Wedding on 10/10

[Pillar2butterfly 391]

Ok...I'm freaking out. One of my best friends from childhood is getting married on 10/10...I have to drive out of town for the wedding. I'm freaking out about the food....I'm freaking out about all the liquor I know will be there.

My friend and her family are all obese...so I don't know what to expect of the menu...so I was planning on bringing a pouch of tuna...my question...is that RUDE to not eat the meal they paid for me to eat?

Also, do you think a glass of champagne is going to do me in? I haven't had a drop of alcohol since 8/9 (10 days prior to surgery)...I was never a huge drinker (just occasional)...but it's a wedding for crying out loud! LOL

Don't you think there will be chicken or some form of Protein at the wedding? I have been to several weddings and fancy parties since I was sleeved three months ago, and there was always something good to choose. (Lots of bad stuff, too, but plenty of fine choices if I chose to make them). Personally, I would lay off the alcohol for a little while longer.

I'm afraid that it will be something like pasta/baked ziti etc. I could just ask her too

Also, I'm not talking about drinking all night, I'm talking about a little champagne especially during toasting time.

I'd be happy with salad at this point and eat some Protein before we get there.

I'm sure they will have things like shrimp cocktail and assorted cheeses . Most likely, there will be a beef, chicken or fish entree. Best bet is to just come right out and ask her what she is serving . Brides love to discuss all the details of their wedding. You can shove a single tuna packet in your purse just incase. As far as the champagne goes, I don't have an answer for that. Have fun !!

Well let me know. My situation is a little more hectic. My best friend is getting married on 10/24 and surgery is 10/19 so I'm sure I should take a shake or something with me. Maybe she'll have a Soup on the menu but I don't want to not go. I honestly don't know what to do. Any advice

Soup and a shake or two sound like a good plan. You will do just fine ????
