Occasion: Kathy and Atticus get hitched!!
Location: The Manor on Prospect Ave in West Orange, NJ
Edibles: the invitation said "feasting" and they weren't kidding....
Cold buffet: sushi; bruschetta; shrimp cocktail; raw oysters; caprese salad; smoked salmon; tortellini salad; marinated mushrooms; crudités; seafood salad
Hot buffet: paella; veal marsala; chicken in champagne mustard sauce; fried calamari; shrimp and scallop Newburg; eggplant rollatini; baked ziti; tortellini alfredo; carving station with beef tenderloin and roast turkey breast
Kathy insisted that they keep the buffet open all the way to the end of the event. Just in case someone wanted a snack after their lunch. (This kind of attitude is why we're such good friends.) So we guests enjoyed this spread for five hours.... and then dessert came:
Then coconut wedding cake showed up:
It was a sore trial for the ladies, many of whom were wearing form-fitting dresses. And I'm sure I wasn't the only one who succumbed to a food coma on the ride home.
Kathy and Atticus - may your marriage be as full of variety, flavor and luxury as your buffet!
