Justin Theroux Begs Jennifer Aniston For A Non-Alcoholic Wedding

Justin Theroux is begging fiance Jennifer Aniston to kick her wine habit and is even pushing for a non-alcoholic wedding, RadarOnline.com has learned. “Everyone knows that Jennifer loves wine, but Justin would really like her to stop drinking entirely,” a source told Radar. d Now, Theroux, 42, even hopes for a dry wedding when he walks down the aisle with 45-year-old Aniston, according to the source!
The older Justin gets, the more he’s become a super health freak, and he wants Jen to follow suit. She’s definitely slowed down her boozing since she and Justin hooked up, but she still loves two or three glasses of wine every night. Justin’s hope is that she’s going to give that up soon,” said the source. ut is that really possible?

Aniston told Harper’s Bazaar UK in 2010 that she followed a healthy diet but wine was one of her non-negotiable indulgences. “You’re not taking away…my glass of wine because I’d be devastated,” she said.
The source said Theroux has been on a health kick in which he’s eliminated booze and would love for his fiance to follow suit.

“Jen is totally capable of quitting and has never gotten into trouble with her love of vino but Justin doesn’t like how she’ll easily down a bottle of wine a night without batting an eyelid,” the source noted.
“He really wants her to quit and has been pushing for a non-alcoholic wedding – an idea that was met with great laughter by Jen and her girl crew.” http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2014/05/jennifer-aniston-stop-drinking-wine/

and change you, what is more, even at the wedding.

If true (and who the heck knows if this kind of gossip junk is true or not), she should stay as far away as possible from this holier-than-thou guy. If he loves her, he has to love her as she is and not try to convert her into what he wants her to be.

End it before it's too late, Jennifer!

who literally wanted to tell her how to dress. Her parents and those of us who know from the day she was born told her he was bad news but she wouldn't listen - or so we thought.
She married him and walked out three months later. Strangely enough she told us her breaking point was when he told her what lipstick to wear at their wedding. She knew it was never going to work.

Lots of alcoholics have had successful careers -- they're called "functional alcoholics."

She has made it abundantly clear that she wants a baby. She might as well go cold turkey now, because 2 or 3 drinks a day is way too much for a pregnant woman.

This guy wants the entire wedding to be non-alcoholic: none of the guests can have a glass of wine or champagne even. If he's off the bottle, everyone has to be. I know this type: they project themselves onto the world and think everyone else should behave as they do.

As for Jennifer, if she has a drinking problem (and I doubt she does, but whatever), that is up to her to solve ... BEFORE a marriage. Not some guy who dictates how "healthy" she should be.

virtually none, while she's pregnant or trying to.

The "source" said she thinks nothing of downing a bottle in a night. That doesn't sound like she's ready to kick her habit. If she says no, he might have dodged a bullet.

In the meantime, she should give serious consideration to the concept that this man is trying to change her before they're even married. Frankly, I think any woman.......or man.......should expect to be accepted as she or he is. A suggestion is one thing, but this sounds like she's being bullied.

That being said, it's his wedding, too, and his first, at that. It would be nice if, for that occasion, they could come to some kind of compromise. That, too, would be an indication that they might have a chance as a couple.

A fetus is most susceptible to damage earliest in the pregnancy -- even before a woman knows she is pregnant.

There has been at least one study saying that "moderate" use may be okay -- moderate as defined by 2 drinks PER WEEK -- but most doctors say that women shouldn't drink at all if they may be pregnant.

I used to be a heavy drinker and whenever I told someone how much I drank I always cut it be half. I still do that today actually but it's easier to say 1 drink a night when it was really two over saying I only drank 5 beers when I really drank a 12 pack.

How many relationships have I been forced to witness "poor Jennifer" suffer through on glossy magazines while I just wanted to buy my groceries?

"Poor Jennifer" my ass.

After a certain number of failed relationships?

You have to start considering that maybe it isn't that ALL the guys have been awful and failed "poor Jennifer."

She may be a person impossible to tolerate once the "aw shucks" wears thin.

Just speculation, obviously.
