You’ve been planning for a few months now, getting down to the nitty-gritty of what shade of ivory your dress will look like, or staying up late at night wondering if those peonies will fly in on time from New Zealand.  At the end of the day, choosing from a pre-determined menu might not seem like a big deal.  Until you send out your invites with boxes to check off for “beef” or “chicken,” and your family sounds off by saying, “Another wedding dinner with beef or chicken?!”
