Couples are leaving alcohol off the menu at more and more weddings.
In a beautiful summer wedding last June, Kathlyn and John Bohatch said "I do" at a church in Northern California in front of 150 friends and family members, but left booze off the invite list.
"I got to marry my best friend, which is the most important part," John Bohatch told "Good Morning America." "It was a wonderful day."
His now-wife added, "Lots of happy tears, I definitely cried the entire time."
The couple said no one had an issue with there not being alcohol.
The groom first talked to his friends and said, "They were very open to the idea, they were OK," and told him, "It's your wedding, it's your special day."
Kathlyn and John Bohatch said they were also worried about the safety of their guests, because her grandmother was killed by a drunk driver.
"I'm just really against drinking and driving," she said.
Alcohol-free weddings are trending. The hashtag "drywedding" has seen a surge with over 3 million views on TikTok.
As more couples opt in favor of the new sober-curious celebration, some would-be wedding guests have reacted with mixed reviews.

"Guests need to keep in mind that the wedding is really about the couple getting married and it's how they've chosen to celebrate their special day," Emily Forrest, director of communications for Zola, told "GMA." "And that may or may not involve alcohol."
She continued, "Make the most out of every event, get out on the dance floor no matter what. Have a good time."
