Respect the tag as i'm actually looking for actual opinions on the situation.
My dad is getting married in 2 weeks (that's another thread.).
It's a tiny ceremony with a total of 10 people. after the ceremony we are all going out to dinner at a very nice place.
My fathers new wife's brother is a gigantic DB that's ive had the pleasure of meeting a few times. Reminds me of a real life Ron Burgundy (but not cool).
Apparently he's an alcoholic. And i'm told because of him the dinner must be dry. 0 wine. 0 booze at all. Not that my wife and I need to drink...but a glass of wine with a nice dinner is always a nice thing. And it sucks a little more because i don't think my wife and I have been to a restaurant together in 2020. but that's no one's problem but ours.
Not that anything will come of this...but i'm toying with how i feel about the rule. Seems a little stupid.
He's in his 50's. He's a grown up. Should my wife and I have to skip a glass of wine with dinner because of him? or am i being selfish for feeling this way?
doesn't really matter. i'm not going to say anything and this is far from a situation i'd look for conflict over...but something about it seems dumb to me.
