A BRIDE and groom have sparked a fierce debate with a drinks rule for their wedding that has seen them accused of "playing police". The pair decided against having an open bar for their big day, instead settling on a "drink ticket system". 2 A bride and groom have sparked debate with their strict drinking rules on their wedding invites Credit: Getty 2 All their of-age guests will be given drink tickets for two drinks, that they have to drink at their assigned table Credit: Getty This system meant that each of their of-age guests would receive a ticket for two drinks - and is strictly forbidden from transferring any unused ticket to anyone else at the event.
In addition, guests also had to order and consume their drinks from their "seats at their assigned table". In a post on Reddit, the bride explained that her venue had told her that similar ticket systems have been in place at other nuptials, leading her to believe it wasn't "a big deal" to put it in place at hers. But her decision to draw attention to the system on the wedding invitations led to her receiving some less than complimentary messages from invited guests.
Explaining she'd been "called a lot of rude things", the bride said she'd also been called an "a-hole" and a "bridezilla". But she insisted: "I come from an alcoholic heavy family and simply don't feel comfortable being around people who are drinking heavily." So she had hoped the information about the system would be accepted as a "classy heads up" by guests.
