One should not be allowed to have a massive wedding ceremony if one wants to serve one's guests of more than 300 friends and family members a bunch of old, dried fish. 

This entitled bride and groom attempted to allow the caterers and venue to serve fish that had been sitting outside for upwards of five hours. The caterers rejected this and deemed it to be a food safety issue and a violation of the contract the couple had signed. However, once the wedding reception began, the groom doubled down and tried to serve the fish, reprimanding any caterers who got in his way. 

Now, if any of the guests discovered what was going on behind the scenes, we assume that they would rather not eat anything at all than eat potentially unsanitary fish.

    Our venue requires that if you don't use our in house caterer, that you use someone else who at least bare minimum has license and insurance.

    The couple I worked with at their wedding today used a very cheap caterer who I guess agreed to serve a soup the grooms mom makes in addition to the chicken and beef they were contracted to provide. The contract

    Imagine being a guest and thinking that it's safe to eat the soup because it's presented like it was prepared by licensed caterers. You have no idea what that woman's kitchen is like.
