Amanda shares a memorable wedding story where the mother of the bride was significantly intoxicated during the ceremony, offering thoughtful reflections on how alcohol impacts wedding celebrations.
• The mother of the bride had consumed too much champagne during morning preparations
• She treated the wedding ceremony like a call-and-response church service, vocally responding to the officiant
• The groom responded to the situation with remarkable grace, telling his embarrassed bride "She's our family"
• Alcohol is deeply embedded in American celebration culture, particularly at weddings
• Different drinking patterns often emerge between bridesmaids (mimosas, white claws) and groomsmen (shots, beer)
• Legal concerns arise when wedding participants are too intoxicated - couples cannot legally consent to marriage while drunk
• Practical tips for managing alcohol at weddings include limiting quantities, choosing pre-portioned drinks, and assessing your guest list
• Amanda suggests June might become "the month of we listen and we don't judge" for the podcast
