I do catering. Last night I saw a first -- At least for me, I know it is probably something others have seen before. A live centerpiece.
Like life!
A single vase with a light inside the water. And a goldfish..
A real fish.
A single sad and scared goldfish just circling around the tiny confined space for hours .. actually a day.
So long that some fish started to float. One sank. Death became them. Strangely eerie is how the main families' tables were the places where the victims fell first.
I had some issues with this. I felt it was a bit tortuous. I think it was equally strange that the wedding guests had a menu that included broiled fish.. The same thing they stared at..
It was like a sacrifice.. it was strange.
