It's really coming along

I feel like the past two weeks have been full of planning.

We've met with our florist and photographer, finalized the cake design with the bakery, and this past Sunday we had a great tasting at the Black Rock.

The food is absolutely great, you will all be pleased with the choices. We are going to have the ceremony begin at 3:30 that day, followed by a cocktail hour between 4 and 5 with passed hors d'oeuvres and then the reception will begin at 5.

The food will be a salad course of a caprese salad; stuffed chicken with rosemary potatoes, pearl onions and a pea medley or salmon and scallops with celeriac mashed potatoes and asparagus; followed by the cake. We have a layer of chocolate cake with chocolate filling and a layer or almond cake with raspberry filling. Everything is amazing, hopefully everyone will find something they like. Vegetarians and other dietary needs are covered, just note your preference on the response card and the caterers will gladly prepare a dish for you. They have assured us that it is no problem and I'm sure those dishes will be just as good as what we tasted on Sunday.

Just this evening Mike and I met with the Justice of the Peace we have chosen. He seems great and we're going to work with him on creating a ceremony that fits us.

From what I hear the bridesmaids' dresses are in, which is pretty great. I hope the girls are happy with them. We have to get the invitations printed out in the next week and you should receive them soon.

Then it's time to start with the final details like centerpieces, favors, and flower arrangements.
