What a weekend so far!!!!!

After a few weeks of not much wedding activity, this weekend sure did make up for it. On Friday, we had a tasting at our reception venue. They sat us in a private dining room, which was lovely. We tasted our chosen appretizers for the cocktail hour, the salad, and all the entrees (except for the prime rib, but really--we all already knew prime rib was tasty!). Here is what we had:

Appetizers
Chilled Shrimp with Boursin cheese on a cucumber
Broccoli Cheese Bites
Swedish Meatballs
Chicken and Veggie Skewers
**Spanitopita** We didn't actually try this since they were unable to prepare it for our tasting

Salad
Field Greens with grape tomatoes, candied walnuts, and red onions served with a raspberry vinegrette

Entress
Mahi Mahi with pineapple salsa and jasmine rice
Risotto stuffed in a roasted tomatoes with roasted seasonal veggies
Chicken Cordon Bleu with Cauliflower puree
**Prime Rib** didn't actually try this

Overall, we were very pleased with the tasting. We all left very full! Luckily we could bring my parents and sister to the tasting :)

In other wedding news, my dress is finally in!!!!! I tried it on today and was tickled when it was actually too big! Wahoo for wedding/job stress causing me to lose weight! LOL

Below is a pic of me and mi madre at the bridal shop!



After the bridal shop, my mom, sister and I saw "27 Dresses". It was very cute! Definitely it into our theme for the day!

Finally, Sis and I headed to Office Max to get outer envelopes and labels for the invites. Yay for one more thing to cross off the list.

Tonight, I'm organizing all the addresses on a spreadsheet. Fun (haha) !
