I make sure to go to a wedding hungry. I like to stuff myself at the buffet. I even bring tupperware so I can bring home leftovers! I mean, they're just going to throw away the leftovers. . . at least the food is not going to waste!

Are you serious? That is an awesome idea.

This is a bit of a side track - but there really are so many leftovers at simchas - are there chesed organizations that will take the extra food and give it to needy people?

my grandparents are famous caterers in the new york area. At the end of each event they have guys called the "Arthur boys" - (thats my grandfathers name) who come and take back the leftovers for chesed organizations and yeshivos.

Omg, your aunt L was my teachers years ago and she was the best teacher ever! Tell her that her students still remember her and all her songs.

by one of my siblings wedding the caterer had left all the leftovers on trays for us to take home because the hall wasnt a regular kosher place and while people were walking out they just took it home, we wanted to give it away to a yeshiva or something but by the time we realized what people were doing it was all gone, they even took my sisters b-day cake that she never got to even taste!

Number of things.

1) you should not go hungry, you will likely make bad choices, overeat (and possibly feel gross), potentially be hangry if enough food isn’t served early enough, and make a poor conversationalist/guest. Your best bet is to eat light during the day so you are not starving, but have room/calories to enjoy whatever you want.

2)left over food should either be donated or it should be sent home with the ba’ali simcha. The leftover food from DS’s wedding was sent home with me and I repacked it into dinners and filled the Chassan and Kallah’s freezer. They didn’t need to shop/cook for heavier meals for a very long time.
