    I have been to weddings where the cake was beautiful and taste like Sugar Honey Iced Tea. All of my older family members keep saying just make sure the food and cake taste good and you'll be alright!!! so those are my goals Wink

    Bride & Groom interact with guests

    I personally think it is rude if the couple will not come around to every table and truly thank everyone for coming. Making a line at the end of the reception is impersonal to me. JMHO

    I don't think I have a number 5 as a guest.

    Food is not essential to me because we are serving a standard wedding chicken lunch and  I am not trippin. I figure this isn't your last meal nor is it dinner so sit back enjoy the chicken and boogie down.
