This is the Bridal Suite. Send us up some caviar sandwiches and a bottle of beer.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The order pairs the luxury associated with caviar with the informality of sandwiches and beer. Naming the Bridal Suite adds another grand element to this casual request. The mixture gives the line its comic contrast, allowing elegance and ordinary appetite to sit comfortably together.
