The worst wedding ever!

Salad and croissants after a 3 and 1/2 hour wait at a dear friend's wedding. Love them to death but that kinda sucked. They did have delicious cake and eventually some dancing but we missed the dancing because I had to work an overnight shift.

Are we talking greens salad or chicken salad (makes it slightly better if it's a salad you're supposed to eat on bread). Did they have cake?

What?! Ohh man, I purposely don't eat the entire day when I attend weddings because I've been so used to bounty of food at weddings. I'd be pretty shocked.

Oh dear lord!! that's god awful.

The sad thing is that the couple will probably be telling other people about what a success their wedding was and how no one minded that they didn't have a meal or alcohol.

The Craigslist part got me.. dang haha

That sounds ridiculous! But the tip of the spear for me was the Craigslist BM. Wha??????

Oh, you mean their friend and family didn't care (except you)? That they didn't love the couple so much that the mere transcendent joy of seeing the couple swear their love for each other wasn't enough to counteract the total lack of hospitality?

Shame on you for judgmental attitude on their 'special day' You know it's all about them, right?

BS. That is horrible. What a way to treat people you *care* about...

I'm not a fan of 'worse wedding' stories when the things that make it horrible are totally out of the couples' control, but that is almost never the case. Rain? Should have had a plan B. Food and alcohol? Yes. Lateness? Just don't. Those are just basics and considering them usually will make a wedding okay, if not spectacular. No one ever left a wedding muttering, 'damn....no favors. Those centerpieces ruined my night." And no one ever will.

Oh my...that sounds dreadful.

What the hell. Salad and bread? I can't.

Were they serving the Olive Garden lunch special?

Literally sounds like my personal hell. Well done to you for sticking it out. No alcohol would've had me running for the hills.

@KristenB - the lunch special @ Olive Garden serves soup so this couple saved even MORE money by not serving soup.

Last year I went to a dry, self-catered, destination wedding over Labor Day weekend in a super rural area that didn't have any hotels.

Lmbooo I have nothing but yall took me out with the olive garden special lol that olive garden salad is good but not good enough to make you forget there's no more food lol I just cant!

Wow....just wow. They should've just kept it simple with a pretty courthouse wedding or something if they could only afford to provide guests with salad and bread. I would've been so angry as a guest.

I don't understand why people do no offer alcohol, even beer or just wine would do it.

How do you find a BM on Craigslist? Post an ad that says "I'm getting married,need someone to stand by me?" LMBO!! What movie was Kevin Hart in that he paid someone to be his best man?

This is probably the worst thing I've ever read. I'd be so tempted to take my card/gift back! FH and I have had to leave weddings to go get food on the way home before because we were not fed/fed enough.

Salad, bread and lemonade?? Was the salad from Olive Garden at least? No

DJ, or anyone that played music from a phone at least? Wow lol.
