Ready for Rehearsal

Last night, Dan, my mom, and I went to La Cena Restaurant to look over the menu for the Rehearsal Dinner on 8/26/09. After meeting Massimo, the crazy Italian manager, we looked over the menu and decided on this place. It is in the same place as Celebrations so we can walk to La Cena right after the Rehearsal. Since my mom is paying for the shin-dig, she has the final say. After Massimo bought her coffee and Tiramisu, she was sold. Check out the Menu below-

• Course One- bread/butter/bruschetta along with a house salad.
• Course Two- Appetizers- Appetizer 1- Calamari e Insalata Caprise- fried calamari served with fresh tomato and mozzarella salad, basil, olive oil. Appetizer 2- Penne alla Puttanesca- penne pasta with black olives, capers, and fresh totato-basil sauce.
• Course Three- Entree- the guests get to choice one out of the three following choices- Entree 1- Pollo alla Sorrentina-boneless chicken breast topped with fresh tomato, melted mozzarella and mushrooms. Entree 2- Costoletta di Maiale alla Milanese- breaded pork chop thinly pounded, deep fried served with arugola and chopped tomato, oil, and lemon. Entree 3- Trancio di Salmone con Salsa Mediterranea- grilled salmon servbed with sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, capers, olives, and scallions. All the entrees come with fresh veggies and potatoes of some kind.
  
• Course Four- Dessert- the guests get to choose one of the following choices- Dessert 1- Tiramisu- tried it and it was AWESOME!!! Dessert 2- Gelato or Ice Cream

My mom decided to pay for the dinner while Dan and I are going to pay the bar bill. I am excited. Not only am I excited for the dinner but for the big day as well! I have been working out and getting into shape! I know it will all go well and the wedding will be wonderful!
