Just recently I celebrated my beautiful sister's wedding... which turned out almost 400 hungry Italians ready to see the spread and compare to other previous weddings. Well my Mom did not disappoint! To start off we had about a 100 Meter long antipasto bar (pictured below) that brought everything from meats, cheeses, clams, oysters, shrimp, sushi, grilled veggies, fruit, risotto, lobster, crab legs.... that this was before the 5 course meal!!
In my opinion I think this is a great idea to keep people moving and entertained while waiting for the wedding party to set up and prepare for their grand entrance! already filled from the antipasto... we had homemade pasta, sausage, chicken, vegetables,potato's, salad, dessert... etc.
What is so special about this was the conversation, laughs, jokes and special memories shared by all there that night! this is the meaning for a wedding. The celebration, and coming together over a great meal with amazing family and friends surrounding you.
12 AM strikes and out comes the pizza, cakes, cookies, chocolate, meat, fruit, pastries.... and more... needless to say there were a lot of left overs to bring home!
despite all the deliciousness from the night... I did not eat a stitch as I was so nervous for my speech and simply watched how much food people can consume in one sitting. :)
Congrats to my sister and I am so happy to be Italian!
