Food!

After the slide shows, Jacob and I started the line through the buffet. After many, many back and forths and plan fails over what we were going to serve, we decided on a pasta bar. It's inexpensive, allows people to mix and match what they want, and really, how can you go wrong with noodles?? =) We had linguine with choices of marinara, Alfredo and pesto sauces, with either chicken or meatballs on the side. We also had a garlic and french bread options, and a Cesar salad.

The food turned out pretty good. We the families with kids thanked us for having some an easy, kid-friendly menu. =) That wasn't even on my mind, but I was happy to make them happy!

You know how you read all of those tips for your wedding day and they always tell you to be sure to eat before the reception because you won't eat at it? Well, I'm here to tell you that it IS possible! I ate! lol I had a full plate of food, and I think I even went back for an extra slice of garlic bread. I was determined to enjoy my dinner! =)

After everyone was served, Jacob and I wandered around and said hello to all of our guests, table by table. During this time our guests also had the opportunity to visit with each other and enjoy the company.
