I love the idea of the first 25 people all eating 4 person's worth if food each and the just rubbing it in the faces of everyone who got there later.

That's really weird and probably poor planning. For buffet style I'd try to go overboard rather than have guests go hungry. Still, the first guests should limit themselves and then go back for seconds if there is food left over. That said, I've never been to a wedding that was short on food.

They probably eyeballed the amount of food laid out, looked at the number of guests, and thought there was guaranteed more servings of everything, because otherwise there'd only be enough for like a 1/4 plate of food per person.

I really doubt they managed to pile up 4 plates worth of food onto one, though. It sounds like the rations were planned out for basically 1/4 of a plate of food per guest (1/2 plate if we're being generous), and the guests just took normal or a bit over.
