Will this hilarious White People dinner be followed by sarcastic Curry Dinner the next week and Deep South Fried Chicken Dinner the week after?

I'm from the south. Weddings were not in the firehall but in the church basement. As little girls, we'd take the cake home in a napkin, too.. Story was to put it under your pillow and you would dream about your future groom! And, the only food served was --at best--tea sandwiches and buttermints.

What’s readily available in the suburbs is very different from what’s readily available in the city. Unless by city, you mean, like Cleveland or something.

Erm I’m in my 30s and I still wrap stuff in napkins to take home sometimes! I mean, not at a wedding.
