Stolen Wedding Cookies and Other Etiquette Hell
A recent article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette talked about tacky behavior in public. The lead-in talked about stolen wedding cookies:
Heather Vaill had 1,500 of her mother’s most delectable homemade cookies set outat her wedding reception several years ago.
“Thumbprints, pizzelles, ladylocks — all the good stuff,” she recalls.
Even with more than 200 guests, the bride still was surprised the sweet treatswent so quickly.
“I was disappointed when [a few hours into the reception] I went to get a cookie– one stinking cookie — and the trays held nothing but crumbs,” says Ms. Vaill,36, of Plum.
She later learned a cousin had brought Tupperware containers to the receptionand absconded with a sizable amount of her wedding cookies.
“A few months later, this same tacky cousin served the cookies she stole at hermother’s wedding reception!”
