I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. From roughly 1955 through the late 1970s, a wedding reception in much of small-town America meant the church basement or the VFW hall. Folding tables lined up under fluorescent lights. Paper tablecloths weighted down with chafing dishes. The catering was handled by the women of the congregation, who divided up the menu at a planning meeting and showed up the morning of the wedding with their own pans and their own serving spoons.

By the time the grandkids sat down to eat, nobody at the table called it Hungarian or Greek or Czech. It was just dinner.
