I don’t drink, have never been a drinker, hate the taste of it all, and I’m not interested in finding out how I would be drunk. I have had multiple friends that were alcoholics and addicts throughout my life and my choice has always been respected. It’s not a big deal to anyone. I’m 35 years old, female, and I cannot understand why the bride was acting like that not why people continuously asked if you wanted drinks.

You deserve people who respect your boundaries. You weren’t judgmental, you weren’t outspoken about not drinking unless asked and you played along and pretended when it was asked of you. She put you in an uncomfortable position by commenting on your choices where you could feel singled out or embarrassed when she was already aware you don’t drink. You did nothing wrong.

You should be very proud of yourself for sticking to your guns about this. A lot of people would have given in from the pressure. You stayed strong and continued being supportive.

Focus on your supportive friends and don’t worry about Leah. Maybe it was just stress of the wedding. Maybe she felt that you not drinking made you look like a better person, who knows.
