[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No, you are a perfect candidate for a "bless your heart."

Additionally, most old school southerners don't have multi-course sit down dinner receptions ([b]nor do they use the phrase "surf and turf[/b]").  [/quote]

Indeed, that was for YOUR benefit, little poseur.  Figured it was a phrase you would be all too familiar with as you clearly dont go to many nice weddings, espcially not ones in the South.

South and "nice wedding" never go together. Southerns think it is appropriate to serve punch and cake to 300 people standing around in sweltering heat. If it is really fancy, there is a nasty red velvet groom's cake, too. [/quote]

I like those kinds of receptions. I like them better than sit-down meals where you have to make awkward small talk with relatives that you haven't seen in years and then pray that the DJ is decent.  Stand-up receptions are more like a garden party and less like a terrible Thanksgiving dinner. [/quote]

[b]Stand up receptions are cheap and short.[/b][/quote]

And if it's what people can afford, totally appropriate.[/quote]

Actually, that shows how much you know!  They are more expensive because you have to provide enough of everything (not just the chicken OR the fish) for everyone.  You also have to have a lot extra so the food doesn't look bare.  It is significantly more expensive to have a very nice reception with food stations and passed hors d'ouevres than a plated dinner.[/quote]

Absolutely. [/quote]

I don't know where you got married, but sit down is absolutely more expensive. [/quote]
