That's genuinely shocking.

How rude is it to ask if they can have my food and then just grab it? There was no scene. I dumped it in and she put her hand back in her lap. Big whoop.

Yeah, I'm hungry now :/ (supposed to be under doc's post but i'm too hungry to type faster :/ )

I would be happy to not attend a wedding where shark is being served- HAPPY! That would be one less person shark had to be prepared for. I however am obliged to attend this shit.

no one is ever obliged to do anything

Then just pass on the soup (tell the waiter not to bring you any) and give her the movie as a wedding gift.

**girl68** · 18-03-10, 06:15 AM

Well contrary to that the reprocussions of not going to this damn wedding will be significantly worse that if I do go. She's one of those girls who is marrying my bf's best friend. To run out on the wedding would be a slap in the face to the entire group and the last thing she and I need is more god damn drama from me not going. I'd rather just spoil and refuse to eat my soup.

HAHAHA... LOL Unfortunatly the bowl is made for the whole table... and it is served to you, chinese people are pushy they will inisist they serve me a bowl. They think it's 'cute' when you wave your hand no thanks, smile and continue to serve you.

The last part of wedding gift, the look on her face would be priceless!

awww, she has a boyfriend....that poor thing....

Oh for Gods sake. You weave back and forth between safety and the drama like a troll toddler, Girl.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt earlier but I'm of no doubts now.

Your entire presence in this thread is insincere and manipulative.

Every dramatic (and expected) reaction is met with further info which you've divulged in order to regain credibility lost.

If you don't want to eat anything, don't eat it.

Tell the bride that you're happy for her joyous occasion and feel honoured to attend but just can't put shark fin soup to your lips.

Call it an allergy and if the "big shared bowl" comes to your table and an offering spoon comes your way, politely decline and state that you're allergic to shark cartilage. Makes your throat swell up...

End of.

There is no shortage of snobby, stupid people in this world. From many cultures. There is a lot of 'oneupmanship' in eastern cultures. People are useful for their contacts and bragging rights. We get gifts and invites a lot b/c of this. Shrug. Its not a big deal if you understand the cultural background it comes from. Either accept it, or dissociate yourself from it.

Doc, you are on Girl's ignore list, she can't read what you are typing.

Its true Girl, you are just full of excuses... To me you sound jealous of your friend getting married, or her privileges, or whatever. Sour grapes.

Let her enjoy her wedding. If you can't do that with some class, then don't go. It is bad manners to refuse food at a formal event like an asian wedding. Personally, I think you should just eat the damned soup. The queen has eaten shark fin soup. I have. You'll live, and I guarantee the shark doesn't care at that point. You'll be able to brag at some point (and I'm sure you will) that you've eaten it.

If you are serious about the issue, make your stand on this important environmental issue in a different venue than your 'friend's' wedding. Like a concerned post here on LF (which I've never seen--its always in the context of some 'friend' you have issues with). Or send a gift ahead with your regrets and well-wishes.

That's rather cowardly and close minded. I don't expect anyone to agree with me, but at least, possibly hear me out. I do the same for Socialists and American Democrats.

Thanks for pointing it out. I didn't realize.
