Would you believe me if I said I have no pictures of the meals we served at our wedding?  I think everyone was starving and, really, who wants pictures of fish and chicken and steak?  Needless to say the meal was amazing... at least I know the steak was because I was not ladylike at all in the way I chowed that sucked down.  For those that haven't been a bride yet you have know idea how much it takes out of you.  Although I'd eaten breakfast very early that morning I was STARVING by the time that dinner rolled around.  We served a fish plate, a chicken plate and a steak plate.  I opted for steak with game with baby red potatoes and an enormous salad.  I'm sure it came with something else too but I was a little to enamored with the amazing steak.  Our venue served the BEST food, it was seriously delicious.

As for cake, we opted for a simple red velvet with butter cream frosting.  And yes, it tasted just as good a year later when we ate the frozen top on our anniversary.

We had a little bit of drama where the cake was concerned.  The lady was very nice the first time we talked over the cake and decided how it would look and taste.  However, later she was almost rude to me when I called to confirm everything.  It gave me such a bad vibe.  Luckily, the cake tasted great and in the end that's all that matters.

P.S. Please head over to Summer's blog Athena in the Middle and wish her a happy birthday!
