This Groom Is Fighting His Fiancé Because She Wants To Serve Their Guests Only Finger Foods While They Chow Down On An Entire Roasted Chicken Dinner
From florists to photographers to caterers, weddings are nowhere near a cheap undertaking. Still, one man believes that balling on a budget is not always the best option if it genuinely affects your guests’ experiences.
The man is getting married to his fiancé this year, and they have been navigating the wedding planning together. Well, sort of.
The bride-to-be is a bit overbearing, and most decisions are normally “her way or the highway.” Still, the man highly disagrees with her on one matter– their catered meal.
In an attempt to save money wherever possible, the couple decided to use Publix as their catering service.
The man did not take issue with this, but rather what his fiancé wanted to feed their guests.
“My wife thinks the guests will be okay just eating finger foods such as fruit and vegetable trays, assorted cheeses, wings, and chicken tenders,” the man explained.
And rather than the entire wedding– bride and groom included– eating these hors d’oeuvres, the bride wants her own special spread.
In fact, she planned to order an entire roasted chicken and sides for just her and the man, while everyone else at the wedding reception picked from finger food platters.
“I think it would be incredibly rude to have an openly much better meal than our guests would have; us tearing apart a full bird while they munch on tenders,” the man said.

“Frankly, I would be perfectly fine with just the appetizers for everyone– us included,” he also noted.
Still, when the man brought this up to his fiancé, she was not willing to reconsider. She explained how if their guests ate roast chicken, they would have to shell out thirty dollars per plate.
And, rather than serving just appetizers altogether, the fiancé believes she is entitled to more than everyone else on her big day.
“With every decision we make, she justifies them by saying, ‘It’s OUR wedding! It’s ours, not anybody else’s!” the man explained.
Now, he is stuck between a rock and a hard place. The man does not want to start a huge fuss with his fiancé.
But, he also does not want to be a jerk to his guests.
If you were in the man’s shoes, how would you handle this sticky situation? And if you attended a wedding where they only served guests outside the bridal party appetizers, would you be pissed off?
