Today, Saturday, April 14, was Eliot's first time to go to a wedding...she behaved SO well, which worked out really nicely, considering that the floor was marble and her cries would have really carried...
Right after the ceremony, all the guests went upstairs while the staff converted the seating from the ceremony to the dinner area and dance floor. The two bars they set up downstairs were made completely from ice and had the couple's names chiseled out in the center.
The colors were orange and hot pink (the same colors I had at my own wedding, almost 5 years ago). The bride's dress was amazing. I will have to check tomorrow's paper to see who the designer was. Or would that be next week's paper? I'm not sure.
I dressed Eliot in her green dress with white polka dots.
She did get really fussy when the reception music started to get loud - right around the time our entrees were coming out. So we figured it would be best to bring her home. The waiters noticed we were leaving and stopped us to ask if we wanted our entrees to go!! Um, YEAH!
We had crab bisque, salad with pear and walnuts, brie and goat cheese with crackers, herbed beef tenderloin and lemon artichoke chicken with scalloped potatoes! It was all delicious.
The dessert was the wedding cake and groom's cake, but of course we missed that.
That was totally fine because the wedding favors were little cookies, so we ended up with dessert anyway!
It was our neighbor's wedding. Our other neighbors who were there took a picture of W and I with Eliot since our camera was out of batteries. I hope to get that pic from them soon and I will post it!
