The damn tilapia got vetoed by the caterer, too. "Not a good choice for this type of event."

Suuuuuure, I'm sure that's exactly how it happened.

Responses:

I may know the answer here ... chef's HATE tilapia ... with a passion ... it's considered a "lessor fish" by chef snobs. - JenBro Jun 23, 14:11 2
- And if the sardines don't pay the rent on time... -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 14:11 1
  - *goes out and ruins some mackerel's credit* -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 14:14
Lobster for everyone! -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 14:03 5
- *claps wildly* -- nm - Aunt Lobster si Jun 23, 14:04 4
  - hee! -- nm - kelly Jun 23, 14:27
  - *points widely to the surrounding area* THEY SERVE IT EVERYWHERE!!! -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:05 2
    - Why should I have to pay seven bucks for lobster when it can be served to 200 guests at a cost of thousands? -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 14:10 1
      - *beats them with a Candlestick bowling pin* -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:17
*fires back with "Oh, well, it turns out that ... you aren't the best choice for this event either ..."* :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 23, 13:59
Are you insisting on tilapia from the Gulf of Mexico? -- nm - Dano Jun 23, 13:56 1
- *laughing* -- nm - JaxSean Jun 23, 13:59
who pays the bill? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 23, 13:56
Not a good choice? WTF? Why do you have it on your menu then? - musubi Jun 23, 13:54 12
- guaranteed, my mother told her that's what SHE thought, and the caterer agreed with her. - kelly Jun 23, 13:59 11
  - Maybe there is a good reason why they're "not a good choice", but that simply isn't a good enough reason on it's own. - musubi Jun 23, 14:06
  - this is why your mother isnt in charge. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 23, 14:04
  - I need to thank my parents again for how awesome they were in helping plan my wedding. -- nm - TFox Jun 23, 14:03 7
    - My dad was great when my brother got married, they planned everything they wanted, he wrote a check for everything at the reception. Had they known - jnine Jun 23, 14:15
    - Honestly, if this is the worst thing I have to deal with from her, it's okay. My mother has gone out of her way to - kelly Jun 23, 14:11 5
      - I know, in the grand scheme, this isn't a big deal. SheFox's mom vetoed the cupcake tower that SheFox suggested. - TFox Jun 23, 14:16
      - Sides, we won't have time to eat that day. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:13 3
        
        Heh. Speak for yourself! - kelly Jun 23, 14:18
        
        I bet you find a way. :) -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 14:14 1
        
        And here's the wedding album with Will eating during the first dance. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:16
  - this is why you need to be on Deadliest Catch. You could have whatever you want cuz you CAUGHT IT! -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 14:02
Who wanted the tilapia? -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 13:54 1
- *raises hand* -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 23, 13:54
It's our event...we'll decide that! - Will Hunting Jun 23, 13:53 37
- agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 23, 14:04
- Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 23, 13:59
- My mother also added a few appetizers to the menu, since ours were too "weird" or something. - kelly Jun 23, 13:58 28
  - Beef Wellington is an appetizer? This is definitely Will's wedding. -- nm - jnine Jun 23, 14:10 14
    - Please note: I did not suggest this. My input on appetizers were a shrimp with a key lime sauce. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:12 13
      - That's still on the menu, though. - kelly Jun 23, 14:15 12
        
        The bottom one is basically a skewer with grape tomatos and mozzarella balls in a balsamic vinegar dressing. They're good. -- nm - pmb Jun 23, 14:19 1
        
        oh yeah, d-uh...brochette is a skewer. -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 14:20
        
        yum. - b. Jun 23, 14:18
        
        the caprese salad brochette is probably mozzarella tomato and basil on top of a cracker or piece of melba toast. Caprese salad you can hold. -- nm - Diva Jun 23, 14:18 2
        
        Ooh, yum. Had I known what it was, I would have picked it, too! - kelly Jun 23, 14:20
        
        sounds about right -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 23, 14:19
        
        I almost picked that bottom one but..... - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:16 5
        
        The Wellingtons are in tiny puff pastries or something. -- nm - kelly Jun 23, 14:19 4
        
        does the caterer's name have two guy names? - b. Jun 23, 14:23 3
        
        yes. :) - kelly Jun 23, 14:25 2
        
        I missed! I want to go to there. - b. Jun 23, 14:26 1

  - What are these items that she has decided is too "werid"? - musubi Jun 23, 14:07 3
    - Thai chicken appetizers, spanakopita. apparently the banana crusted tilapia... -- nm - kelly Jun 23, 14:10 1
      - spanikopita is not weird -- nm - znufrii Jun 23, 14:12
    - Cow placenta wrapped in bacon topped with garlic. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:08
  - ........gooddddd times. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:01 8
    - I asked her if it was the regular tenderloin, or the one that was stuffed with the fruits (the one I wanted). She "can't remember". - kelly Jun 23, 14:04 7
      - There isn't....*sigh* - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:05 6
        
        What stuff? - kelly Jun 23, 14:13 5
        
        The tilapia.....I really was intruiged by that. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:13 4
        
        Yeah, but you said you still were going with the steak/steak tips, so... -- nm - kelly Jun 23, 14:17 3
        
        Yeah, banana-crusted could go either way for me..... - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:18 2
        
        FYI, I think this is what she got pricing on: - kelly Jun 23, 14:24 1
        
        Yeah, that was our #1 choice iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:25
- Beanie Weenies and Pigs in a Blanket!! damn it. Wait is that too many weenies in things? - Will Hunting SI Jun 23, 13:55 5
  - If I ask for you to grill up dogs, I want you to ask what breed.....not if it's suitable for my event! -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 13:56 4
    - god forbid they want to charge for substituting in air - Epiphany Jun 23, 14:11 3
      - Oh, I still laughed at that inside......it was too absurd not to. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:14 2

        Or more to the point, just tell me the onions are ground up in the burger.... - Will Hunting Jun 23, 14:26
Well, it's my choice. Make it work. -- nm - Dano Jun 23, 13:53
Um it's "YOUR" wedding. The caterer's job is to say "Yes, when do you need it." -- nm - MDH Jun 23, 13:53 3
- yes -- nm - ty97 Jun 23, 13:58
