We had cocktails on the muddy lawn. It all went by in a bit of a blur of joy. My mother always used to complain that she never got to try the shrimp at her wedding (and then another family member would chime in: They were so big!), so I asked one of my friends to bring me as many appetizers as she could. I highly recommend doing so if you can eat (I could, George was too excited to).

(I believe those are beet parfaits.)

Part 2: See each other and group pictures!
Part 4: The Ceremony is the most important part

The beet parfaits look lovely. Your delgation is a great idea. I keep hearing that brides forget to eat, but I love my food and forgetting to eat seems crazy to me.
I agree they look amazing! I wasn’t able to eat at my cocktail hour….to excited & busy mingling :)
