Guest guest Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I always eat before the wedding. If the reception is at a different place than the ceremony I might stop and eat on the way over to the reception. Our weddings tend to go from about noon until midnight so I keep a few protein bars in my purse or I'll duck out to get a quick bite at a nearby restaurant. From: benicia236 <benicia236@...>Subject: [ ] Enjoying a wedding Date: Saturday, May 8, 2010, 11:44 AM Hello all: I'm to attend three wedding events at the end of this month. I'm looking for tips on how to manage, given it's likely to have few GF choices. Any advice you have is welcome. Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She clearly was relieved when I said I'd bring my own "picnic basket".

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I've had good experiences contacting the caterer myself, if the wedding couple doesn't mind. I explain that my diet's a little complicated so it would be easier for me to speak with them directly. --lp ________________________________________ From: [ ] On Behalf Of Harper [flatcat9@...] Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2010 12:48 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Enjoying a wedding >> I'm to attend three wedding events . . . looking for tips on how to manage . .. .

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Talk to the wedding couple and find out if they can contact their caterer or give you the information so that you can talk to them. I've had very good luck with professional caterers. I usually get a rather bland broiled chicken meal but (knock wood) I've always been OK when they have been forewarned. Have a great time. cheryl b.From: benicia236 <benicia236@...>Subject: [ ] Enjoying a wedding Date: Saturday, May 8, 2010, 11:44 AM Hello all: I'm to attend three wedding events at the end of this month.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 I agree; in most situations, that will work very well.
