This was just a sample… but we loved it so much we decided to go with exactly what was served. So here is what we will serve on our wedding day!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for myself and Paradise Dude. Last weekend he went to watch the British Grand Prix, leaving me to fend for myself, and then this week I had my graduation ceremony for the degree that I finished in January (long wait I know). This meant that families were up, driving us mad with endless questions about the wedding, which I’m sure that we’ve answered before or can’t answer yet, like who’s staying in which rooms in the hotel. “Well dad…” my answer started, “how can I know that if I haven’t had all the RSVP’s back yet?” Sensible answer I thought.
But, the two wedding big things that we did get sorted this week, without too much hair pulling and stress, was my first dress fitting and the wedding menu. The dress fitting aside, the menu tasting was something that I was looking forward to, well mainly the dessert part, as I have a huge sweet tooth and love chocolate. And out of the five desserts that we had listed, two included chocolate.

I have been looking forward to our menu tasting since the day we booked our venue. My side of the family is Italian so we love food and lots of it. But Italians are also very set in their ways when it comes to food. When we have events they are at the same banquet hall (because the owner is usually a family member) and you are served the same meal: anti-pasto, pasta, meat and seafood.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Italian food! But I find these meals have become very repetative and predictable and those aren’t feelings we want associated with our wedding meal.
A Fall inspired feast
