Wedding breakfasts

[Simpo Two]

Why do mealtimes go so weird on wedding days?

Normal day:

8.00am: Breakfast
1.00pm: Lunch
7.00pm: Dinner

Wedding day:

8.00: Breakfast
No lunch
4.00pm: 'Wedding breakfast' (actually dinner)
No supper


Why, people, why? If and when I get married we're going to have a proper dinner at the proper time. And lunch!

When you get married you'll have exactly what she tells you you're going to have.

I wouldn't make any predictions.

What about the "Buffet"

Or is that just a northern thang!

Mmmh cheese and pineapple on a stick... surely something the Southern softies wouldn't understand

Simpo,

To be honest I'd not worry nor fret too much about when you eat.

You'll be flaffing around all day long chatting to all and sundry - so much so that the time will just fly by.

And yes - I know only TOO well that you are one of the most organised persons I know - but rest assured - it'll all just pass by.

My Polish wedding was superb in this (and all other) respect.

Normal breakfast
Normal lunch
Dress up for photos in studio ~3pm
Wedding ~5pm
Reception starts ~6pm
1st lot of hot food arrives at each table ~7pm
2nd lot of hot food arrives at each table ~8pm
3rd ~9pm
4th ~10pm
5th ~11pm

By about the 3rd lot of food I was too full to even entertain any further assaults on my stomache, although the food was superb and I was really upset at having to turn it away.

Tis supposed to be a proper meal, the first as a married couple, hence the breaking of the 'fast'

[Caruso]

I was very disappointed to find my wedding breakfast had no bacon or eggs in it!

<sigh>

Wedding breakfast - breaking the fast after the wedding, unless you take some popcorn with you in case you feel peckish I suppose.
