I'm really sick of people using the T-word.
It the wedding of the bride and groom. Let them do what they want. If you think it's tacky, don't go to the wedding.
Cash bars are a lot more common than you think. Cash bars are a very regional thing. Cash bars are the norm in Northern Ontario. While in Southern Ontario, it would never happen. It really all depends on what you're use to, but it's not right to call someone elses choice or custom tacky.
I have been to quite a few cash bar weddings and I could care less. The bride and groom will provide wine with dinner (and believe you me, there's enough wine for 200 guests to get plastered without having a cash bar), but there is also a cash bar. The bride and groom will usually run their own bar and keep the proceeds. However, that's okay. It's accepted and it's encouraged.
