So Im going to try to stick to the food here Ill do a whole trip report on the wedding itself on the Weddings and Honeymoons section shortly
and although some of this is not food you would find in a Disney Restaurant, foodies may want to know what we ate that day (plus we did go to HDDR for dinner)
so here goes:
Breakfast was at 4 AM, and consisted of a bowl of Raisin Bran and lots of coffee
then at 10 AM (right before I walked down the aisle.), I realized I hadnt eaten and felt kind of lightheaded
my wedding planner literally fed me a half a twix bar and some cheese nips (I promise the food report gets better soon)
So after the ceremony (which was amazing) and photos (with the phenomenal Randy Chapman), we finally headed over to our catered brunch at The Attic at Boardwalk. The menu for brunch was customized, and included the following
Pre Reception:
-Fruits and Pastries
Reception:
-Egg Station (omelets made to order)
-Bacon and sausage
-Cheddar and Chive hashbrowns
-Crepes with cream cheese and wild berries with cream anglaise
-Pasta with Artichoke Cream Sauce and julienned veggies
-Wild Rice
-Seared Chicken breast with apple, fennel, and fig jus
-More breads and pastries and stuff
It was all delicious! I ate very little here I had an omelet which was amazing, and a couple of the crepes (which qualify as contenders for the best thing I have ever eaten in my life). I picked at everything else, but the general feeling from guests is the food was awesome. Ill have to add pics to this later, as I hevent got any good ones yet.
Except this one of a crepe
.yum
I am drooling right now
Oh and here are a few of the pre-receptions foods:
Oh and the cake. Wow, the cake was amazing. They made it at the Grand Floridian I believe
.the bottom layer was lemon cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream icing, the top was chocolate cake with peanut butter cup mousse filling and buttercream icing. Both were great, and it was the single most beautiful wedding cake I have ever seen!
Late in the afternoon we headed over to HDDR for dinner (yes, we wore our wedding attire). HDDR is so much fun and the food is great!! The only complaint any of us had is that besides potatoes, there is virtually no vegetable served. Again, forgive me as it was my wedding day, I have very few pics of the food here. They served salad and cornbread to start (again I picked at this as I dont like to fill up on rabbit food when I know fried chicken is on its way
.my dress was very tight so I had to be selective with the foods I put in there!!
The main course is served in buckets, ribs, fried chicken, mashed potato
.mmmmmm, its all delicious! I didnt try the ribs as I was still in a very white dress, but I did eat a huge piece of chicken and some mashed potatoes!
If you are wondering about the look on Adrian's face here, he is saying something like "This is the biggest piece of chicken EVER!"
I kind of ended up missing out on the Strawberry Shortcake because I got picked to be in the final act for the show
which was funny the actors all came over a few times to chat with us, we were right in front of the stage at 2 tabes with 26 people included, with us in wedding clothing, so it was kind of a spectacle. I at one point said to one of the guys I dont mind being singled out and picked on, but please please please dont make me get on stage, Ive been up since 4 AM and I am just not cut out for that tonight
. He says Sure!
the 15 minutes later comes over and drags my butt up there to be in the show
it turned out pretty hilarious and I survived (although it was yet another point in the day where I was afraid I was going to pass out publically, I didnt).
Adrian said the strawberry shortcake was amazing. In all fairness he did save me a few bites, but after the show was done dinner ended pretty quickly so I didnt get a chance to try it.
After dinner was over, we headed over to the UK upper terrace for our Illuminations Dessert Party
.this was such a cool experience!
The dessert party menu was:
-Panhandle Pecan Tarts
-Key West Key Lime Tarts
-Winter Haven Orange Tarts
-Hastings Sweet Potato Buttons
-Homestead Banana-Chocolate Brownies
-Miami Guava-Cheese Pinwheels
-Tarpon Springs Baklava
-Cream Horns
-Fresh Fruit Salad
-Fruit Punch
-Coffee, Decaffeinated Coffee, and Selection of Teas
-Flavored Syrups and Sticks, Sugars, Cream, and Honey
At the end of the night when the photographer was done with pictures and many of the guests went home I tried some of the desserts
again Disney outdid themselves!! They were absolutely amazing (with the exception of the key lime tarts which were a mousse-like texture which I cant stand). Ill add pics as soon as I get them
it was pretty epic all in all.
Sorry for a whole day of foods with few pictures, but I promise when they come it will be worth it!!
Up next, Wolfgang Puck's...
