notice who is managing the crisis. Not our elected leaders. Nancy Pelosi says she had nothing to do with it.
Congress is paralyzed and heading home. President Bush is nowhere to be seen.
Hank Paulson of Goldman Sachs and Ben Bernanke of the Fed chose to bail out Bear Sterns but let Lehman go under. They decided to nationalize Fannie and Freddie at a cost to taxpayers of hundreds of billions, putting the U. S. government behind $5 trillion in mortgages.
They decided to buy AIG with $85 billion rather than see the insurance giant sink beneath the waves. Unelected financial elite is now entrusted with the assi
