As I’ve gotten older and older and older, hangovers have become more and more and more brutal (it’ll happen to you). Of particular difficulty are weddings. An open bar means I’m gonna have a gin and tonic, and a scotch and soda, and then a couple bourbons on the rocks (this is all to get me in the mood to dance), plus two glasses of red at the meal, then once I’m out on the floor, I always need a beer in my hand.

The next morning in the hotel, facing a flight or a long drive home, I writhe around in bed, practically crying I’m so fucking miserable. But you know what doesn’t get you hungover? Marijuana.

Well, no one left John Elledge and Whitney Alexander’s wedding hungover (this is probably not an accurate statement, I’m sure many were hungover), because at their wedding, they had a weed bar.

The couple is from California, but got married in Oregon, where that shit is perfectly legal. USA Today has the story.

“On private property where no liquor license is involved, it is legal,” Mark Pettinger with the Oregon Liquor Control Commission said. However, he added, a caterer with a liquor license cannot legally serve alcohol at an event where marijuana is also being served to guests. “Caterers should be aware there cannot be bartenders and budtenders.”

So maybe there weren’t hangovers. But booze or not, people fucking LOVED it. Wouldn’t you?

“We were shocked by how much people loved it,” groom John Elledge said of his recent wedding reception. “I’m still getting a couple of texts a day from guests who enjoyed the weed tent.” Elledge, who describes himself as a professional marijuana grower, seems pleased to be a pioneer. “Even an 81-year-old woman who hadn’t smoked weed since the ’60s came into the tent at our wedding,” he said. “Though skeptical at first she ended up loving it.”

Man, now I’m bummed I’m going to a boring old alcohol wedding next month. Fuck. That.
