We hosted some house guests this weekend. Some friends of ours were in town for another one of our friend's weddings, and so we made up a guest room for them for a few nights. They arrived on Thursday evening, and we went out for some authentic Thai food.
The hubby and I shared some wraps, and then I had the Pad Thai.
Last night we had a fabulous time at our friends' wedding, dancing, eating, and visiting.
It was an Italian wedding, so as we went through the receiving line we were given a little snack, and a shot.
The meal started with antipasti, which was followed with lasagna, and then chicken, carrots and potatoes.
The bride and her family made the cake, and there were four different kinds. I had the some of the coconut cake with almond butter cream.
And if that wasn't enough food, there was also a midnight lunch, and a candy bar.
We were at a friend's wedding in the US a couple years ago, and since the groom was a Canadian, they decided to include a midnight lunch in the wedding. The Americans hadn't heard of this tradition.
Not everyone has a midnight lunch, but it is quite common where we are from.
Have you ever heard of a midnight lunch at a wedding?
Do people do this where you are from?

I've never heard of a midnight lunch at a wedding, but I've only been to a handful! Sounds fun... but not as much fun as that candy bar, haha.
I've never heard of a midnight lunch. What is it?
I thought everyone did midnight lunch! Good to know, good to know. Looks like a great time was had, weddings are so much fun!
Love love love Thai food. There's a small restaurant here that makes great Pad Thai. Aside from that dish, spring rolls are my favorite.
And I've never heard of a midnight lunch. I'll have to consult Google after this. ;)
I NEVER leave a wedding before midnight lunch! I had no idea that this wasn't at every wedding!
Your weekend looks like it was fun...the Italian food looks divine!
It is very rare to see a midnight lunch at a wedding... I bet I can count on 1 hand the # of times that has happened. What a fabulous idea, though. Looks like such a fun wedding!
Being that I grew up in rural Saskatchewan, of COURSE midnight lunch is common at weddings. They were also commonplace at cabarets I attended in my youth. :)
