I don't think, however, that people hold it against a couple if their cookie table isn't the greatest thing a guest has ever seen. They may hold it against them if the cookies aren't that good, though.

And attributing a marriage that doesn't last to the lack of a cookie table is most likely 90% joke. I've also never seen someone leave a wedding because there was no cookie table.

Cookie table is only super important to me when the cake is not good. If I don't care for the cake, or the slices are SUPER tiny, it's no big deal when there is a table full of good stuff next to it. So if I don't like the cake and the cookies aren't good (or there are no cookies), I have to go dessert-less.

Also (for non-Midwestern peeps), the cookie table isn't usually JUST cookies. I have seen them with brownies, a chocolate fountain (with fruit for dipping), and mini cheesecake as well.
