Food and Airplanes and Appointments, oh my!

So we missed our plane Thursday morning (along with several other people) because of security line length. We ended up catching a flight on another airline completely, but still made it perfectly on time to the cake tasting at 9:30am.

Cake tasting – AWESOME! We have our cake flavors. Because Jeff’s groom’s cake will be this chocolate confection, we opted for no chocolate in the wedding cake. There will be nutty flavors in the cake, though, as a warning.

Next Charlotte and I had our hair done – wow, we both love our new hair styles! Bob is awesome. You’ll see how fantastic he is when you see Charlotte’s and my hair on the big day.

Then we had the formal tasting at The Blackstone for the entire reception menu – action stations for the cocktail hour, passed appetizers, soups, salads, several entrees and more desserts for a sweets table – we spent almost 4 hours eating superb food. It was all fantastic, but we narrowed it down to our final choices for the menu. We can say with absolute confidence that no one will walk away hungry and everyone is going to love some part of this feast. I could go on, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise.

I had my make-up trial today – wow – Alicia Brooks did a great job. I’m extremely happy with the results! I also had my dress fitting today so we are well on our way to having all the major items done and checked off the list.

In usual fashion, we couldn’t have done any of this without Marissa or Jeff’s parents. I’m exhausted and am off to bed now. Thank heavens.
