First of all, he found out that his brother planned on inviting two hundred and fifty people. Plus, every single guest was allowed to bring a plus-one.
Next, his brother wanted a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres passed on trays. Exactly what food his brother planned to offer during cocktail hour has yet to be determined.
However, his brother did outline a very specific and complicated main course– which he, of course, wants to be plated instead of being served buffet style.
For the beef dish option, his brother expects him to prepare filet mignon, Yorkshire pudding, and roasted asparagus.
As for the poultry dish option, he was enlisted to cook red current glazed duck breast, fondant potatoes, and grilled Brussels sprouts.
His brother could not forget a vegetarian option, either, and opted to select chickpea bolognese with cauliflower pasta and mushroom gratin.
Finally, his brother also picked out some extravagant desserts to wrap up the evening. He is expected to bake a collection of choux pastries along with mini cheesecakes.
Now, as if this menu was not already going to be exorbitantly expensive, he claimed that the situation got even worse– because apparently, it costs a whopping one thousand dollars just to rent out the kitchen at his brother’s wedding venue!
He did reveal that the rental cost includes the cleaning fee, which is one upside. However, the venue will not even provide any cookware or utensils.
“And I’ll have to pay for additional cooks, servers, bartenders, bussing staff, and the serving ware,” he added.
So, if you could not have guessed, he is beyond furious. He claims that the most frustrating part about this entire situation, though, was his parents.
