to think I am going to be starving at this wedding?

[Aztecprint6]

Wedding breakfast is at 4:30pm.

Evening food will be wedding cake and some cheese.

AIBU to think I am going to have to bring along a sandwich and some late night snacks?

@PurpleDaisies well it’s kind of both! And you have been talking about feeling faint/passing out in your earlier posts

Yes, there was one wedding I was at where the food came two hours after the advertised time. The ceremony was 1pm. Food supposedly 5pm but only started being served at 7pm and it was melon. Hot day, lots of walking around for photos, no canapés. I wasn’t the only one not enjoying that.

One post.

Often people are travelling far to a wedding. You could have breakfast at 10am and may not eat dinner until 6pm. I take a cereal bar in my bag to eat at 2 or 3pm. I have tried 'fasting' but I got so nauseous that I couldn't eat the dinner at 7pm and had to look for crackers. This is WAY more embarrassing than having a cereal bar or sandwich in the car.

Also I only drink a glass of wine with dinner. If I am very hungry I find it hard in the pub. Everyone is having alcoholic drinks. I have mineral water when I would really like a sandwich and a cup of tea. Cola makes the hunger worse.

I think a lot of people drink to excess at weddings and this masks the hunger to a certain extent.

I know some people can blot out the hunger and concentrate on the celebration but if you are nauseous you won't enjoy the celebration anyway.

@user1471554720 no one will be “nauseous” with hunger after eating what will likely be a three course wedding breakfast starting at 4.30pm. If someone is, they’ve got a problem

Or the food provided is not filling enough.

Just out of interest, are you a vegetarian or not?

@EeeICouldRipATissue I used to be a vegetarian but now I eat fish and sometimes chicken. When I was vegetarian I had no issues with finding the food less filling, needing big portions, lots of snacks etc. Sometimes the veggie food could be more filling than the meat version

You've been lucky at weddings then.
My experience of veggie wedding food has been absolutely tiny portions - Eg main course of roasted red peppers, dessert a small bowl of fruit salad.
The fancier the place, usually the worse it is.
It's not being greedy for that not to fill you up for the day, especially if it's your main meal.
Nor does it make you an alcoholic to get pissed easily on more than two glasses of wine (which is easily doable after a toast and a glass or two during the day/during your so called filling main meal)
Most people would be unless they're totally hardcore!

I will say I have sympathies with vegetarians being given rubbish meals, and that should really have gone out in the last century. Many people are vegetarian and they should be catered for adequately. Veggies on here have obviously had a rough deal at a wedding, and that is wrong.

However, for anyone else, it is beyond my comprehension why this forthcoming wedding would not be perfectly adequate!
I just wonder how the OP knows that it will just be cheese and nothing else in the evening. I would love to know how.... is it a relation, a friend, and has she told you that there will be nothing accompanying the cheese because I just don't believe that. I am sure there will be plenty to go with the cheese like crackers, bread, fresh fruit, chutneys, pickles etc.

Weddings are weird situations where you’re at the mercy of your hosts making good choices for everyone. That’s pretty hard to get right
Never a truer word said as can be illustrated by this thread!

I do think some are looking for problems when there might well be no problems!

I didn't say 'after'. I meant that if you were not eating for 8 hours, then you may want something light and may find 3 courses sickening. The point of eating sonething small at 2 or 3 pm is to prevent this nausea. Please don't comment if you cannot read my post properly.

Why in god's name would you not be eating for 8 hours?

Have breakfast!
Have lunch!

If you choose to not eat for 8 hours and then be unable to face 3 courses, honestly honestly that is down to you

I'd be having a hefty breakfast or lunch on the way to the wedding to soak up the drink before the meal

I was just gonna say….why wouldn’t you be eating for 8 hours before the wedding breakfast?!

We secretly left a wedding, and had Chinese food a block away, and then returned to the (home)reception unnoticed! Thank God for that resturant being so close and fast! Because there was nothing but canapés, frm 3 pm to after midnight. If you are discreet b&g will not know, but if you need to eat, then do it. My dp is diabetic and I am lactose intolerant so we'd try to have a picnic supper stashed in our hotel room, or car.

I think it’s different entirely if you have medical problems

This is getting so odd. The op isn’t a vegetarian and I don’t think the poster purple daises is going to the wedding, or why he or she is so worried about how drunk they will be and how filling vegetarian food is.

The op is asking advise for herself, she’s not a vegetarian and has not indicated she is concerned thay she can’t control her alcohol intake.

Everyone else is answering about if they’d be hungry or not and I don’t know how we have segwayed into purple daisies being a veggie who likes a good drink

Omg you sound exhausting. Dramaqueen much...

Purple daisies and myself just saying it's not always a case of people are just greedy pigs who also need to drink less which some seem to think it's always that cut and dried.
People on a thread replying with their own experiences shocker
Are you new to forums and how they work?

Some people are just greedy though. It’s a trait that does exist. More bothered about food and want more than others. It’s not the worst thing to be in the world 🤷‍♀️

One of my in-laws orders pizzas for the table while everyone’s choosing what to order.

Never seen anyone else do it though, seemed excessive to me.

At a wedding? When people are actually sitting down for the meal?

What, at a wedding?!

🤣🤣
Unless you mean she orders pizza to the table from the wedding venue kitchen, but nope that's still weird as fuck lol

No in a restaurant. Most of it went in the bin & someone else footed the bill.

Last meal out I had with them.

That is so strange! A pizza starter 😮

Every time I post about my in-laws people are shocked.

You wouldn’t believe 10% of it.
