Menu tasting and peer pressure

I'm getting married in April. Tonight is my menu tasting.

I budgeted for this in my dry January because I knew I'd be tasting wine. But the dry period has really made me reassess my relationship with alcohol.

Our wedding coordinator is a lovely woman. But the expectation is to give the wedding couple as much free booze as possible. The restraint it took to say no, four times, was huge.

I've done some wine tasting tonight. No doubt it's nice.

But. The last three weeks mean I'm taking it much slower, drinking water, saying no, and actually thinking about things.
