You WON'T believe where this bride put her guests' food: ‘Are they trying to murder their entire wedding?’
- Replies 7
Weddings are usually grand affairs — with equally grand costs.
That’s why it’s no surprise when people try unconventional things to lighten the financial load that holy matrimony can often saddle the newlyweds with.
We here at the SDC are all about clever and innovative ways to save money and be frugal, but not if they put people’s health at risk.
Such was the mistake of one bride-to-be who shared her go-around on expensive wedding food, which can reach upwards of $100 per head in Australia.
According to a report, the unnamed bride shared a photo of her horrifying solution. In the photo, pasta, tomatoes, and other pasta salad ingredients are shown floating in a kiddie pool.
‘Wedding food prep day three… 30lbs of pasta salad,’ she wrote.
She added in parentheses: ‘Yes, that’s an inflatable pool.’
Understandably, her post made its rounds on social media and racked up all sorts of criticisms, largely for the safety of the wedding guests.
‘Day three, so presumably the wedding is still a few days away. They will literally kill guests with unrefrigerated pasta salad. Bacillus cereus is no joke!’ said one concerned commenter.
Another agreed: ‘Pasta can kill you once it grows bacteria!’
“Oh my God, ew, what the f***. Are they trying to murder their entire wedding?’ one said in horror. ‘Pasta is so dangerous when not kept properly!’
Bacillus cereus is a microorganism found naturally in soil and in raw and improperly prepared food items.
According to Food Standards Australia and New Zealand, the microbe has a higher risk of contaminating starchy foods like rice and pasta.
Symptoms of exposure to Bacillus cereus are most commonly vomiting and diarrhoea.
Other reactions of dismay poured in as well.
‘Oh that thing my toddlers peed in all summer? It doubles as a serving tray!’, one said in shock.
Another admitted: ‘If I was invited to that wedding and saw this post I would immediately be changing my RSVP to “no”.’ Same here, honestly.
Just to take the edge off of this story, check this video below for a quick and easy — not to mention sanitary — way to prepare pasta salad.

If you still have the stomach for it, take a look at this other story of a customer’s disgusting find at one famous pizza store. We won’t blame you if you’d rather not!
So what do you think of our bride’s wedding ‘hack’? What would you have done in her place?
Do you know of any cooking tips when preparing for a large meal?
