My wife and I were shocked when we were kicked out of my friend’s wedding for ordering pizza after the buffet ran out of food. What began as a lighthearted, slightly tipsy idea quickly turned into a whirlwind of drama that made us question not only our actions but also our friendships.
We had been looking forward to Tom’s wedding for weeks. It was a small, intimate affair with about 70 guests, mostly family, and the atmosphere was joyful. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there.
As we admired the decorations and soaked in the celebratory mood, everything seemed perfect. My wife and I exchanged smiles, complimenting the setup and how happy Tom and Linda looked. We were seated at a table with some lovely people and began chatting with a couple named Jane and Bob.
After a beautiful ceremony full of heartfelt vows, the celebration kicked off with drinks flowing at the open bar. Two bottles of wine were placed on each table, along with bread and butter, and the mood was lively. But then came the announcement for the buffet, which was to be served by calling tables up one at a time, starting with the family.
As we watched the first tables head to the buffet, we noticed plates being piled high with food. I quietly mentioned to my wife that I hoped there would be enough for everyone, and we both waited, hoping for the best. However, when our table was finally called, the buffet was nearly empty. We managed to scrape together a few scraps, leaving everyone at our table visibly disappointed. We could sense frustration growing around us.
“That’s it?” Jane asked, staring at her nearly empty plate. Bob, equally unhappy, grumbled about how hungry he still was. My wife and I were equally disheartened, but we tried to keep things lighthearted.
It was then that Bob jokingly suggested ordering pizza. To our surprise, the idea didn’t seem all that far-fetched to us in our hungry state. After a quick chat with the others, we decided to go for it, pooling some money and placing an order for four large pizzas and wings.
When the pizzas arrived, we shared them with those around us who also hadn’t gotten enough to eat. The atmosphere at our table shifted as we laughed about the absurdity of the situation, but that light mood didn’t last long. Before we knew it, Linda’s father approached our table, clearly unhappy.
He sternly asked where the pizza came from, and after explaining that we had ordered it because the buffet ran out of food, he grew even more upset. When he asked for a slice and I refused, citing that we had barely eaten ourselves, his frustration turned into full-blown anger.
Not long after, Tom came over, looking distressed. He apologized but explained that we needed to leave, as the pizza situation had upset Linda and her family. Feeling hurt and frustrated, we gathered our things and left the reception, ending the night on a sour note.
A few days later, Tom called me. He explained that after talking with Linda and her family, they realized there hadn’t been enough food and felt terrible about what had happened. Linda’s father, especially, was eager to make amends and had planned a big “After Wedding Shindig” to invite everyone back, with plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment.
Despite the awkwardness of the original event, it seemed like things were headed in a positive direction, and I found myself looking forward to the follow-up celebration. What had started as a silly solution to our hunger turned into a larger lesson in communication, and, in the end, a chance for everyone to come together again.
Rice & Water: The Natural Facelift That Feels Like You’re 20 Again! 
Forget expensive creams and painful procedures—your skin’s best friend might already be in your kitchen. Rice, combined with simple water, has been a beauty secret for centuries, especially in Asian skincare traditions. Packed with natural collagen-boosting compounds, rice can help your skin feel smoother, tighter, and more youthful.
Why Rice?
Rice is rich in antioxidants, B vitamins, and ferulic acid, which help:
- Boost collagen naturally
- Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles
- Brighten and tighten the skin
- Improve skin elasticity and hydration
This natural combo helps restore that youthful glow—without any harsh chemicals.
DIY Rice Water Face Mask (Collagen Boosting)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of white rice (preferably organic)
- 1 cup of water
Instructions:
- Rinse the rice briefly to remove any impurities.
- Boil the rice in water until soft, then strain and keep both the rice and the water.
- Mash the rice until it becomes a paste.
- Use the rice paste as a face mask, applying it to clean skin.
- Leave it on for 15–20 minutes, then rinse with the reserved rice water.
You can store the rice water in the fridge and use it as a toner for up to 3 days. Just apply it with a cotton pad daily for extra glow.
What to Expect
With regular use (2–3 times per week):
- Wrinkles appear softer
- Skin feels firmer and more lifted

Bonus Tip
For extra hydration, mix a teaspoon of honey into the rice paste before applying. It adds natural moisture and helps calm the skin.
