I do. I do. I don’t eat that.
The not-so traditional approach to wedding catering.
I bet there’s a lot to think about when you’re planning a wedding. The dress. The bridesmaid dresses. Suits. Flowers. Venue. Food. Ah yes, food. Catering for a vast number of guests who all have different tastes.
Here’s how it’d go if I ever got hitched. Do I like the selection? Yes. Does the groom like it? Yes. Will the rest of the guests like it? I’m paying so either eat it, go hungry, or get Macca’s on the way home.
I’ve developed food allergies and intolerances in recent years, but as far as catering goes, if there’s nothing I can eat, my bad luck (or else it’s double dessert). The last thing I’ll be doing however is berating the host for not making sure I have a plate with my name on it.
So when I recently got a wedding invite in the mail, I wasn’t expecting a “please tell us if you’re a pain in the backside and can’t eat anything” request (they were more polite but I imagine the thought process was along those lines).
With everything else to think of for the big day, the happy couple actually thought of us weirdos that have to be difficult when it comes to food. They could have said “eat what you’re given, or don’t”. But instead, they were thinking about how they could make their day fully inclusive, and not just what suited them.
How bloody brilliant. I knew I liked them for a reason.
