Are we pleasers, are we not ?

My friend, Jamie, called & said: “Kelly, tell u something but don’t be angry ok……. My sis attended a wedding dinner at Ritz Carlton last weekend and she said the food there was…not.. ehh.. that.. fantastic.” My reply: “It’s ok! I can’t please every1… as long as we know what we want..” “….Oh… ... tatz gd ….... ”

Yes, I told her that. Perhaps her hierarchy of importance is different so she was a lil taken aback by my response & at a loss of words. But don't you think it's true we can't please everybody? Just 1 single dish could have varied comments... while it could be too saltish to one, the other might find it just nice but the meat not too fresh? Another would say it's a lil overcooked... Or maybe the serving is not big enough?

I've attended functions there including cocktail receptions & wedding dinners so I somewhat already have an idea. But our priorities, like said, are different though the size of each serving is of high importance to us and for that I don't think it's a problem.. also I've no doubt in their presentation of the food served.
So I'm sorry to some of my friends who will be there & are particular about wedding food! But it's not that bad lah... just that normally we have high expectations on a hotel of such grade.

Conclusion - When we were in-between decisions, that was the toughest part. We needed to weigh the +ves & -ves, what would please us more & at the same time be pleasing to our guests... Furthermore we have our own restrictions too... it's mainly the number of guests & not like we have lotsa $$$ to splurge.
So once we have made the decisions & committed, there'll be no more regrets because we know we have already chosen the best of all options with much consideraton and if we were to be given a 2nd chance we would still take the same offer. So we promised to remind each other of that whenever either of us show a sign of disappointment. But so far we are cool about it....!
