While I agree with you that a wedding sans liquor is not something that I would look forward to, you can't be saying that a bride and groom who don't drink for religious reasons should be forced to foot the liquor bill for their friends/relatives who like the drinky. That makes absolutely no sense. The proper response to those who invite you to such an alcohol-free occasion is to politely decline. Not get pissed off at them for not making their special day more pleasant for you. It is unfortunate that, like e/o, sometimes us heathens have to go to such occasions because they are close family or friends, but at those times one is expected to buck up and deal with it because of the love/respect you have for those people who are so close to you.
my first Miss Manners post. I feel so proud!
