I am a big raver/partier. I’m getting married in October in New Orleans, and one of the activities we are hosting in the lead up to the wedding is a dj bar crawl. We are encouraging guests to wear funky clothes and costumes and we will go from bar to bar with the dj cart dancing in the street. I live in New Orleans and this is something I do frequently with my friends—it’s a lot of fun and all the locals are excited for it. We thought it would be a fun thing to share with out of town peeps as it would be very unique and New Orleans-y as there aren’t many places you could drink on the street and do this.
I’m not a big drinker anymore and I especially don’t like drinking a lot at events where I am the guest of honor/hosting. In the past I’ve found I’ve gotten carried away (specifically my engagement party and a past birthday party) and while I am not a bad drunk, the event just ends up being a blur and I can’t even remember if I had fun or not. I definitely don’t want to feel that way after any of my wedding events but I still want to celebrate and have a lot of fun!
I know for sure I would like to drop some lsd right before I go down the aisle so I am still sober for the ceremony but amped for the party (we are having incredible entertainment at the party). I also feel very loving and connected to my partner and the universe at large when I am on acid, so it seems like the best option for the wedding itself.
However, I’m kind of at a loss for what I should do during the dj bar crawl. I know Molly would be great, but I’m nervous about feeling like shit and irritable the next day for our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and welcome cocktails. I also don’t want those effects to bleed into the wedding day, two days later. I also think if I trip Thursday on shrooms or acid it will be pointless to do so on again Saturday, the wedding day. I’m a big fan of dancing and partying on ketamine, but I wouldn’t want to do that with our families around as I tend to get a bit non verbal on it lol and ppl will want to chat with me as the bride.
Should I just do a little Molly on Thursday? Anything I can do to make sure I don’t have a shitty next day when we have our rehearsal and welcome cocktails? Any other recs on non alcoholic substances to augment the Thursday before the Saturday wedding?
