I appreciate everyone's thoughts on these 2 matters. Thank you all. Any more will be great also!

I understand that. But we don't have that opportunity at this time to do that.

Actually he is the only Mormon an either of our families. His family is mainly catholic and mine is a mixture of Lutheran and non denominational. And the reason he is giving his ok for family to have the homemade wine is because he has been to one of our family weddings and knows that since we come from a long line of winemakers that's a family tradition. He also knows how hard the decision to give that part of my heritage up is for me but I have given it up and no longer make or drink it. But it is a part of me and my heritage. So if I can ask what other fun or special activity do people have if they don't do the things like the garter toss?

He is fine with both the garter and the alcohol. He knows that my family and friends come from a long line of winemakers and doesn't have a problem with it.

I will be marrying a LDS member and was wondering what people's thoughts on throwing the garter at the reception. I have read articles on both sides but wanted to hear from ordinary everyday people. Also about a keg and homemade wine. Myself and my family are not LDS and we make our own wine its been passed down for generations. What are people's opinion of haveing that at a mixed reception?

Hi! I found this site when trying to locate certain information about questions that I have. I started dating my boyfriend back in June, he is a member of the LDS Church and he has asked me to look into the Church. The LDS Church is not a new thing to me, I live in Nauvoo, IL so have grown-up with the Church in the community. I liked the fact that in this forum you get honest answers and answers from different view points. Have a great day everyone!
