When Kenny and I were married 30 years ago, we had an open bar for our guests at the reception site to enjoy while we were taking the mandatory group pictures at the church, followed by a dinner. That was de rigeur for weddings of our generation - or at least in our part of the country. Although I went to many a wedding where only punch and cake were served, and they were lovely.
Now, the event has escalated to grander proportions. I'm not sure what has prompted this extravagance, but I think wedding reality series, such as TLC's "Four Weddings," (about four brides competing for a dream honeymoon), has contributed to this frenzy.
Now bare essentials are an open bar, hot and cold passed hors d' oeuvres,
sit down dinner, (or a variety of main course stations), a coffee bar, dessert buffet, chocolate bar, the list could be endless. So many choices! It's overwhelming, and not inexpensive! What do to? Whom to choose to handle this, one of the largest expenses of the entire event? Best recommendation, get referrals, and then go for tastings! Tomorrow, hear about our adventures in this...
