Bride-to-be Blogger Jennifer: Food for Thought

Photo by Meyer Photography

Anthony and I had our food tasting with the caterers at our venue last week. We extended the invitation to our parents so they could help us with choosing some of the food for the Big Day. Beforehand, I was struck with the usual “what should we expect?” feeling that seems to keep coming up so frequently in the planning process. Turns out, we got to try a little bit of everything, from hors d’oeuvres to our six selected entrees and a selection of cakes and desserts. We left there stuffed — and satisfied that our guests will enjoy the food as much as we did.

The tasting took place in the same room that our reception will be in, and we were there with four other couples. I think it is really starting to set in that we are getting married in five months. That probably sounds ridiculous, since we’ve been planning all along, but being in that room, and seeing where we’ll sit and dance and mingle with our friends for the first time as a married couple just did something. Something clicked, and just like that we got back into the fast-forward planning groove. I am more excited now than ever.

What was your ‘aha’ moment?
