One question plagues young couples more than any other. It's not, 'What does the future hold?' or, 'Does my bum look big in this?' although these are both valid and important questions. The biggest question faced by young couples today is, in fact, 'What food does everyone serve at their wedding?'

Well, this obviously depends on where in the world the wedding is taking place. A Greek wedding, for instance, would involve a great deal of red meat, particularly lamb. Christos, from Athens, explains: 'For my wedding, my aunt cooked two whole lambs, which were then shared between the whole extended family. It was such a huge event and was probably the happiest day of my life. The lamb was simply delicious - so rich and tender.'

Veronica, from Marlborough, wouldn't have enjoyed so much red meat at her party. 'I insisted on Scottish Wild Salmon at my wedding. My husband Crispin was keen on getting some roasted peppered salmon, but it is so important that the union of our two souls should get off on the right track - anything other than Scottish smoked salmon would have been unimaginable. That's the thing about Crispin, while I do love him dearly, we don't always see eye to eye on food.'

Jerome, from Winchester, married his wife Miranda in 2003. Their wedding featured 'caviar, champagne and more champagne. Miranda wanted us to save money on the reception so that we could have a longer honeymoon, but I wouldn't hear of it. My family are seafood enthusiasts and our wedding simply had to reflect this. We bought great quantities of Beluga caviar and were not disappointed. All of our friends said it was simply the finest wedding they'd ever been to.'

Megan, from Cumbria, is planning on marrying her fiancé Barry next summer. She has already decided on dinner for the event: 'I am always one to follow trends, and saw that all kinds of celebs are choosing smoked fish as the key dish in their reception dinner. If the A-list want to serve smoked salmon, then who am I to argue?'

So, it would seem, popular- wedding fare for British couples certainly includes good quality fish products, and this is the answer to the puzzling question, 'What food does everyone serve at their wedding?'
