You won’t believe what happened at a wedding last night

Blush (no I’m not the guest in question)

Evening guests turned up at 7pm. Around 8pm bride and groom decided to cut the cake. Only to find cake had already been cut by a hungry guest ShockShockShock

Cake in question was a three tiered cake made of different cheeses. Surrounded by grapes and crackers/biscuits. No little bride and groom on top.

An absolute war broke out about it. Half the people saying well, how were they supposed to know it was the cake, other half saying it was pretty obvious.

Cake was in a separate room to the bar and dance floor. Bride in tears (or tiers boom boom).

Around three or four people had taken some of the cake by the time they realised!

I went to a wedding once where they had a giant pork pie instead of a conventional wedding cake. I was most disappointed, love a bit of cake and I hate pork pies.

What I want to know is, will they still keep a tier of the cake for the Christening of first born baby Bel?

That could get a bit wiffy, couldn't it, in the top of your wardrobe or bottom drawer.

Did the bride walk up the aisle to Wagner's Briedal March?

Did the happy couple sign the register to Bach's "Cheesus Joy of Manchego's Desiring"?

This has had me in hysterics and I don't even like cheese Grin

MrsNjie · 02/01/2019 23:06

Does the bride usually overreact to things not going to plan? Seems a bit extreme to cry about it! Also questions arise over whether they provided enough food if guests start searching in other rooms... Hilarious! I would have laughed.

BlackBeltInPresentWrapping · 02/01/2019 23:09

I am worried about going to bed now after all this cheese so late.

Hopefully not a night of bad/weird dreams and indigestion!

Please tell me that it was a church wedding and Jerusalem was one of the hymns? With apologies to William Blake and the WI. Grin

And did those feet in recent times
Walk upon England's Stilton cheese?
And was the holey Emmental
To blame for one poor bride's unease?

And was the Danish Blue divine
Consumed by one rude eager guest?
Or was it nibbled by a mouse; a rodent: what a cheeky pest!

Bring me my Bow of burning gold
Bring me my mousetrap of desire!
Bring me my cat, oh claws unfold!
Bring me my chilli cheese of fire!

I will not cease from this my fight
Nor shall my cat rest in my lap
Til I have stopped this wretched mouse
And caught the bugger in this trap!

It would really tickle me if cheesecake had been on the choice of desserts after the wedding breakfast.

Think of the arguments it could cause every time she complained about her husbands (e)dam socks.

Habibi27 · 02/01/2019 23:38

Hard cheese.

BSintolerant · 02/01/2019 23:39

You know what they say Brizzle: cheesy feet - cheesy socks.

BSintolerant · 02/01/2019 23:40

Who would want to keep cheese in their drawers? 😂

SinisterBumFacedCat · 02/01/2019 23:44

Sounds crackers.

selepele · 02/01/2019 23:46

It’s safe to safe the bride was cheesed off or is that being cheesy

EugenesAxe · 02/01/2019 23:53

Cheese cakes have been around for a while - I first registered them as a 'thing' about 10 years ago - but being in tears over it seems a bit OTT. I would have laughed had it been my wedding; would have been a good excuse to say "OK, which guest cut the cheese?!"

Haven't RTFT so apols if already punned.

HowDoIGetOffTheBus · 02/01/2019 23:53

Sweet dreams are made of cheese
Who am I to dis-a-brie?

indianbackground · 02/01/2019 23:55

By the time they noticed it was a feta compli.

BlackBeltInPresentWrapping · 03/01/2019 00:04

I was contemplating something by Benjamin Brietten or Edamward Elgar, but I prefer BS's Jerusalut.

It's got me thinking....

Perhaps we should do a MN calendar for charity, inspired by Calendar Girls and the WI, but with cheeses placed strategically instead of cakes.

She could have processed it better.

Cheese us christ!
This thread has really cheered me up! Grin

One assumes the cheese deficit meant the resultant traditional wedding toast was somewhat...dry.

I wish I could tell you good people that such villainous cheevery was rarebit in fact [[http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/10/21/cheese-is-the-most-stolen-food-on-earth/
cheese theft is truly a scandalous epidemic.]]

BlackBeltInPresentWrapping · 03/01/2019 01:10

Some of these cheesy puns, (mine included), are scraping the bottom of the Cracker Barrel.

Vivianebrezilletbrooks · 03/01/2019 01:12

Hahaha they've only got themselves to blame. If there was nothing to mark that it was the wedding cake then the guest can't be blamed.
The bride in tears? I'd have to leave the room I'd be laughing too much!
An old school friend of mine had a wedding last year, I wasn't invited but I saw the pictures. It looked like a train wreck! I wouldn't have been surprised if the same thing had happened to her!!!!
You could say the bride was being unbriesonable!
Gouda'd believe it?
Was the wedding in Cheshire or Wensleydale?
Not much Roquefort went into the cake then!
Oh I had to join in! Grin
