Since we weren’t blogging back in 2008, I’ll share our wedding experience with you in a series of posts here at The LOH.
COCKTAIL HOUR
After the ceremony our guests headed out to the lobby for the cocktail hour. Armand, the Wedding Party, and I headed to the dressing room to sign our Marriage License and partake in a group shot of whiskey. After a little 15 minute break, we joined everyone else in the lobby.
DIY PHOTOBOOTH
In theory, this was perfect. The photos looked great in the camera, the lightning was right, folks had a blast with it, and it only cost us $35 for a big CF card for the camera. Too bad the new CF card was defective and corrupted all of the files. Yeah. I get sick to my stomach when I think about it. At least we’re only talking about 48 pictures. The booth was out in the lobby, so it only got used during the cocktail hour, and wasn’t meant to be the major focal point of the wedding.
Everything we needed for it was at the theatre already. We used an adjustable height wardrobe rack with a backdrop over it for the background, two black stools from the orchestra pit, and a music stand to hold the instructions. Some of the lighting equipment we already owned and an additional light was brought in by our photographer.
BOUNTY TABLE
Wow. Jill Donnelly with the Post University Dining Hall Staff really wowed the crowd, not only with the amazing eats, but with the presentation.
Here’s what I remember: shrimp cocktail, garlic roasted peppers, marinated mushrooms, a selection of olives and tapenades, fine breads spilling out of a cornucopia with a selection of herb-infused olive oils, artisan cheeses, a selection of crackers and wafers, figs, dates, grapes, and much more.
GUESTBOOK
Folks had a lot of fun with the telegrams, aside from the usual well-wishes.
DINNER
Dinner was the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding. There was a pasta station, seafood station, and meat station. It was amazing, made to order, and served up hot. Dessert was cupcakes and canoles. Delicious!
