I am going to have to agree with future dad in law here. Anytime I have gone to weddings and spend all that time and money only to get a salad bar or something I feel hangry and irked a bit. Yes it is your day and everything is about y'all, but at the same time, to me at least, its just common decency to fill the guests up for their time and efforts to come celebrate that day with you all as well. Just asked my wife and she agrees as well with my sentiments and your future father in laws. You can still offer little higher end dishes if you want, but have something else on the side for people that want to eat their fill and enjoy themselves. You definitely don't want a mass amount of hangry guests on your hands.

I can tell you feel horrible about this. I know you feel like you effed up and you did, (can't lie, but it's just about selecting the "best" pictures really). The fact that you are so concerned about your girlfriend's body issues and you realized it as you were going through them is very telling. I don't think you're as horrible as you think you are. Hopefully your gf and you can move on from this together.

Seems to me it was a good thing you kept talking so that now you know that the food you had planned will not be adequate. I think your fiance is right that yall need to change that but if you decide to continue on as planned be prepared for people to leave early so they can go eat real food. Also be prepared for people to call in food in bring in outside food to your venue

Maybe do a late night snack! My fiancé and I are doing a chicago dog cart to come out around 10 pm (getting married in Chicago). We aren’t going to have enough hot dogs for every guest because we don’t expect each person to be hungry again after our reception meal. But, late night snacks have become super popular and could be a fun way to add filling food without compromising your haute cuisine.

FIL had a hunch of her daughter's choise of food and wanted to say something without being pushy. There was no f up here, this is a saver.

It really is a f up to not serve people food that makes them feel full in a whole day of partying. It is not fancy if people are getting grumpy and dizzy for not eating properly on your special day.

Noo? You're speaking out of your ass. By "higher end smartphones", I'm guessing you mean Iphones? They are definitely available in Asia, but are not as popular because there are so many other options which are better and cheaper. And you did not just say that people in Asia don't understand how powerful a smartphone is lmaoo. Asia is home to some of the biggest tech giants in the world. Most of the people have smartphones. People there aren't dumber than the west. Shut your mouth if you don't know what you're talking about.

A 14 year old “dating” an 11 year old makes my stomach turn a bit to think about and I’m sad that no one (parents, family, friends) called this out/intervened on your behalf even without knowing other details. For your sake, I’m glad that person is out of your life for good. For others’ sake, I hope he got psychological help. I’m glad you are considering the work of healing because you deserve that.

Honestly? I'd be pretty mad if I showed up for a wedding and was treated with the ridiculously small portions characteristic of supposed "fine dining".

A wedding is not only a ceremony to unite two people, it's also a celebration of their bond! By this logic, you should eat like it's a celebration, damnit!

But hey, that's just me. And your fiancee's dad, evidently.

I've been to quite a few weddings where there was a super formal meal at 6 to go along with speeches and that part of the evening, then around 9:30 or so, second dinner was served and was usually sandwiches, dessert trays, greasy finger foods, and the like. Definitely a big hit, especially when a lot of folks have been drinking for a good portion of the day and they need something in their bellies to help absorb it all :)
