question for ST Southerners - I'm watching a tv show called Bama Glama and a wedding is being planned. A bride wants jager bombs/other hard liquor - Diva Dec 30, 16:19 30

  - ok. have you noticed at other weddings in the South (that weren't family weddings) whether only beer/wine is served? - Diva Dec 30, 16:24 16

        OK, I have to say, being raised in a STRICT Catholic family, we all get totally bombed at weddings. Open bar is expected. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 18:30

        Usually if there isn't booze they make up for it with food. -- nm - the liioulu with rain Dec 30, 17:04 2
        
        I wouldn't know as I usually have left. -- nm - Beaker Dec 30, 17:05 1

        That part I don't know. - the liioulu with rain Dec 30, 16:32

- Call, and deactivate the old phone. Then review options with your provider. -- nm - budice Dec 30, 16:14 1
  - Think of it like a credit card. -- nm - budice Dec 30, 16:14
