Today is devoted exclusively to Yo and Matt's wedding preparation. Mostly it is a day that has to do with food. We attended a tasting at the Lodge, the location where the wedding is taking place in the fall. At this tasting, there were probably ten tables of groupings, all families with weddings scheduled in the upcoming months. The purpose of the tasting is to select which items you want to choose for the reception. We had a variety of appetizers, two types of salads, and four kinds of entrees. Of course, there was one steak plate, divided among six people, so it is not as much food as it may seem. Yo and Matt are serious "foodies", and are really 'into' all those details.
While we have been to Matt's parents' home a number of times over the years, this will be the first time we have hosted them in our home for dinner, so I am very glad that is taking place. Hopefully, everyone will be ready to eat, when the time comes.
I also hope that we will get a chance to do some other wedding related things while they are all here....like discuss the ceremony, address envelopes, etc. I'm the officiant, but want to make sure we are all operating with the same assumptions.
It is hard to imagine going through all this kind of wedding preparation unless everyone is comfortable together, which we all are. Yo and Matt have been together for six years now. Their wedding will be elegant. The ceremony will include elements of both faiths--hers is Christian, his is Jewish.
Thankfully, I bought a good book which describes the details of both. I expect it will be the kind of wedding where every family member has a part. That's the best kind.
More on that over time.
