    I wouldn't know. I don't have enough (or any) experience of pointing out minor problems to bridal couples.


    Do you have any experience of bridal couples who are savvy enough to notice problems of their own accord, confident enough to ask their guests about those problems, and mature enough to deal with honest feedback?


    I am lucky enough to number that kind of bridal couple amongst my friends.


    I will observe, however, that you still appear to be labouring under the misapprehension that I, and other wedding guests, moaned and whinged and griped among ourselves - before marching up to a blissfully ignorant bridal couple, and giving them chapter and verse on the many failings in their catering choices.


    None of that happened.

    I can't imagine EVER slating a couple's wedding or their meal!

    No way! :eek:

    Not to their face anyway. :rotfl:

    Luckily, none of that has ever happened in my experience.


    Or in BarryBlue's experience either, based on his most recent posting on the subject.


    It appears to be a hypothetical situation which has been repeated so often on an internet site that it has gained the status of 'fact'. Eat your heart out Facebook!


    But it's not fact.
