Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I was in it so I first told her - don't even pay for me I'll bring my own but she said just tell me what you need I'll have the chefs do it - petrified I prayed before i ate my steak with sliced avocados on hte side- LOL but all was fine -I had 3 hard boiled eggs to eat slowly during cocktail hour/salad time (I ate soup at her house - chicken/carrots in the limo) so I wasn't very hungry arriving then when dessert came I drank my smoothie brought a banana too but got too full -anyway - as a guest I probably wouldn't have such treatment - so I'm comtemplating 2 wedding s we have this year but will either not go ( I always send hubby and stay with the kids anyway) or go and bring most of my stuff and call ahead to the reception place to let them know my steak has to be done in a gluten- free environment with nothing on it but oil/salt - and see what they say we shouldn't miss out - if you want to go they should accomodate - there are so many allergies now that most chefs are used to it but go above/beyond explaining so they don't screw up!!! eileen > > > > was in my friends wedding yesterday and low and behold I have > > cramping/soft formed BM and 1 extra than usual - (probably stress??) > > so I go back to some soup I had frozen and once again it saved me - I > > recommend to anyone keeping some frozen for bad moments - I rarely have > > this but twice now in 6 weeks big occasions were saved by soup > > just thought I'd share > > eileen 4 months > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
