Bad Weddings

They can eat what they want, my eldest is vegan but what i am calling out is that some won't cater for meat eaters where we will cater for them.

I find it really weird that people who aren't vegetarian or vegan must be fed meat or animal produce in order to feel 'catered for'. It's still food - and at a wedding, presumably free - and isn't going to kill you.

I'm neither veggie or vegan. Meat, eggs etc. are all preferences rather than requirements.

The food was crap, sausage rolls were disguised mushrooms etc.
If it was a sunday dinner without meat, which I regularly eat, that would be fine but they had even done the veg in a really weird way.
You weren't there so pointless you posting.
I don't need meat but what we were given was awful.
None of us understood why we were given stuff that looks like meat but it wasn't.

I'm intrigued about the sausage/mushroom roll subterfuge.

Did the sudden realisation of the contents inititate some sort of horrific gag reflex?

^^ why is this not a film? I would watch this movie.

"even the goats and llamas wouldn't touch them" is the header, where are my creatives? Come on!

You wouldn't, while we were watching the Highland themed wedding the goats and llamas were part of it crapping all over the place.
I'll tell you what though, the family never stop talking about how bad it was so we'll never forget it.
Mrs just reminded me that during the service a goat headbutted my niece and she had a complete meltdown which caused a 5 minute delay :)

Liger.

e: A liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger, primarily known for being the largest existing feline in the world, often weighing over 900 pounds (450 kg). They possess a unique combination of traits, including a love for swimming like tigers, high sociability like lions, and a faint striped coat.

My dad ran a Outside Catering company for a good number of years. On one event between a very well todo young man and a less affluent young woman from a Council Estate in East Hull was probably the one I remember being by far the worst by a long way whilst working for my dad's company.
The highlights ( or rather low lights) I remember:
- the grooms mum wore black an cried throughout, saying her boy was being taken from her, during the wedding breakfast and speeches
- after the church but before the meal the grooms father( and grooms mums ex partner) disappeared not to return saying "this is why I left you"
- the breakfast/lunch event was paid by the brides family and was quite smaller family affair
unfortunately the grooms mum was paying for the night time disco and buffet for extended family and friends
- at this night time disco the grooms mum tried to convince the event security to evict the brides father and uncle and nearly succeeded. This led to growing tensions between the two families who turned into increasingly drunken agitating factions at 21:00 we closed buffet and relocated to the car park just in time to see the first beer bottle fly! followed by the brides sister leaping the freshly emptied buffet table screaming "you ruined her day you b*tch" and grabbing the grooms mum by her hair

Went to a friend's 40th birthday get together at a kinda holiday camp place in Holland last year. Kinda a small butlins type deal....was kinda cool for 100-odd people to get together. Anyway, she's vegan, so all food was vegan. I don't normally mind tbh.....but jesus. For lunch we got served what was meant to celeriac soup. Now I love celeriac, but this was basically just water. Served with....white bread.

Sat there in this camp with rows of dorms, starving hungry, eating this gruel slop and dunking bread. Glad there weren't any old people there that remember the death camps.

I go on holiday once a month so during evening meals I will always have what could be referred to as Vegan Soup, mainly vegetables not eaten the previous day and turned into liquid. I've also chose Vegan Chicken soup off a menu and it's tasted fine so why did the soup at the Vegan Wedding taste awful?
We weren't even given bread either.

I forgot about the best bit, the main meal.
We had to choose off a menu one of three pies, yes pies at a wedding meal but perfect for a commoner like me.
Knowing two of them were 'vegan meat' based I knew they would be awful because I've tried all the meat dishes my daughter has at our house and they are bad.
I chose a vegetable based pie.
The meal came and I've already said the potatoes and peas were awful, why was the taste changed I have no idea but it was good to see even the Vegans had not ate much of them either.
I dug into the pie, the pastry was fine so I then took my first mouthful and nearly spat it out.
Bloke next to me saw the look on my face and said "What have you had?" so I said "Cabbage and cauliflower cheese pie".
He said "You don't eat the cheese, it hasn't been perfected yet" and all the others agreed. I turned to my daughter on the table behind to tell her and she said the same thing "Never eat the cheese". (Although two years on she did bring a cheese based product the other week saying the cheese isn't too bad now).
Anyway, I emptied out the pie and ate the pastry.

Second worst wedding was my mate Andy.
He booked my band for entertainment but we never got to play.
We were setup and everybody started to come in the hall and my mates sister decided to have a go at the Brides family saying she was a gold digger, my mate was a line worker on Creda/Hotpoint :)
Anyway it turned into a full cowboy scene with one family against the other and my band and around 5 fellow workmates guarding our band equipment.
The wedding was over 10 minutes after people walked in :(
Both of them are still together about 15 years on, moved out of the area and never spoken to their families since then.

This is why my wife and me "eloped" (as close as you can in the UK), booked a cottage on a farm near Gretna Green and got married at Auchen Castle.

Saves the hassle of dealing with both sets of parents (divorced, and not too amicable).

Wow so you expected it would be a ruined wedding :(

I've just remembered two weddings I ruined :)
Playing in bands I often get asked to do parties/weddings etc and I'm always very cautious so I ask the right questions:
"You might like Heavy Rock and follow us around but what about the people coming?" ..... "Don't worry they are all Rockers".
At both venues we kicked in and all the wedding reception walked out :) One was in Winter and they all chose to stand outside in the cold :)
Even both DJs walked out.
At one of the weddings the couple stayed in for the one hour set on their own but at the other the couple went outside with everybody else with the groom coming in every now and then.
I totally refuse to do weddings now.
 
We tried to tell Tess to not marry Brian, but she explained that they had been seeing each other since school and they were so much in love.

Anyway after much advice she ignored us and ended up marrying Brian Tickle.

True story bro
