Yesterday marked 100 days until I will be Mrs. H. How cool is that? We ushered in my last 100 “single” days with quite the celebration. Coincidentally, parents arrived on Wednesday for a weekend full of wedding planning.
Thursday Recap
Tasting at Winfield Inn: I’d heard the food was good and it certainly lived up to that expectation. We’re having food stations so our tasting was more like a 6 course meal with champagne! I was so excited to finally taste the food we’ve been discussing for months and show my dad the grounds of The Winfield Inn. Even better, I ran into Vic who was there for her layout meeting! (And then had to explain to my parents that I have friends in the computer)
Flowers: My parents picked up a test arrangement of my flowers from the florist. Though the arrangement fell off the seat and was destroyed on the ride home, I can still visualize what they will look like when a professional arranges them, instead of my mom. They are beautiful.
Cake: The benefit of ordering a cake from a bakery that doesn’t do sample tastings is that you get a whole cake of each flavor! This round we got Red Velvet and Mocha Almond Fudge. Verdict: Red Velvet is so overrated and rarely good. I’m done making excuses for you red velvet, though you are an excellent carrier for cream cheese icing. Mocha Almond Fudge=rich deliciousness.
My mom also came with a trunk full of gifts for Mr. H and me. She felt bad since my sister had 6 (yes SIX) wedding showers and I am having one. So we had a mini-shower last night where we got fancy schmancy liquer glasses and candlesticks that we’ll probably rarely use and fancy schmancy shot glasses and high balls that we’ll probably use frequently.
In case you can’t tell, my parents are basically the most generous, thoughtful, fun people in the world. I like to think the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
