Yeah, well you know that the couples who are doing this will respond with, 'In our crowd, we always do it, it's normal, people love it, I"m doing it anyway."
This is why I don't eat food cooked by people I don't know/trust. But if I had a potluck wedding (I'm not), my mother and I would be doing the cooking and I trust us.

I totally get why potlucks don't work for weddings, but I think they're fun for other occasions. Botulism, though... Not so fun.
Yeah, I definitely stray away from eating food in any situation like that if I don't know who cooked it. My mom's wife wanted to go have Easter dinner at her mother's RV park which was going to be a potluck for all of the RV-ers. My mom and I looked at her like she had grown 4 heads. Seriously? You've raised me for the last 26 years and you are going to ask me to go eat dinner cooked by a bunch of people I don't know who on top of that cooked said food in an RV? Yeah negatory, I'll pass.
I eat at potlucks, but I'm pretty sure I know the people who cooked the meals typically. This is really sad. We're doing a potluck beach party this summer, but we'll be cooking the hot dogs/hamburgers on a charcoal grill at the beach and I'm assuming people will be bringing beach-y food (thinking chips, veggie trays, etc).
