We had a solid range of beer choices at our wedding, Brooklyn Lager, Sam Adams, and Coors Light for the non-beer nerds, maybe some others. But, I did think of having a specific beer for the occasion since my wife's name is Colette and Great Divide makes a good saison by the same name. Of course, the venue didn't have it but they could special order it.
When I tell you that weddings are shams to gouge you because 'it's your special day,' this is example No. 1. They could get the beer. It would be $150. Dear reader, this woman was offering to sell me *one* case of beer for $150 that retails for $25. I relented and went with a case. It was a splurge. Does anyone remember? Not likely. Was it fun? Sure. Weddings are like buying a house, in that by the time you're securing a 6-figure mortgage, haggling over a few $1000 on the final price is probably pocket change on the monthly payment. Once you're in on the venue, what's another $150 -- and they probably know it :)
