a little over 6 months to go!

Today I had the day off so I decided to get some wedding work done!

I called Celebrations and spoke to the owner, since my wedding guy- James- was not available. He is the owner and a nice guy. He was able to answer all my questions and I got super excited knowing everything is coming along! I am really glad that I got going on this wedding stuff way before. This is when everyone called me crazy... crazy but NOT stressing!

I am super excited about the food at the wedding! After the ceremony, we have a cocktail hour. Open bar and appetizers! We are having-
* Coney Island Cocktail Franks
* Mushroom Florentine
* Assorted Knishes
* Risotto Croquettes
* Tempura Veggies
* Fried Shrimp
* Scallops and Bacon
* Mini Monte Cristo
We are also having Cold Buffet Hors D'Oeuvres that has all kinds of cheeses, veggies, fresh bruschetta, canapes, spinach in croute, and caviar. We have 2 hot Hors D'Oeuvres stations as well- Tenderloin tips in Burgandy sauce and Mozzarella En Corozza. I am not a caviar fan BUT it does come with the package so I am all for it!

After the cocktail hour, dinner will be in the ballroom. First there will be a fresh fruit plate (palate cleaner). Then there will be a spring mix salad with a raspberry vinagrette. The main course is next! Choice of Stuffed Capon, Filet Mignon, or Veggie Pyramids. The first 2 choices come with bundled asparagus and red bliss potatoes with rosemary. Dessert will be wedding cake and/or ice cream with fresh berries!!!

I FINALLY got the limo guy in his office, instead of on his cell phone while he was on 95. For those of you that know, him and I have been playing phone tag for some time. I just wrote the check for the deposit and I am good to go. I will call him back to ensure that he is giving us a big-ish limo- Me, Dad, Sarah, Sara, Alice, Mom. I think Dan is going to get a ride by Steve b/c I believe the guys will be getting ready at Steve's while we are getting ready at the house!

Final decisions are coming such as the songs and other things! NOW I am ready to work out and get into the dress!! PILATES! PILATES! PILATES!!!

i'll have the stuffed capon, please.

gosh, you're making me hongry, nicole!

dan actually fooled me one time when he said the cats will be coming to the wedding.

they could wear itty-bitty gloves on their paws so they'd be in dress-up mode.
