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?
