This post is piggy backing off of another one I saw on Carribbean Food. What kind of food are (did) you ladies serving at your reception.
The restaurant we had my reception at served Brazilian and Portugese food and it was delicious. My guest loved it!
We had fried chicken, baked chicken, fish, meat balls, tossed salad, potatos, spanish yellow rice and vegetarian lasagne for all of the vegetarians. We also had unlimited soft drinks.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
My menu is basic:
baked chicken, roast beef/gravy, new potatoes, green beans, salads-pasta/fruit/green & rolls
we will also have punch, tea and during the cake cutting serving lime sherbert punch (to go with the pistachio color of my wedding)
My menu is:
Meat-
Roast
Turkey
Ham
Starch-
Yams
Mac/Chesse
Mash Potatoes
Stuffing
Veggie-
Corn
Cabbage
Collards
String Beans
I thinking of deleted a starch and veggie, if so it be string beans and I can't choose the starch ... :)
I love to cook BUT my FH won't let me for the wedding! He says that way too much ...but I wannnnnnaaaa :( ...I told him to at least let me do the desserts ...and he agreed.
So I'll be doing the french apple pie, sweet potatoe pie, chesse cake, and cookies!

Wow, ladies, my mouth is watering already!!! I hope you guys didn't change the menu and I can definitely KeepUp!!!
As for me, I'm Haitiana, so it's Haitian food all the way baby!!! I love to cook too Turiya, but I will not be cooking for my wedding either, but I'll be doing a lot of the prep work. I also have a signature drink. It's called "The Rose Blossom". It's a dark red colored martini, and it's delicious!!! I tried it out and made it for FH last night and he loved it too!!!
I have no idea. I'm still flirting with the idea of a dessert reception, I'm all over the place right now. I just want to have fun and not break the bank (hard to do with 300 guests)

Ivy sweety ~ Go Soul Food and find someone to cook. That will save you a bundle!!! But then again, maybe your venue will not accept an outside caterer.

Yes, he's still here, but unfortunately, my soon-to-be MIL fell a while back and twisted her ankle, hence the original reason why he came to town in the first place. He's a CPA with his own firm in downtown Boston, but he does have a partner. I have a feeling that it's the way things unfolded between us that kept him this long. He told me that he was suppose to have returned 2 weeks ago. He's leaving Sunday afternoon.
What we came up with temporarily is that we will alternate weekends, provided that I don't have an event (one weekend here/One weekend in Boston) for now until the end of the school year. Then, I will be moving to Boston by the end of Summer, where our wedding will be taking place. Since he has commitment in the Boston area, we're going to push back buying a house for about 3 years or so, then we will be buying a house and moving to Georgia. He said that he would love to have another firm in ATL area somewhere in a few years. I'll be going to Boston next Friday in order to spend the Christmas/New Years holidays with him.
And a plan it is! :) I'm happy for you! But I'm a little salty about the wedding being in Boston :(...I wanted to see that Valentine's Day Extravaganza! :) I'll settle for PLENTY of pictures :) :)

I know that it might be too far for you to drive and participate with me, but note that your invitation will be in the mail regardless {LOL} Also, the wedding is still a year away, hope you can make it, but if you can't, you better believe that I'll be flooding you guys with pictures every step of the way!!!
