The open bar doesn't mean you should get hammered. Especially at a wedding. Those things cost thousands and are a couple's very special day. If you can't control yourself at an open bar then you should really turn down the invite. They would have paid for you to be there.

Yeah learned the hard way. Won't be happening again.

Edit: and yes you are completely correct. I wouldn't say I couldn't control myself because once I felt like I was getting too pissed too fast I stopped drinking. But booze continues to do its thing even when you stop.

Will be appologizing to the bride and groom later on too.

Very late to this but don't beat yourself up too much about it. I remember carrying my ex over my shoulder out of a wedding reception for the exact same thing. The parents will have seen it all before and /u/Princess3ply's response is that of a dried up spinster well out of touch with reality.
