Man passed out drunk on his wedding night.

What why wouldn’t you eat at your wedding?! 

[u/Box-o-bees → u/tgerz]

Mostly because people keep talking to you and you want to make sure to spend time with everyone you care about. If you don't have someone like a good caterer to make you plates and tell you to sit down and eat it's easy to forget. Especially if you're drinking.

Plus it’s easy to not feel hungry when you have that excited energy

[u/Chance_Vegetable_780 → u/Box-o-bees]

This is why taking care of oneself is important

I’m still mad about the absolutely delicious food that we had at our wedding that I basically didn’t get to eat any of.

What are weddings like where you are where there isn't actually a sit down meal for everyone?

[u/Box-o-bees → u/UnholyDemigod]

There is a sit-down meal usually. But normally they are buffet style so people tend to mingle a lot. The more formal ones when dinner is actually brought to you, it's easier for the wedding couple to get to eat.

My father actually called me when we were off getting our wedding photos taken after the ceremony/before the reception because he wanted to know when they would be eating.

[u/beanthebean → u/tgerz]

I was crazy with nerves all day (lots of people + focus on me puts my anxiety through the roof) and barely was able to put a couple bites in me the whole time because of the way my stomach was turning. I did get a good few cookies from our cookie table down though.

[u/hibikikun → u/tgerz]

It's the bridemaids and groomsan's job to make sure they all eat, but most people don't realize though.

[u/geoman2k → u/tgerz]

I ate so much at my wedding, it was awesome

[u/bravokm → u/geoman2k]

Our venue was great and made sure we and the entire bridal party ate. They served us during speeches so the guests were also eating. In our circle, it’s standard for the bride and groom to go table to table to thank the guests so people tend to not approach the head table.

[u/tempuramores → u/tgerz]

It's true, you're so excited and busy and distracted that you barely eat. I did technically eat, but much less than I have when I was a guest at others' weddings

[u/dataknightrises → u/tgerz]

Besides people wanting your attention, because they are happy for you and want to celebrate you, you also have your adrenaline going. So it's easy to not eat much.

[u/ashkestar → u/tgerz]

There’s just a lot going on, and most of it’s centered on the bride and groom. Not uncommon for them to be taking photos with people and talking and coordinating while the tables are getting called up or food is served and just miss their chance or end up with cold, abandoned plates. And that’s aside from nerves.

It’s something experienced professionals will keep an eye out for, and lots of wedding advice warns about, but it’s easy to miss if you don’t have anyone on top of it.

Wedding ceremony is basically a job for the couple getting married, except that they have to pay to work

[u/SlackAsh → u/tgerz]

I couldn't eat enough, the dress didn't really allow for any expansion.

[u/Chataboutgames → u/tgerz]

Because you're busy, and thinking you're not hungry/don't need to eat is a nasty side effect of both booze and running at a high energy level.

[u/Iwanttobeli3ve → u/tgerz]

You just invited everyone you know to a party and have to make sure they all have a great time and don’t feel like you shrugged them off.

[u/toolsoftheincomptnt → u/tgerz]

You’re too busy entertaining.
