Quick recap: H gets trashed at wedding and keeps sneaking drinks after promising to stop. 14 week pregnant wife is uber pissed because he lied and puked all over himself/his rented tux/in her car so she makes lots of noise while cleaning because she is pissed.
I'm kind of surprised at how many people are saying she's being a bitch and needs to calm the fuck down, its just a one time thing no big deal/he shouldn't be held responsible for drinking more and lying about it if he was already drunk....
If I was 14 weeks pregnant and my husband was puking all over my car/himself because he lied to my face and drank more than he promised, I'm pretty sure I would be just as pissed and try to make it the most miserable time of his life too. Or maybe I'm just a passive aggressive bitch like that.

When we were in our early twenties, I would've been and made fun of him the next day after letting him sleep it off. Now in our thirties I would be shocked if this happened--and probably pretty pissed. I'd also be embarassed that it happened at a wedding and my DH was "that guy".
So I don't know how old they are and what their social life is like. I think context plays a part here.
Her profile says she was born in '86 so she's 25 and we assume her husband is around the same age, so mid-late 20's.
However, I personally don't really feel that context matters outside of the fact that: 1.) she's pregnant and had to deal with his blitzed, puke-covered ass and consequentially also made her puke, 2.) he lied after specifically promising to stop drinking when she asked, and 3.) he puked all the fuck over himself, his rented tux which will now cost extra to clean, and her car.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm uptight, but I don't see how any of that would be acceptable no matter what age you are under those circumstances.
I would be pissed and would be making his life miserable as well. It's really not that hard to behave like an adult, even around alcohol, even when partying. He'd be getting the death glare and then cleaning *and* giving me a massage to make up for it.
It sounds like it has happened multiple times, which is why I think she is reasonably pissed. If this was the first time, eh I think I'd lay it out there and move on. Multiple times? Yeah, not so much.
I would be pissed on so many levels. Puke in my car? Get so drunk my pregnant ass has to haul you around? Lie to me and do it behind my back? Yeah. She is so not overreacting.
