Oh my! Martha Stewart would be pleased - that sounds so refined and delicious - home made items are special - glad your guests had such a lovely lunch
...*swoon, THUMP*......
There is. The top tier is in my parents' freezer. We're going to nab it the next time we're back in town.You forgot to ask if there was any wedding cake left.....
He's not much of a baker. He's made cheesecake before and while it was supposedly good, I'm betting you and I would sink him in a bake-off. He's never made any specialty flavored cheesecakes - that's more my arena - but I've learned he adores cheesecake.
Looks like there's a pumpkin cheesecake in our future sometime during the holidays.
Hold on - *you* can make the pumpkin cheesecake and I'll make some other flavored variety and we'll all sign up for Zocor!
What a special and beautiful wedding! Congratulations - wishing you the best for the rest of your years!
I loved all the pictures. Your parents look so happy even! That menu - OMG. Perfect.

Aren't you supposed to eat that on your first anniversary? Everyone else (single) is supposed to sleep with a piece of the fresh wedding cake under the pillow to dream of future husband. What a mess. I am pretty sure that I did it once, as a kid.
Thanks for the photos. You guys look so happy.

Well, now I'm hungry......
It's traditional to do that, but I'm not fond of freezer burn. We're going to consume it on New Year's Eve.
Yes, that always sounded 'iffy' to me. Grand idea on New Year's Eve.

Pre-Wedding Story #1:
I arrived in Beaufort two days before Hurricane Matthew hit the U.S. east coast, both to help Bryan get his mother to stay with her sister in Columbia and to get last-minute wedding stuff accomplished that could be done only in South Carolina. On the day I drove in, one of our sweet kitty cats died unexpectedly and without warning. We didn't have much time to grieve because we were monitoring the hurricane and had decided to stick it out. It was downgraded to a weakened category 2, but it still required running around getting hurricane supplies because we knew we would lose power.
Had the hurricane not arrived, we would have been getting haircuts, pedicures, wedding clothing alterations, and cats put into pet boarding places, but because everything was closed (or sustained hurricane damage), we had no choice but to put the surviving cat into a cat carrier, pack our stuff up during daylight hours, and then get on the road to drop both mother and cat with aunt in Columbia.
Holy crap. On the day after the hurricane, none of the stores in Beaufort were open - no power - but his mother was almost out of adult diapers, so an emergency run was in order. While I drove, I listened to a National Public Radio station out of Savannah that gave interstate updates. Apparently you could drive out of county but no one was allowed back in because of road debris. I went to Publix on Lady's Island, about 10 minutes away, and they were running the store on a generator. Thank God I was there early with other rational shoppers: by the time I'd stood in line with groceries, there were cops at the end of every single cash register check-out, and the assistant store manager was holding back a crowd outside that stretched half-way down the parking lot. I was able to get diapers, apples, bananas, frozen sausage biscuits, and some cat food.
It was like living the reverse of an Eagles song in a banana republic: you could leave but you couldn't come back in, and then you got to endure angry hungry crowds in grocery store parking lots.
We left two days after the hurricane, got his mom to Columbia, spent the night in eastern Tennessee, and then came in to Nashville on Tuesday before the wedding...and little did we know that we left one hurricane only to enter another: Hurricane Wedding.
