oooooooooo! Every bride's worst nightmare re centerpieces. Unfortunately this couple didn't feel the same way.
Oh man...poor fish. I hope you guys at least have eaten already b/c I don't know if I could with a fish belly up right in front of me.
thats gross. didn't anyone tell anyone to get rid of it? or u just ate your whole meal like that?
Exibit A of why people shouldn't use live centerpieces! My aunt and uncle used godsfish in their centerpieces years ago. Some fish died but one ended up having babies during the reception. That was pretty cool but the belly-up floaters... not so much.
Ewww. My cake baker convinced me to do cake stands with betas in them. Only 3. And she says she'll be on dead fish watch. She better be!

Goldfish are egg-layers. Were they mollies perhaps? Mollies (and guppies, swordtails, and platys) are live-bearers.
Either way, I think living centerpeices are a no-go.
That's usually what happens. The only other outcome are drunken dares to eat the fish. I have seen both. :(
@Lindsay05: Exactly.
Fish in centerpieces and butterflies at ceremonies almost never work out well. :(
I saw a drunk guest eat a fish centerpiece once....it was so disgusting.
I hate the fact that people use fish as decoration, especially if it's a beta in a flower vase. It's not recommended that they be in a bowl with plants (how people usually display them). Betas need to get to the surface to breathe or they will literally suffocate! Sad.
Eww, that's so gross! Kudos to you for staying, I definitely would have left as soon as I saw fish in the centerpieces (I do have a fish phobia, though!).
That's so inhumane, people should not use fishes as decor!!
What do you do with the fish after the reception? Were the "rented" or bought and then just forgotten? Wow...
@abbyful: I have no idea. I was 8 and they looked like goldfish.
lmao, this made my night. Thank you.
Wow, I must be out of some wedding loop. I have never in my life heard of using live fish in a centerpiece. Do people give them out as door prizes at the end of the night?
That's what happens when you don't put the proper chemicals in the water with them. I know my sister was thinking about using goldfish centerpieces, but we are all very experienced with fish and have the proper accomodations for them when the wedding is over.
Haha omg this is awful but making me laugh. My mother used to tell me stories of this happening at weddings she worked and people freaking out. How awkward! Hopefully anyone thinking about this will read it and re-evaluate, lol. Hope you got through the night!
i love how you went on to weddingbee on your phone at the wedding to update us....i'm not being snarky, i really love it. =)

And the fish has died...
So we're sitting here, at the table, with a dead fish floating around in the centerpiece and it's a little awkward.
