    Let the number of guests at the wedding be represented by "g"

    The number of people who take beef = 1/3*g = g/3

    The number of people who opt for chicken = 5/12*g = 5g/12

    The number of people who opt for vegetarian = 23

    So, g/3 + 5g/12 + 23 = g since "g" is the total guests

    Now, we need to solve for g

    g/3 + 5g/12 + 23 = g

    g-g/3-5g/12 = 23

    (12g-4g-5g) / 12 = 23

    3g = 276

    g = 276/3

    g = 92

    Total number of guests at the wedding = 92
