Wedding RSVP, what do you get?

I wish you'd been around when I was picking my last wedding dinner. I thought salmon would be hard to ruin. They managed!

This is why you should only go to weddings if your goal is to show up for the couple. The food may well disappoint, the music may make you cringe, the ceremony may leave you cold. But if the people getting married are glad you see you, it's a success.

Yeah I’m vegetarian and increasingly it’s not a vegetarian meal but a vegan gluten-free nut free allergy plate— which is to say, terrible.

Beef. Typically the chicken is overcooked and vegetarian dishes are really hit or miss.

Short rib. They can sit for a long time and still be good.

It’s a wedding not a funeral.

A flower arrangement is really odd. I think PP is lost.

Had a good laugh picturing myself as a young bride (bridezilla, if I’m being honest) receiving some random $100 flower arrangement and having no idea what to do with it.

Yeppp. Back in the day I used to get served steamed broccoli - and nothing else - as the veg option at weddings. At least weird quinoa is an improvement over that.

If the pasta is vegetarian, I'd probably choose that. Otherwise, I'll pick the veg meal and eat a lot of bread. I don't go to weddings expecting to be fed well.

Beef
Chicken
Fish
Pasta

It makes me realize that I generally choose my restaurant meals by the sides!

i was just at a wedding in Rhode Island and the choices were steak, risotto or scallops, so I went for the scallops!

That would be left behind at the reception venue.

Hmm. The quiche. Only because I can't eat beer.
