Maybe she's doing it out of hatred to ruin the wedding because she hates that you are marrying her little girl.

It's never too late. It's just more money. Call your local pizza and pasta joints that cater.

And you've never tasted her cooking before now? And your intended never mentioned the state of moms cooking prowess? I'd say you brought it on yourself. I'd be calling up Subway for short notice. At least it would be an alternative to offer guests.

If you are creative and do a lot of research you should have time to find another caterer.

should have done it earlier. its your wedding fool not a cookout

Yikes that's a sticky situation you got there. I would've done things a lot sooner, but for now...I would have your fiance taste the food too if not already done so, then maybe she'd see your point and you can both take your future mother in law aside for a little chat. Or maybe you can just say, "Thank you, but I think we'd rather have a professional handle things."

Actually OP, you might still be able to book a caterer. I work for a small catering company and have had people talk my boss into booking their weddings, which are usually only a few days away. Try calling up some local wedding planners for good catering references and hit them up. You might not be able to get a customized menu, but most catering companies have a bunch of "example" menus that they build off of all the time. Also, small businesses can be coerced into payment plans or even business trades. Good luck!

He should have known and told you..I would have told her it tasted horrible

She probably doesn't want you guys to get married. Just call it off now, before you are stuck with her doing crap like this for life.

Shame on your fiancé he grew up with her cooking he knew better
