Uh yeah, I had to make a cookie table Pokémon.

Weddings in Pittsburgh are so fuckin weird. Like you got your cocktail hour, your hor dourves, your soup course, your dinner, your cake. But then, along one side of the reception hall, there’ll just be this giant table covered in insanely ornate cookies. I’m talking pecan tassies, scones, chellegies, lemon snowballs, those weird fuckin peach looking ones with the plastic leaf sticking out the top. It’s the Cookie Table. As far as I understand there’s no business that will make you a cookie table, you just have to Know Someone with a grandmother (usually Polish) who’s willing to bake 50-some dozen exotic cookies for your daughter’s wedding. And God help you if you put out the cookies before dessert starts, because the out-of-towners, the damned heathens, they’ll start bringing plates and plates of cookies back to their tables because goddamn, it’s 8:07 and the dinner service still hasn’t made it to our table Dianne, are they bringing it out through the Squirrel Hill Tunnel for chrissake? But it doesn’t matter. Custom demands that you do not touch the cookie table until Actual Dessert Time. But by then, everyone is so stuffed and drunk that they’re either full or too busy dancing, so the new happy couple is sent off to start their lives with everyone’s best wishes…and 30-odd dozen cookies, which will eventually congeal into a frozen mass in the back of the bride’s parent’s refrigerator, because hell no am I throwing these out, Eileen, we paid good money for these damn things and we’re gonna eat em, alright? We’ll thaw them for the next steelers game, the boys’ll eat em. No sense of them going to waste.
