Food is what we live for. It is the nutritional need of every living being. No, it is not just a need. Food is love. Well, a way of expressing love, I mean. A wedding is a show of love, so food needs to display affection as well. The right mood can go up in the air the moment bad food touches your tongue.
Guests remember two things about weddings. Whether they had a good time and if they were fed well. The ceremony, the flowers, the music, no one remembers that. All of it fades into a warm collective memory. But cold food, long waits between courses, or running out of appetizers during cocktail hour? People will be bad-mouthing for years.
