For breakfast, my husband and I ate at the hotel (which included breakfast with the room) before we went our separate ways to get ready for the wedding. For lunch, we had a local deli cater mini sandwiches for us and our wedding party/everyone getting ready with us, and we provided assorted chips and beverages to go with the sandwiches.

We had a regular breakfast at home as we had to go set up the venue, it was an early start!
For lunch we had pizza at my mums (my husband had food at our house with his groomsmen) because I thought it was probably the only thing I would manage to eat a bit of whilst feeling super nervous so close to the ceremony lol.
I had a light breakfast with the bridesmaids. I had coffee and some pastries. I was too nervous to eat and worried about not looking good in my dress 😂
Since we aren’t getting married until 5:00 PM, I plan on eating a nice hearty breakfast with plenty of protein. The last thing I want to be is hungry and low energy on my wedding day!
For breakfast I grabbed a protein bar before my mom and I went to meet my BMs and MIL at the salon for hair. Then we all went to the venue for make up, etc. and around "lunchtime" I had the coordinator bring the trays (we got them at the grocery store) of meat/cheese, veggies, fruit, etc. that I had put in the venue's fridge the night before up to the getting ready room. (The guys had identical trays for their getting ready area.) I chose to go a direction where I could "pick" rather than have a full meal, because my stomach tends to get weird when I'm nervous.
We got breakfast from Dunkin Donuts which included donuts and bagels. Our venue had coffee available to us so I didn't have to buy that. For lunch I ordered a pizza for everyone. My husband and his guys did their own thing. I believe they got Sheetz (gas station that has made to order food) for breakfast and for lunch I think they got sandwiches.
I had pastries, an egg and sausage casserole and fruit spread for all my girls for breakfast (hair and makeup started at 7), i had a tiny piece of the casserole and like 2 strawberries. I had too many emotions to eat much. For lunch our venue provided wraps and salads but that was when we were doing our first look so I didn't eat then either. We had some of our appetizers provided in our suite during cocktail hour for just the two of us and I ate a few of them (while doing a hair change) but again not much because once my hair was done, we wanted to go back out to mingle with our guests. then same thing with dinner, we had a private dinner in the suite, but both of us really just were energized and wanted to have fun with our guests and I think I ate maybe 5-6 bites. I think all day I ate maybe one meal's worth of food.
We ate fruit and egg cups because I was heeding some advice I read to avoid carbs/heavy things/to avoid feeling bloated. Big mistake!! We were starving! It was a fine snack but we needed more. We found goldfish crackers where we are getting ready and totally devoured them 🤣
An Egg bagel sandwich sustained me for most of the day as I ate little at my wedding. I was a little bloated from mimosas with family, but I had been looking forward to getting ready time with them and have no regrets.
I eat pretty much the same thing for breakfast every morning, so I ate my usual breakfast the morning of my wedding.
I also packed my usual lunch but didn’t eat it because I left it in the car accidentally. I think I had a seltzer while we were waiting for the ceremony to start because there was one sitting around.
I'm planning to ask one of my bridesmaids to pick up coffee, another to bring the mimosa stuff, and then I'll probably DoorDash breakfast from Panera or Dunkin or someplace like that. Hair & makeup starts at 7:30 and we're leaving by 12:30, so I definitely want something, but idk if I'll eat a ton.
I probably will not eat or drink much because my ceremony starts at 11am, I am not a big breakfast person, I need to get in my dress and once I am in the dress going to the restroom will be interesting!
I ate breakfast as my ceremony wasn't until 6 PM and I couldn't go all day without eating. I knew once I had my hair and makeup done I wouldn't be eating anything. So I had some fruit and half a bagel. I also got some pastries for my bridal party to much on while they got their hair and makeup done. My MOH brought me a Starbucks as well.
