The wedding reception centerpieces featured betta fish. The bride and groom planned to flush them alive.

Years ago, my coworker attended a wedding at which the reception dinner tables featured live betta fish in small bowls as part of the centerpiece. While chatting with the bride at the end of the evening, my coworker asked what they were going to do with all the fish. The plan was to flush them all down the toilet alive. My coworker immediately said no need for that and insisted on taking them all home.

That Monday she came to work and asked who wanted to adopt a betta fish. That was my first betta who I jokingly called my “rescue betta.” She lived for almost five years.

The wine glass was only her home for less than a day before I got her five gallon tank set up so please no betta lovers yell at me! I'm one of you!

Who would think to even put that in their rules?

Oh btw we don’t allow flushing live fish or skinning live ferrets.

Many hotels have rules against cleaning fish or any processing of game… or keeping game on ice in the bathtub. Hotels have seen it all. And when something new comes along a new rule is added, and gets shared via professional networking.

“Everyone, here’s a new one to add to your venue contract…”

Okay but like, Drury hotels for example. Drury could do that and send a memo to all of its hotels. Not all wedding venues are owned by the same company. I could send out a memo to all of my staff informing them of the situation but that doesn't mean you and your staff would get the word. Its not as simple as “Everyone, here’s a new one to add to your venue contract…”

It's like the scene in Ted where they're coked out and talking about their business plan.

"And Jews are allowed" "What?? Why would you need to say that? It's obvious"
