I just got this Super Awesome forum link in my email from The Knot about the worst wedding food, like ever. And I know. You are rolling your eyes at me. Why am I still getting mail from The Knot? Because I’m too lazy to unsubscribe that’s why.
Anyway.
This one hit home because we’re currently in the process of selling our yet to be conceived first born to pay for this grub that catty, competive brides are going to bitch about on The Knot. Not that I’m bitter or anything*.
And look. I’ve been that person ok. I’m a total hypocrite. I’ve complained about bad wedding food. I plead ignorance. Who knew this crap costs the equivelent of several months worth of rent? Not me, that’s who.
The ladies on The Knot, now, they know. of course, I’m sure their wedding food is going to be a spectacular gourmet affair that every last one of their guests will gush over for years and years. They’ll bump into a guest 5 years from now who will exclaim that the shrimp was the best. they. ever. had. They’ll accomplish this within budget too. Because they’re extra special that way.
So, yeah. We are still trying to figure out what we’re going to feed our guests. More than one person has expressed concern over us not actually serving dinner. What if people are hungry? They can eat a burger before hand, that’s what. We are serving more than enough food for a person to feel full on, as long as said person hasn’t starved themselves for two days before the wedding.
Our wedding does not entitle anyone to an 8 course gourmet meal.
*Also, it’s almost noon and I have yet to eat anything today because it’s been one of those mornings. Hungry makes me crankpants ok?

Right. I’ve complained about this before. It’s mean. I wish I would stop. But, what makes me crazy is that the bad food I eat is always so hella expensive (you just know) and then I get frustrated for the bride and groom that they had to spend so much on bad food. I want to kick the caterer’s butt for them. So it’s not that I am complaining about the bride and groom choosing bad food. I am complaining that they were screwed over by a thoughtless caterer.
@cupcake, I get it I do. I think where you are coming from is valid. I sometimes feel like we have so much that we are judged on, in regards to our wedding, where does it stop? I also realize that because I’m in thick of it and it’s our money being spent that I’m uber sensitive right now.
The funny thing is that, after planning a wedding of my own, I will NEVER comment unfavourably on someone else’s day. But half of the women that b*tch about other people’s weddings are married already. Where is their compassion??
So your wedding isn’t what I would choose? Well, your marriage isn’t either. We’re different, dur! Sorry I do not mix the perfect cosmo. Drink something else, don’t like the main course, eat more cake.
Apparently I am grumpy too!
It was something we totally didn’t want, bad food, that is. I think our food was pretty good. Better than most, but it was the #1 thing on our list that we wanted, next to you know, gettin hitched.
Here’s how I feel about wedding food (as a guest): as long as I’m not strapped to a table in a formal setting with really bad food, then I really don’t care. I can totally load up on finger foods and cheap booze and be SO HAPPY -as long as it’s a fun time. I think the funnest wedding I ever went to had some kooky fried chicken truck deliver a bunch of stuff. It wasn’t good, but it was fun!
