Menu included:

-Breast of Chicken stuffed with Mushrooms, Sun-dried Tomatoes & Spinach with a Pinot Noir Reduction Sauce served with mashed potatoes.

-Filet of Halibut with Black Truffle Oil & Lemon Butter Sauce served with Parmesean Risotto

-Savory Mushroom Duxelles in Puff Pastry served with whipped Potatoes and steamed Vegetables.

-Mac & Cheese (for the kids)

The details:

For the look of the room, I really wanted my centerpieces that we made to pop. So, we ordered chocolate satin overlays to go over each table. The chairs had chair covers with a matching chocolate sash.

The escort cards and table cards were made by Andrew. (Another sign of our geekery.)

The card cage was a semi DIY. I purchased the cage from JoAnne's and lined the inside with fabric so there was only one slot for cards to go in. On the outside, I added flowers and two birds with a card that said "Love Notes for the Love Birds."

For our guest book, we did a photo mat, only instead of normal black and white, we had a black mat with silver pens. After the wedding, we added a photo.

First dance was "It had to be you" as performed by our friend Mark and his band before the DJ took over for the rest of the evening.

Toasts were given by the Best Man, Matron of Honor, Father of the Groom, and Mother of the Bride. Probably the best part was during the MOB toast, the rest of that side of the family got up to sing "The Lord's Blessing" in four part harmony. It was extremely touching.
