Hell, this was like the first thing Trev and I talked about.
We wanted something easy and delicious.
This isn't a fancy luncheon either.
Mainly just a meet-and-greet, eat some food, hang out thing.
Like a mini party before the wedding.
No big fuss.
So, pulled pork sandwiches, chips, and some salads sounded great.
And don't forget the Mountain Dew.
Buy some buns.
Get some salads together.
Bags of chips on sale.
Plates, napkins, cups, plastic forks & spoons.
Throw some pulled pork from Springville Meats in the crockpot.
Enough for 85 - 100 people.
Done.
A lot cheaper than having someone cater the event.
Then Mom and Dad started having second thoughts about the food.
"We have a lot to do on the wedding day... we really don't want to do everything ourselves."
Mom began calling places who cater.
Costa Vida... Texas Roadhouse... Zupas... Dickies BBQ...
And guess what?
For 85 - 100 people, that's like over $1000.
Our original idea was a hell of a lot cheaper.
Then you have to think about who's actually going to be there.
Since we're getting married at 5 p.m.,
the luncheon would be at like 11:30 a.m.
What are the Cedar City relatives going to do for four hours,
in between the luncheon and the ceremony?
I'm not going to be able to entertain them.
Trev might be able to, but still.
Besides that, is 11:30 too early for a luncheon?
Would our Cedar relatives even come?
Would we have time after the luncheon to clean up, finish setting up, get me ready, get Trev ready, and then get married?
Would it all be rushed?
Woe #53: The wedding luncheon would be a lot easier if we were getting married in the temple.
Why?
Because everyone invited to the temple ceremony would then travel from the temple to the reception center for the luncheon.
It's kind of an expected thing if you get married in the temple.
That's the place where you socialize, since the temple is, well, holy.
You eat lunch.
You socialize.
You go home.
You come back to the reception.
The end.
