Planning in advance for someone to fetch you drinks and a break to eat something nibbly is key. You really won't get a chance to eat even when you are feeding everyone else. If you are staying there that night, have them already plan to box you up something to eat afterwards as well. No matter where you are staying, actually. People getting married seldom get to eat at their weddings. Though people do tend to be better about refilling your drinks.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So, Goodwill stores have started their own online auction site, which makes sense, because you know they get donations of some stuff that's worth a lot of money. Browsing the "Miscellaneous" category is a highly entertaining way to spend an hour.

BRB, looking for ankh pendants and copies of Dracula.

Well that was fast. I'm now the high bidder on an ankh pendant (and a bunch of silver chains that come with it) AND a copy of Dracula. There's also a pair of Fluevogs on there, but not in a style I'm looking for. Teppy, I promise not to tell Pete that you pointed me at that site.

Hey, blame Tim. He found it first!
Check this ring out: [link] It has no bids yet, but it's gorgeous. I can't believe something like that ended up at Goodwill.

This actually is probably pretty awesome: James Earl Jones reads the Bible.
Darth Vader, actually saying "I am your father," but in a different context.

Thrive to spite them
In addition to what Cass said, if you are going to have the caterers box something up for you make sure at least 2 other people know and have someone designated to get it to you and Tim before you leave.
I can't remember which wedding, but one I went to the MoB made sure there was a picnic basket with plenty of food for the couple. But in the commontion of being Mother of the Bride the basket didn't get in the car with the newlyweds and no one figured it out until the next day when it was found with some decorations.

Dang, I'm almost tempted to bid on this: William Jennings Bryan plate. I could eat pizza off the Great Commoner.
