The internet is packed full of useful advice for brides on what to do and what not to do on their wedding day. During our adventures as videographers for numerous weddings and corporate events, we've seen many awkward moments. Here's one advice which we're sure will benefit the grooms out there, particularly grooms who have planned a western/chinese wedding.
Drink in MODERATION!
We can't stress this often enough. Oftentimes you plan your wedding day up to a year ahead. You send out invitations, appoint your photographer and/or videographer, go for your suit fitting, get your new home and/or car in order, select your best man, plan that wedding song/poem, book the hotel/restaurant... all that preparation, not necessarily in that order, only to ruin it all on your wedding night by getting drunk.
You're the man of the hour. All eyes are on you and your beautiful bride, it's your most memorable day. Your wedding dinner cannot proceed if you're slumped over a table or spending excess amount of time hugging the toilet bowl.
Take caution, your photographers and videographers will face a hard time trying to fill in the gap if you're down and out. Half drunk isn't good either, since you'll be swaying and saying things you'll regret the next day.
Almost every table you offer to toast will issue a challenge to you that you down copious amount of alcohol. The master blenders who made brandy or whisky or wines will weep if they see you down in one gulp what took them decades to perfect!
Wines and spirits are made to be enjoyed, savoured slowly as one appreciates its flavour and fragrance.
Discuss with your fiance on how to approach the matter of friends issuing toasting/drinking challenges. Have a few good buddies nearby who can help you out of a tough situation.
Know your limits. Better for you to turn down a few drinks and remain conscious than give your guests a lingering, sour memory of you in a stupor being carried away by your friends.
