[George from New England]

Don't flame me but I see many a wedding where the bar is closed early and before the contracted time. It usually takes the father of the bride to straighten things out, this one went differently.
Other times the food service is so bad that the guests don't get to dance until the last hour and the bar may already be closed.

No flames :) My parents catered from Smart and Final. The reception was held at the Elks lodge. We had fun decorating the antlers. My folks hired people to serve the food they bought themselves. There was champagne that my folks bought, and a no host bar. The worst thing that happened was that a family friend, who also was the chief of police, caught my stupid husband and his friends and brother snorting coke off the hood of a car. We all got pretty drunk, but aside from that and the best man puking all over himself and passing out in our driveway, nothing horrible happened.

Oh wait, now I remember! One of his brothers was the dj. He threw on Ted Nugent..."if anyone wants to get mellow, they can get the f*ck out of here"! Yeeeha, try and dance to that :-/ The bridesmaids ran to the store and bought a disco album. Yeah...
