Weddings can be expensive, and cutting costs is understandable. However, one person on r/AmItheAsshole is wondering if they would be inconsiderate to their guests if they only provided appetizers, but had a full roast chicken for themselves. The post author’s spouse is insistent on having a more satisfying meal for themselves, but the cost would be $30 per plate. The author is worried that it would be rude to have a better meal than their guests, who would only have finger foods. What do you think? Would this be a wedding faux pas, or is it their special day and they can do as they please? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Roast chicken for bride and groom, just appetizers for guests?
Weddings can be expensive affairs and it’s no secret that couples are always looking for ways to cut costs. But is it okay to serve a full meal to yourselves while only offering appetizers to your guests? One groom is grappling with this dilemma as his fiancé insists on having a roast chicken at their table while the guests only get finger foods. While he thinks it would be rude to have a better meal than their guests, his fiancé argues that it’s their wedding and they should have what they want. The cost of providing a full meal to every table is also a concern. The couple is using Publix for catering and the groom estimates that it would cost around $30 per plate for every table to have a roast chicken. The groom is also concerned about his fiancé’s lack of consideration for the guests’ dietary preferences, as she only wants to serve food that she likes. What do you think? Is it okay for the bride and groom to have a full meal while only offering appetizers to their guests? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
