Creative Catering - How To Find The Perfect Menu For Your Wedding

By Helen Wallis

If there’s one element of your wedding that your guests will remember it’s the food. Along with the location, décor style and music, the catering will define the event. Cuisine gives you the opportunity to really show off your creativity; and if successful, will leave an ever-lasting impression on your guests.

Contemporary couples are fortunate to have many creative catering options at their fingertips; gone are the days when wedding caterers only served standard “banquet hall” fare that was more or less the same for each reception.

Due to a proliferation of cookbooks, food blogs and network shows about food available 24 hours a day, today’s brides and grooms are more knowledgeable about food than those in generation past. Caterers have responded and couples should have no problem finding a caterer who thinks and cooks creatively and who can offer unique suggestions based on the couple’s preferences.

Below are a few categories to get you thinking about how to make your wedding food fun, different and delicious!

Nadia Buari Subs Jim Iyke - Calls Him Bitter As Bile?

Ghanian actress Nadia Buari who is the last lady to have been paired with Jim Iyke shared a kiss with her fans as seen in the picture above. And then she posted another picture [below] which she tagge;

"The taste of ur life depends on the spices u used to brew it. Add laziness to it and it becomes bitter as the bile; put a cube of good attitudes into it and u will lick ur lips more and more due to its sweet taste. So u choose..#word"

This sounds like a reference to the lazy men referred to by Jim Iyke in his "Women are apples on a tree" spiel. Could it be that Nadia is saying he is among the lazy guys and bitter?

#EbolaOutbreak - Patience Jonathan Adopts New Greeting Style By Rubbing Palms Together

Patience Jonathan, the First Lady of Nigeria, is currently visiting Poland, and was pictured greeting officials and aides at the airport. What is striking is the respectable distance she keeps from those who have come to welcome her, and the pecular method of greeting.

Instead of hugging or shaking any of the other women as she would do normally, the first lady simply rubs her own two palms together, while the women do the same.

Some are calling this the new vogue for greeting caused by fear of the Ebola virus and people think of ways to avoid contracting the virus but at the same time, they don't want to be rude or appear so to others.

I think it's a cool thing for whoever came up with the idea.

Wunmi Obe Attacks Robin Williams’ Widow In Scathing and Heartless Open Letter

Wunmi Obe has used the further news that have come to light since his death by apparent suicide to pluck what she says are gaping holes in the statement released by the widow of late American comedian Robin Williams.

Susan Schneider wrote of her grief, and heartbreak at the loss of her husband and best friend, and asked for privacy. Read full statement HERE.

But Wunmi Obe, married to husband Tunde Obe for 16 years - and I'm sure she has seen her fair share of the ups and downs of marriage, including bad health, bad finances, infidelity, etc - is not granting Susan Schneider that privacy. Wunmi is not even extending a hand of sympathy or understanding as someone who has experienced celebrity death in the family.

A seemingly very pissed off Wunmi Obe took to Facebook to comment:

Women Are Not Apples - Why I Don't Agree With Jim Iyke on Finding The One

Nollywood actor Jim Iyke shared the above picture on Instagram along with the write up below...

"Women are like apples on trees, the best ones are on the top of the tree. The men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and don't want to get hurt. Instead they get the cold manipulating easier climbs. So, the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top because they value quality away from d spotlight. #bae #angeleyes

A lot of women see the analogy, place themselves where they will and either agree or disagree with him. Those who think they are at the top of the tree and are being praised by Jim Iyke and called wife material, are very happy. Those who may have had one or two boyfriends, feel chastised and unhappy.

#EbolaOutbreak - Should People Who Escape Quarantine Be Publicly Named And Identified?

It was earlier reported that a nurse, who had previously had contact with the Liberian Ebola patient Patrick Sawyer while he was at the First Consultants Hospital in Lagos, had fled quarantine in Lagos and returned to her home in Enugu thereby putting 20 more people at risk of the deadly virus.

Reno Omokri, President Jonathan's social media asssistant is now asking for feedback.

Do you think public health officials should expose the identities people who escape quarantine in order to protect innocent lives? Let's discuss!
