Wedding Meal $$$

The bride is an idiot who has no idea what she's talking about.
Most wedding reception dinners are paid for by the "happy couple", and their families.
If she wants to talk about tradition. It is TRADITIONALLY the checkbook of the bride's father that ponies up the chicken and potatoes.

Hi Friends,
Really it is astonishing to me to know that paying for wedding meal. Mostly what ever wedding i have attended the bride or bridegroom are arranging the wedding meals. But there is no necessity to pay for wedding meal. Several times I have tasted wedding meal with more than 20 items in wedding meal.

Etiquette says things like, 'the cost of the gift should offset the cost of the meal', and crap like that.
But when I think about some of the absolute swill that has been passed off as food at some of the ceremonies I've attended, as both a guest, working for a caterer, or as a photographer's assistant, no.
If the majority of your menu consists of noodles and rice (and you did not warn people that you were inflicting your vegan-ism on them, I was on the kitchen crew that time, and that was what was ordered, and it was true vegan, not even real eggs or cheese could be used!), or your friends and family proceed through the serving line and are handed coldcuts and cheese and asked if they want wheat or rye bread, OR, the 'Americana' meal turns out to be overcooked mystery meat patties and cold fries (wedding on a USAF base).... Sorry Charlie.
And ALL of those examples are from real life.
If, that is, wedding receptions are real life.
At least the cold cuts was all you could eat.
