I had a tasting at the Palais today with my 'winter bride' Kate (which is kinda funny since Kate is from Texas and now lives in California). Kate's wedding is on February 28, 2009, at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, with the reception to follow at the Palais Royale. Among the hor d eourve options we tried were mini burgers, or, as we like to call them in the midwest, sliders. These were served on a bun that I can only describe as being sort of like phyllo dough - and they were really yummy! I would never have thought to use this type of thin, layered flakey crust on a mini burger, but I am telling you, it works! Guests will also be welcomed in from the wintery cold with hot Irish Coffee's - how perfect after a wedding at Notre Dame! Can't wait!

I just got an email from a former bride, Sarah (Beddingfield) McIsaac asking to be a friend on her Facebook page. Well, OF COURSE - only problem was, I didn't have a profile on Facebook.....! My web guy has been pestering me to do this (sorry Brian), and honestly, I really wanted to see the pics Sarah had posted on her profile, so I did it! Now, after seeing pics of her and her groom, Brian, (geez has it really been over 2 years since the wedding?) I'm having separation anxiety over them, all over again! Truth be told....I have separation anxiety after all my weddings! After spending a year or more planning with my clients, I get a bit emotionally invested, knowing full well, once the wedding is over, most of them will leave South Bend to begin their lives. Its part of the deal - I get it...but it doesnt' stop me from thinking of them, and wondering how they are. So Sarah, thank you dollface, for contacting me!! I DO (no pun intended) think about you, miss you, wish you well. If any of my other former brides happen to come upon this blog entry, give me a shout out - I would love to hear how you are doing. I think of you often, I really do.
