Forbidden Foods Brides Should Divorce for Good

cupcakeThe phrase "forbidden food" isn't exactly in my vocabulary, unless you count something like processed garbage that has hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. Even then, I wouldn't go so far as to say those are "forbidden" ... I just steer clear of them as much as humanly possible. I tend to think that when you label something "forbidden," you're just asking for trouble, setting yourself up to fail.

However -- in the next year leading up to my wedding day, I'm finding more and more that there are foods I'm steering clear of. That are mostly -- whether or not I want to call them this -- becoming somewhat, well, forbidden. Or at least ... I'm thinking of them as having landed into that tiny little spot at the very top of the old food pyramid -- in the "eat very sparingly" category. And while some of my faves definitely fall into that category, plenty don't.

Kim Kardashian’s Wedding Menu Is a Culinary Let Down

roast chickenNew details from Kim Kardashian's wedding are emerging by the second (this just in! Khloe ate a donut at the reception!) but no detail is more important to me than the wedding menu. Fortunately, the peeps over at TMZ got a copy of Kim and Kris' special day bill of fare, and by all accounts, it's pretty damn boring.

Was it because Kim wanted to make sure no one at her wedding got bloated? Or worse, gained a pound? Was it because she was trying to save money? Was it because caterer Wolfgang Puck secretly hates the Kardashian family? I mean, what other reasons could there be that explain this lackluster menu!

wedding cakeHere you thought the Royal Couple was having a nice, simple, "austerity times" luncheon. Well, did you know that their wedding cake actually contains secret messages in the flowers? That those flowers are actually code?

Okay, it's not as sinister as that. Kate and Will's wedding cake -- the fancy one, not the silly chocolate "biscuit" groom's cake -- was decorated with 17 different flower designs all symbolizing different meanings according to the Language of Flowers. (There's a Language of Flowers? Is that what wee English fairies speak?) Keep reading to find out what Kate the Great's cake said.

special kates royal wedding cerealWith a little more than two weeks to go until Prince William and Kate Middleton tie the knot in the most glorious, magnificent, world-changing event of the 21st century (or so you'd think judging from the hype), all varieties of royal wedding memorabilia are out in full force. Okay, that's an understatement. It's infiltrating every aspect of our LIVES! You can bling your fingers out, hang your laundry, sip your tea, and now ... eat your breakfast as a tribute to the soon-to-be-married royal couple.

Forget that bowl of stale, personality-less Kashi or Raisin Bran. Where's the royal wedding fun in that? You'll be better off filling your with Royal Breakfast Special Kate's and Wills’ Royal O’s! It's a complete, once-in-a-lifetime breakfast.

You know, I'm starting to feel a little thankful that my invitation to the Royal Wedding was intercepted by Interpol and didn't make it to my mailbox in NYC. At first as I was all, not again! But now I'm grateful for the excuse to miss the big day for Will and Kate.

Why, you ask? Well. Have you seen what the cakes are going to be made of?

Royal Wedding Menu Is Royally Annoying

Kate Middleton and Prince WilliamAlong with all the other details we're dying to know about the upcoming royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton is: What are they going to eat on the big day? While an official royal wedding menu hasn't been released, Princess Diana's former chef, Darren McGrady, has predicted what's going to be on it (anyone taking bets?), and it sounds royally unimpressive.

He says it may start following the ceremony with a champagne breakfast including things like smoked salmon and sausage rolls, which are always a hit -- are those kind of like pigs in a blanket?

Apparently, there will be no big sit down meal, but rather a buffet. A buffet?! If I'm going to a ROYAL wedding, I'd expect my own personal waiter, not having to stand in line and schlep for myself alongside everyone else. But apparently that's the "modern" thing to do.

'My Big Friggin' Wedding' Recap: Let's Marinate in Our Miserable Sauce

Episode 4 of My Big Friggin' Wedding got a little too friggin' real this week. We bickered over menu items and ice sculptures, we went to couples counseling, we went to the gym, and of course, we fist-pumped like there's no tomorrow.

But seriously, this episode was not that funny. The couples went over tedious details like linen rentals and hors d'oeuvres selections, reminding us of the parts of wedding planning we'd rather forget.
