“Everyone enjoys the cocktail hour before the wedding reception much better than the wedding reception itself. The slices of roast beef, the potatoes, even those couple spears of asparagus—they get in the way of the mingling, of the dancing, of the chatter chatter chatter. What we want, of course, are little bits of cheese on toothpicks. We want mini-quiches. We simply want the olive at the bottom of our glass. These things, in their own way, are nourishment. ” — Laurence Ross
