Answer 1

Mead is basically fermented honey....

I guess you could make it and not let it ferment.

However, I would suggest sparkling juice spritzers, you can do them up in all kinds of color/flavor combinations.

Sorry I Couldnt be of more help -  but congrats to ya

Answer 3

congratulations! i think its great youre getting into your heritage with your wedding.

heres a recipe i came across:

soft mead

4 cups spring water

1 cup honey

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ginger

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 lemon, sliced

1 orange, sliced

Bring the water, honey, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon to a boil in a non-metallic pan (like a glass/pyrex pot or stonewear). Stir until honey is dissolved; heaviness should disappear from bottom of the pan. Use wooden spoon to skim off skin that forms at top of brew. Add lemon and orange slices, squeezing as they are placed in the pan. Cool completely; strain. Store in bottle in refrigerator.

make sure to keep it refrigerated. while honey doesnt go bad, the juices from the lemons and oranges will.

enjoy!
