There are certain traditional foods that have become synonymous with weddings. As the wedding industry has developed, the standard has changed. Mashed potato bar, anyone?
While it may seem as if these were all designed specifically for Instagram, John D’Arcangelo, managing director of the catering company, thinks the mashed potato bar started popping up well before Instagram, in the late ’90s and early 2000s. “The mashed potato martini bar was a staple food experience for a long time because it brings together elements of surprise, glamour, and guest interaction,” he says.
But at the same time, America was becoming more urban and industrial, and the middle and working classes “appeared able to afford or emulate the trappings of the formal white wedding,” writes Howard. Now there were more people buying things, so an industry emerged offering more things to buy. Once middle- and working-class families could afford the trappings of costly, formal weddings in the late 19th century, elite tastes shifted, deeming them “a sign of social decline or profligacy.

He spoke Tuesday as 550 active-duty troops began arriving at the border and migrants weighed whether or when to cross. The restrictions have been in place since 2020, and allowed U.S. officials to quickly return migrants over the border. They are ending later this week and the U.S. is putting into place a set of new policies that will clamp down on illegal crossings while offering migrants a legal path to the United States if they apply online through a government app, have a sponsor and pass background checks.
