A weddingggg!^^ We're going to a wedding this coming Saturday, me, the hubby and some friends. A formal dinner one, where you'd sit stiff and eat quarter of a meal served in a large white plate while sipping on red wine and chardonay...gulp. It's been a while since we've attended something like this, my own wedding was not too formal yet "elegant" and "fun", I can say that it was, yes I was there.^^ Well, I'm really summoning all forces to recall what good dining etiquette I've reserved for events like this. I've always been sassy with everything, everywhere...I have no problem laughing at myself if I drop a utensil or something but yes, I do remember to NEVER pick it up incase you drop one, even if you don't intend to use it again just don't duck under the table to pick it up... I kick it away from me though and ask for a new one...I don't understand why they keep handing me pairs of utensils when I drop only one? pfft.
Anyway the bride has been announcing that it's ok if we come as we are and have rowdy-fun! oh I bet she does! I'm not really sure if she wants to see her guests to be too quiet and uncomfortable, you know those tight dresses and heels could really itch!^^
...and what dinner etiquette are you talking about? I come from the 3rd world, I eat with my hands and it's proper!haha You can burp out loud in Japan and it's proper!... somebody invented this fuss, you know that etiquette thing...not fun at all!^^ haha no, seriously...From time to time we need this. We need to experience things like this so our lives wont be a cliche! You know what I mean? So we're not running around in circles where everything is a chosen, familiar path. So yes, we're giving this a try... be stiff, sit still and eat quarter of a meal...
...and have Mc Donalds after.

Sassy.

I come from the world too and I eat with my hands half of the time too.
Have fun at the wedding.

Etiquette is really easy! Just start at the outside and work inwards with your cutlery. Put your napkin on your lap, use the right glass, and you will be fine!
What would you choose, cheese-board or dessert trolley? Just curious!
Amen to that! Some of the proper dinner etiquette is so pompous... eating just makes me nervous in situations like that! We're going to a wedding tomorrow also. So have fun!
It's great to have a real good 'posh' do as we say here in England. I don't do it very often but on the ocassions I do I enjoy it . . . an of course I have my wife there to make sure I use all the utensils in the right order and behave myself. Funny at these 'dos' everyone looks at everyone else to make sure they are doing the right thing and no-one wants to make the first move at picking up anything or eating anything just in case they make a mistake and people start nudging their partners and say, "Just look at them, they just do not know how to behave!!"
Have a great time, Sassy ~ Eddie x
