Ok so it's been awhile since my last post...been busy being unemployed. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, we went to the San Luis to taste the menu for the wedding...fun right? Oh yes! Brian and I had our pre-marital counseling that morning with Father Paul so we were already on the island. We had a two hour span between the meeting at the church and the meeting at the San Luis and we asked ourselves "Should we eat?!" It was already noon and we were both very hungry and we had no idea what to expect at the tasting. Was it a full meal? Was it literally just a TASTE (and we'd leave with grumbling bellies)? Hmm...In the end our stomachs won and we had a light lunch (salads or something). Then we headed to meet up with my parents. It was my dad's first wedding planning event. He was SO excited! What a good choice for the one wedding planning activity to join in on though, right?! I'll be sure to include him in the cake tasting, too! The man with the money SHOULD be able to have his cake and eat it, too! When we got to the San Luis, we soon realized that we should NOT have eaten! It was such a nice little event for us. We had a little private corner in the restaurant of the San Luis and our own private waiter that called us all by name. He walked around with generous samples of wine (yes, of course, I had too much!), offered a choice of bread, then brought out two selections of salad. I had the Caesar salad and Brian had the garden salad. Mom and Dad had one or the other. Then our waiter walked around with a serving tray and offered a selection of dressings. We decided the garden salad was probably a much more popular choice so we are going with that. Then we got our meal, and Oh.My.God it was good! We were initially tasting the spinach chicken breast we selected (because Jilly did NOT want the "chipper chicken")and a piece of steak (we were going with prime rib but it too much hassle to make for 5 people so we had steak). After eating chicken breast almost everyday my freshmen year in college, it's never my first choice to eat but this was so tasty and delicious! And I'm not much of a steak person either, but this filet "was like buttah!" Awesome! My parents were very pleased as well. And, oh, the mashed potatoes! I can't believe I almost forgot about the potatoes! As anyone could tell you, I am obsessed with mashed potatoes (hence my big ass!). So I was super excited to see those on the plate. During the meal, I got out my list of questions for Stacey, which took some effort because at this point I was very full and, to be honest, little drunk! But we finished our meeting and our meal and everyone was full and happy.
Since our food was so good, my oh-so-generous father of the bride decided to go ahead and serve our oh-so-lucky guests the same delicious meal we were served at the tasting. So everyone (except our two vegetarians) will get the chicken, a filet, mashed potatoes, and asparagus (which I don't normally like but these were great!). I am such a lucky girl to have my dad! My dream wedding would not be possible without him! And my mom too, of course! Because "a man may be the head of the family but the woman is the neck. She can turn the head anyway she wants!" Bonus points if you can name that movie!
Current Task: Invitations! Already designed them and ordered 3 samples just to make sure I like them (typical control freak!). Plan on ordering them this weekend then I have to figure out how to "decoratively close" them.
141 Days to go!! Holy crap, time is flying!
