Wedding Food

Very few words today….but lots of food.

Pre-wedding on Saturday, my family made enough food for approximately 150 people.  There were around 30 people (if that) in attendance at the party.  This was completely out of control wonderful.  It was also my cousin’s birthday around the same time, so my uncle whipped up an adorable and fun birthday cake (he was also responsible for the gorgeous wedding cake farther down.)

Yes, that is my grandma’s macaroni and cheese.  All of my friends are familiar with this already, since I make it every chance I get.

It seems like no one got pictures of the actual dinner at Thirteen Moons Restaurant, which was really delicious.  However, we are overrun with photos of cake, cake and more cake.  My uncle went overboard, and I love it…everything was moist and delicious as well as beautiful.  The main cake is a traditional wedding cake with raspberry filling.  There were carrot cake cupcakes and german chocolate cupcakes along with a german chocolate mini-layer cake.

And little boxes (filled by Hicania!) with red and yellow M&Ms along with some other fun candy.

The “M” was sparkly and wonderful!

The food not pictured included prime rib, salmon, chicken, pasta, veggies, grouper and a side salad with a white balsamic honey vinaigrette that I really want to replicate. 

On Tuesday, Matt and I returned to Thirteen Moons to try some more of their food while not quite so busy with hugs and pictures.  It was a spectacular first dinner out together as a married couple…we ordered Sake Marinated Chilean Sea Bass with baby bok choy and a coconut saffron beurre blanc and Iron Flashed Buffalo Sirloin with horseradish whipped potatoes and truffled demi glace.  Both were outstanding.  Matt started with a repeat of Sunday’s salad and I had the Thai Shrimp Soup, which was delicious, but crazy spicy. 

Of course, on the drive back to the airport, we stopped at Chik-Fil-A for lunch. Our NC wedding weekend was complete.
