So, the planning took about a year; there were showers, gift registry in a number of stores, an elaborate and oh so elegant garden wedding at a golf club, followed by an elaborate reception. And that was followed by a honeymoon cruise in the Mediterranean. It was a dream wedding and honeymoon. The bride was beautiful and very happy. The room was impressive at first glance but really, it was overdone...just too much satin for my taste. Sometimes less is more! The flowers at each table were in elaborate giant champagne glasses, impressive from afar but sitting at the table, one had to look up so high to see them it made one's neck sore.
The meal was soup, salad, sorbet which I didn't think was necessary, then the entree of bacon-wrapped filet mignon well presented with grilled vegetables, followed by a dessert of strawberry shortcake and a choice of liqueurs with coffee or tea. There was red or white wine with dinner and of course, champagne for toasting.
