Weddings..

My cousin is getting married in September, and we could reply by email if we are attending or not. So I thought since I'd be doing that, I'd explain that I have Celiac and asked if there will be anything gluten-free, and when I just checked my email she replied! Heres what she said:

"Hi Lisa. I'm actually not quite sure yet what we're even having on the menu for supper, but when I find out i can let you know. I'd have to talk to the caterers who go through the hall people, so I don't even have a phone # for them, and I might not talk to them for a while. When we get our menu all figured out I will let you know for sure. Meanwhile, sorry about the wait!

Rachel"

...I wish all of my family would be like that

That was very kind of her.

When going to a wedding (or similar event) I always assume there will be nothing for me to eat, so I always 1. eat before I get there 2. keep a snickers bar in my pocket to tide me over if I get hungry. Not exactly gourmet, but assuming that from the start allows me to enjoy the event without stressing about food.

That is awesome!!

I'm going to my aunts wedding next weekend and my parents talked to her last night and she actually told them she checked with the caterer which foods are safe for us - a good deal apparently and the caterer is even making 2, yes 2 gluten free desserts!!

That's awesome. I bet you can call the caterers too, and they'll probably give you some info. The last time I went to a wedding I totally lucked out. They had a huge salad and fruit bar, and I snuck in some Alpsnak bars, so I didn't starve

That's what I do too. Eat before, bring something in my purse. That would be awesome if they were able to provide you with a gluten-free meal though. How sweet of your cousin to ask for you.
