Weddings are meant to be the happiest day of the bride and groom's life, but who actually feels like that? Usually the bride and groom are running around, greeting aunts, uncles, children, grandparents, and trying to coordinate with DJ's, bartenders, caterers, and whoever else. The night is usually a whirlwind of lurid lights, cameras in your face, grinning mouths congratulating you while you don't even have a moment to breathe or even be with your new husband until the dance. But besides the chaos of weddings, there's a lot of planning involved. 

In a way the celebration is a representation of you, of your relationship, and of your values. The day is supposed to be about you, but it ends up being about pleasing everyone else as well. It's a lot of pressure to feed everybody, to make sure they're all happy, and to provide enough to drink as well. 

If you can't put on the wedding you would want to put on, it may be on the guests to fend for themselves, and that's exactly what happens in the story below.

    Me and my wife were invited to my friends wedding, the wedding was going to have about 70 ppl, with mostly family. When we got there we were seated at a table with some other people. Nice people, and we mingled well and had a good time chatting. The wedding was also quite nice both my friend and his new wife were very happy. After the ceremony

  • It's absolutely reasonable for the guests to order food and eat at a wedding that ran out of food. Maybe they should have coordinated with the bride and groom though instead of just doing it behind their backs. Then maybe they could have ordered more and included every table that went hungry. It's pretty unbelievable to not provide food at your own wedding!

    every table got two bottles of wine, bread/butter, and there also was an open bar, so we started to have a few drinks. Then the food came out, it looked really good, the food was setup for buffet. I was half buzzed and looking forward to getting some food in my belly. When it was time to eat every few tables at a time were going to get called which is fine,

    the first few tables that were called were understandably the family of both sides, then the rest were, the problem was that the family members (He's Inlaws) are larger people. Now I don't shame people for how much they eat, but I noticed the helpings of food they had while I was patiently waiting for us to be called, I also noticed that they went for

    seconds before all the tables were called and no one stopped them. I didn't say anything, though I thought that was r_de, I just assumed that there was just alot of food. To my surprise by the time we were called there was nothing left, I asked if there was more coming out and apparently that already occurred. So We grabbed the little we could and

    went back to sit down and ate the scarps. We were all still pretty hungry, and a bit ped off so we kinda bashed talked that the first few tables ate all the food. Someone mentioned that they could go for some pizza, and then I had the drunken idea of ordering some lol. So that is what we did, we all pitched in and ordered 4 large pizzas and some

    chicken wings from a local pizza joint close to the venue so it didn't take long to be delivered. I met the guy outside and brought the food to our table and we started to eat. Some of the other tables noticed and asked where the pizza came from, apparently some of the other tables close to ours didnt get any food either, so we shared with them. This caused

    some commotion because other people were looking for, and asking the wedding party if there was pizza available. I guess there were others that didn't get to eat either. We did share with anyone who asked us. My friend came to talk to me about why I ordered the food, his bride was not happy about it (it ruined the esthetics), so I told him that we didn't get to eat, and that the food ran out

    long before our table was called, and we were really hungry, He then asked why we didn't just step out and eat then come back, though annoyed about that, I respectively explained to him that we were all drinking on an empty stomach and that it probably wasn't the best idea to have dronk people walking around looking for food.I don't think he liked that, but went back to his

    As we were finishing eating. One of the inlaws came to our table and he asked where the pizza came from. This is where I maybe the AH. There were two slices left, I knew he was eyeing them. I asked the other people at my table if they wanted one, everyone declined. This guy then said he'd have one, I then took the two slices I put them on my plate, and started to eat them,

    then looked at him and said something like, "No, you and everyone at your tables had way more then your fare share of the buffet, and ate all of it. This is the reason we ordered food in the first place. And now you have the nerve to ask us to share." He's face went red, and he returned to his table. There was alot discussion going on there, they were all looking back at us with

    daggers. The bride looked even more ticked off at us, she had a bit of an argument with my friend. He eventually came back to tell us we had to leave. I didn't mean to start any problems, so me and my wife called a cab and left. He called me a few days later, and we had a long talk. I explained my perspective, and he agreed that

    his inlaws were really r de for eating all the food and leaving most of the other guests with very little. Alot of people actually complained to him about it, everyone was drinking thinking that there would be food and they were disappointed. He was upset with his inlaws because he told them how many guests there would be and to

    order the food for that many people. He also saw how much they were taking but assumed they ordered enough, he was wrong. He brought this up with his wife, and she said that apparently because the inlaws paid for the alcol and the food they felt entitled to eat what they wanted, she was really mad at them, and reamed them out for tainting her special day. He also

    said alot of the other non family guests started to leave soon after we left because they too were hungry. They still had fun celebrating but it did kinda put a downer on their special day. Out of 70 ppl about 30 left. I also found out that guy that came to our table was his FIL. FIL was really embarrassed by what I said to him, he felt pretty bad

    BarelyHangingOn A family member had a similar sized wedding awhile back. The caterer handed out the same portions to everybody the first time through so that everybody got fed. Seconds were a free for all.
