Last Friday was a great celebration! I enjoyed my club soda and lime at a good friend’s rehearsal dinner and drank coffee and tea into the evening, laughing with friends.
Here’s a situation that I have been struggling with - we were celebrating the beige the following day and when it came time for a champagne toast, the MOH (also a good friend said), “You can just hold a glass, you don’t have to drink it.” It made me feel uncomfortable. 20/20 hindsight and for next time, will bring my own seltzer or fun drink to the toast so I don’t have to hold champagne. I love to ritual of “cheers” for someone, just don’t love holding alcohol, especially for a picture, especially when someone else tells me to do it. This friend is getting married in the spring so I plan on mentioning it, “The toast with champagne at the previous wedding made me feel uncomfortable, so I will plan to bring my own yummy drink of choice to cheers to you this time around.”
What would you do in this situation?
yes, thank you!
. It’s a blessing to have a choice today. It’s a blessing to have friends that care about us too. A nice conversation with your friend may help educate her on how not to act in the future. Meanwhile, you are rocking recovery!!
