Groomsman Orders Some Pizzas During Vegetarian Wedding Because There Was Nothing To Eat, Bride Says She Won’t Forgive Him
Recently, a 36-year-old groomsman shared an incident that happened at his long time friend Sara’s wedding. “I’m on medication for anxiety and depression that has to be taken at a certain time of the day and also requires food, so I asked Sara what time the food would be served,” the author, who goes by the handle u/pizzaweddingthrow, shared some background information in the post on the AITA subreddit.
Turns out, this was a vegetarian wedding, which the author assured was no problem to him at all. “The only issue I had was when I found out the size of the meals,” he said and added that “The entire course consisted of a side salad, a side of corn, and a side of broccoli…” As you may suspect, this was far from enough for a groomsman of 6’2″, 185 lbs.
So he came up with a plan to “covertly” order some pizza, sneak out from the reception and grab a few slices… What he didn’t know was that he was far from the only guest at the wedding with a grumbling stomach.
Recently, a groomsman at a vegetarian wedding has shared how he covertly ordered some pizzas to snack in his car since the portions at the reception were very small

To find out an expert’s take on this whole incident, Bored Panda spoke with Aurelie Della Maggiore, the wedding planner and wedding designer based in the French Alps from Lucy Till French Weddings. Aurelie said that from her experience, she has never heard about guests being unsatisfied with the wedding dinner portions, and added “it’s also the caterer’s responsibility to recommend the right amount of food per guest.”
“Here the issue is really more about feeding your bridal party during the day prior to the wedding dinner,” she said and added that “Sometimes brides and grooms are focused on the wedding itself and forget about the rest of the day that could be long prior to the wedding.”
Aurelie believes that “it would have been good to think about feeding the bridal party and at least make sure to have snacks available to avoid that situation.”
“We usually take care of the bridal party from the day before the wedding and no one gets hungry. That’s why it’s always good to hire a wedding planner,” the professional wedding planner concluded.
And this is what people had to say about this whole situation
The article is missing a crucial plot point - that THE GROOM WAS EATING THE PIZZA AS WELL. It skipped an image, I guess, in which that's explained, hence the bride found out what's going on...
And look at the person who didn't get blamed.

ESH. The lack of food is awful, but you could have handled this better. No one could blame you for discretely eating a sandwich or something. Ordering pizza and talking about it is not very gentleman-like.
Where exactly was he supposed to get the sandwich though? I've certainly never taken a sandwich with me to a wedding. He was hungry. He bought his own food. Why is that a problem?

He was hungry and had a right to eat. Period. I went to a wedding 20 some years ago. I was the date of a former sorority sister of the bride. She was a bit of a rock n roll chick. Her reception was huge and the food service was painfully slow. And as it would turn out, they were running out of food. We were the last table and the table before us pretty much cleaned out what was left of the food. 15 minutes later five pizzas and sides arrived and was delivered to our table. Wonder who sent us? The Bride!!!!! That's show cool she was. Boils down to this, if you tell people you are feeding them at your wedding, feed them a goddamn meal and not a few pieces of lettuce and some broccoli. He was in the right.
And I'm married and planned my own wedding. We made it clear to our guests that we would be passing a lot of horderves, but it was not a meal. Our wedding and reception were all of three hours. Let your guests truly know what to expect. If someone had ordered more food at my reception, I would have probably offered to pay for it.
