What to have for lunch???

Where will you be? Are you going to be at the venue or at home? I will be at home for lunch before my ceremony and am planning to have smoked salmon and scrambled eggs to avoid the bloated tummy!

I would go for a chicken salad or an omelette, anything without carbs!

We'll be in a cottage that we rented. It has a small kitchen so we can do a bit of prep but nothing too fancy. I've heard protein is a good hunger supressor so eggs or chicken are decent ideas.

I'm planning on an omelette, some salad etc. I'll be too excited to eat properly before the wedding but hopefully I'll be able to manage an omelette.

Oh wow. I hadn't even thought about bloating so I'm glad someone posted this. I love omelette so I guess I'll go with that. Ironically I've recommended that our guests have lunch before our wedding but I've not really considered me!!

There's so much to think about!

Protein will fill you up, so perhaps a chicken or egg salad.

I thought I would be too excited to eat breakfast on the morning of our wedding, but I wolfed down a huge plate of scrambleg eggs, mushrooms, beans and toast at the hotel! Glad I did because I hardly ate anything else the rest of the day, apart from cake at 2am when we got back to the hotel!

What about ordering in a platter of sandwiches/wraps from a sandwich bar/deli for you all, no need to worry about cooking and dishes and no food smell in the house as I know omelettes stink!!!

I might be dumb but whats a stovie?

is it like a stottie?

or something completely different?

pasta is always filling or rice, personally I would avoid dairy based product or animal based products to reduce bloating, IBS or the risk of food poisoning (because thats my luck lol)

Stovies is a hearty scottish dish made with potatos and left over meat (sausages, corned beef or whatever)

Mmmm stovies and oatcakes, the best wedding snack ever!!!
