Food pics from wedding
The food consisted of coffee, tea, iced tea and lemonade for beverages, and then hummus cucumber shooters, cream cheese veggie sliced rolled wraps, spinach quiche, croissants with chicken salad, and crab salad stuff won tons for the savories, and then carrot cake muffins, cheesecake bites and grandma's molasses cookies made by my cousin for the sweets. The savories were a little soggy and ho hum in my book, but good enough is good enough. I loved all the desserts, which is good because I had a lot left!
Later we had a picnic at the beach with outstanding pulled pork sandwiches with home made barbecue sauce, pretty good potato salad and baked beans, watermelon, leftovers from the tea, and WAY too many crudites with a good dip. Plus assorted soda and left over coffee. Don't really have photos of that spread, but we had a ton left over since quite a few guests petered out and also didn't show. Sun came out at the end and a gorgeous sunset. My new husband and I took a "refreshing" dip in Lake Michigan to christen our marriage. Just a photo of the park pavilion. Hope you'll understand that I'm trying to keep most personal photos private.
Photo of me thanking guests and relatives who had passed on, gives a sense of the teapot-themed table centerpieces. Also pretty good view of my wedding dress, hair, and flowers. After all was said and done, I borrowed a small fake flower/feather hair bob from my cousin. She made it for another wedding she attended.
My mom's teacup is to the left of the cake stand, kinda hidden, and the red and white teapot was given to me by one of my best friends who died suddenly in 2011 from a brain hemorrhage. Flowers with yellow bow are a tacky plastic arrangement that seemed to follow my mother around everywhere, from house to office desks, etc.
Found a non-blurry picture of me with Annie. I'm eating so it is kind of food related . . .

Comments (14)Thanks everyone. I don't have too many of the ruffley, new daylilies. A couple I do have seem to be having major problems opening up, I hope that is something that will change as they get used to their home, but I got them last fall. Debra, I am liking those peach ones too. At first I was looking for pink & was disappointed, & spent the last couple of years trying to get a few nice pinks. This was just such a perfect bloom. Lala, you are so funny :) I'm already dreading the end of my bloom after reading that Kay is seeing fewer blooms. I love my 50 cent daylilies, although they are common ones. I bought 6 others, including what is supposed to be Pandora's Box & Wild Mustang. The others had no tags at all, pretty sure that at least one is another Custard Candy. They also had Moonlit Masquerade & Double River Wye. Already had MM & Pandora's box, but that's ok, I like both enough for 50 cents :) Neither Pandora's Box or WMustang have scapes. I think WM is a later blooming daylily, but PB should have scapes I would think. Just a wait & see game!...See More"wedding" food??
Comments (11)The worst wedding I ever attended was a formal affair in the evening at a toney, God-awful expensive hotel.The venue, flowers, and the bridal party's clothes must have eaten up their budget, so the only food was tiny platters of the smallest appetizer bites I have ever seen and a punchbowl of really bad wine punch. The guests were so hungry (expecting a sit down dinner) that a lot of them went into the hotel bar and bought food to bring back to their tables. My hubby was so hungry that we left early and stopped to eat on the way home. The best wedding (and most fun) I ever attended was held in a beautiful old barn on a ranch, with a western theme.The bride wore white cowboy boots with her antique lace wedding gown, which had been her grandmother's. The bridesmaids were all dressed like dancehall girls from the 1880's and the groom and the groomsmen all wore western style white shirts and stetson hats. The bride and her dad arrived in an antique open carriage pulled by a beautiful pair of matched horses, with the wedding flowers braided in their manes and tails. The food served was barbeque and the dancing was an old-fashioned square dance, but everyone had a real blast and it's still talked about today. The bride's family didn't have much money to spend on that wedding, but it was so well done and so pretty that no one cared. Every guest had a great time, got some great food, and no one wanted to leave....See MoreFood pics from Italy
