Yesterday’s wedding was SUCH A BLAST! I am so excited for the happy couple. :-D
After a quick but lovely ceremony, it was time to get the party started!! ;) On our arrival to the cocktail hour, each guest was presented one of Joe & Kate’s signature drinks: Watermelon Mojito! It was the perfect drink to start the night.
The cocktail hour had a delicious spread of fruits, veggies, cheeses, crackers, & some homemade garbage bread. I LOVE garbage bread!!
I ended up snacking on some veggies, a couple crackers with brie (my FAVORITE) and a piece of garbage bread that was stuffed with sausage and peppers. It was amazing! I also got myself a glass of pinot grigio which was by one of my favorite brands, Robert Mondavi. The pinot was thoroughly enjoyed throughout the evening. ;)
Ok, so you’re probably wondering which dress was the winner, right? Welllll…I’ll get to that in a second…I’m going to leave you all in suspense a little longer! ;)
For dinner, there was a fabulous buffet catered, again, by our friend Brad. By the time we ate, I was pretty much starving, hence the reason my plate looks like it could feed a small army.
The pasta primavera was my favorite out of everything. It had great flavor and I was very excited when I saw sun-dried tomatoes in the mix of veggies! I didn’t eat much of the chicken, since it wasn’t my favorite, but the rest of the plate was delish!
A little while after dinner, it was time for CAKE (also one of my favorite parts of a wedding!) It was a simple yellow cake with buttercream frosting, but it was out of this world! I was quite excited to see that our table got served the vanilla cake, because I did see chocolate floating around too…but I’m a vanilla gal. I had no problem dominating my piece. :)
Ok, so now onto the big question…WHICH DRESS DID I WEAR?!?!
DRESS #1!!! :-D While they were both beautiful, I knew I’d be more comfortable in the red, and I completely fell in love with the neckline of this one. I’m very happy with my choice!
So now I will leave you with some pictures from the night…and I’m sure you will notice that some shenanigans definitely started taking place as the night went on!
Me & my Brother Dan

What a small world!
