My brother got married some years ago. His fiance, now wife, was from Las Vegas and had some strange ideas on decorations and protocol. The reception was at my parents house and this posed a minuscule problem for my mum who invited her friends and neighbors, but had a minuscule trepidation about some of the food choices.
My mum is a very classy lady, she has impeccable taste and all the time does all things just right. Not overdone, not underdone, just perfectly. Mother's evening meal parties are notorious for being elegant and delicious, soft music, quiet conversation; a gentle, relaxing evening is all the time had by all.
The wedding was a minuscule unnerving for her as one of the menu items was a flowing punch bowl, three tiers high with orange soda cascading down, and lights illuminating from bottom. Not exactly classy. They also wanted finger food that included mini hot dogs, other public faux paux in my mothers mind.
True to her never-ruffle-a-feather style, she served mini hot dogs on silver platters accompanied with gorgeous garland and set the gaudy punch bowl off to the side on her china buffet as not to be the town of attention. The reviews of the orange soda fountain were mixed, the young kids conception it was great while you could see the amusement in the eyes of the older generation.
The most important thing was she did not offend her new daughter-in-law, their association has remained close and comfortable which could have been much separate if they had started out arguing the merits of orange soda punch bowls fountains.
