Yes that is right... it is the reception meal after the ceremony...!
It originates apparently from the word Breakfast meaning, "To fast before the wedding and therefore the meal was the BREAK from the FAST"
Therefore known as the WEDDING BREAKFAST
Do not disturb... Already disturbed enough!

Its called breakfast, as it the first meal you have as a married couple. It isnt necessary if your not wanting a formal meal. We are having a picnic and then a bbq later in the evening. xx

traditionally the bride and groom would fast before the wedding and this would be the first meal of married life as it says break fast i didnt know also so looked it up on the internet
originally you were only allowed to marry before noon and therefore for it to be a "traditional" wedding breakfast it has to happen before 1pm!
