I want to set a good example for others and maintain my own standards.
Would it be acceptable to just stay at the casino between the end of the ceremony and beginning of the reception? Or go to my car?DEAR NONDRINKER: People who go to bars and drink soft drinks are not pretending to drink alcohol. They are simply enjoying a soft drink at a venue which also serves alcohol.
However, you are not obligated to attend the cocktail hour before the reception. This cocktail period is usually provided for guests while the wedding party is being photographed before the reception. And – not to put too fine a point on it, but casinos are also dens of iniquity. If you want to avoid temptation, you might want to stay in your car.
Wherever you choose to perch during this period, I hope you will do your best to attain and maintain a non-judgmental attitude toward other guests.
