What's the worst meal you've been served at a wedding?

I'm veggie so unfortunately have had my fair share of shitty wedding meals as the vegetarians often seem to get shafted but this one takes the biscuit. Fancy wedding, very expensive and exclusive venue, meat eaters had a feast and it looked amazing, I was served......a grilled mushroom, and it was cold. This place is probably £100 per head at the very least and the best they could rustle up for a vegetarian was a mushroom. So, make me feel better, what's the worst meal you've been served?

Just a little update to say that our wedding food went down brilliantly on Friday. The savoury buffet (part of the venue package) was better than expected and included salad, spicy chicken and lots of other savoury bits as well as sandwiches, wraps and crisps.

The sweet stuff (doughnuts and homemade brownies, choc chip cookies, rice crispy cakes and cupcakes) were a big hit and everyone complimented the 3 flavour wedding cake.

Sweet table was a hit too and didn't look a bit tacky. Pic of both attached.

I was a bit worried, despite being cross with myself for letting this thread affect me when I know we were giving everyone the best we could afford. But I truly believe everyone enjoyed the food and had plenty to eat. Except me. I didn't eat a thing.. common in brides I think. Wish I could go back and do bits of the day again and this time I'd eat!

Irish weddings are always a champagne reception with canapés then a four course sit down followed by late night buffet and cake, I've never been less than stuffed and I never remember the cake lol. I couldnt cope with the worry of a buffet running out! I've put on buffets for my kids christenings and I always order for more numbers than actually invite. And this business about a show cake is mad! I wonder are they those fake foam cakes covered in icing! Talk about cut backs! Only invite as many people as you can aford to feed for goodness sake!
I've been to some shite irish weddings so. And not an open bar amongst them!
