Ceremony: We will be having a full Catholic mass for our wedding ceremony. We know some of our guests are not Catholic, and we wanted to be sure to prepare all of you in advance. It is very important to us. After all on our fourth date Eric started taking me to church.
Reception: Our reception is at a Coffee Creek Ridge in Shelbyville. It is an big red barn out in the country. It will be a fun celebration! There will be the traditional music and dancing. We plan on having some yard games, like cornhole for the big kids. There is also plenty of open space for the little kids to run around!
The Food: When we took our trip to Gaitlinburg (see the Proposal story later), Eric wanted the trip to be really special. After asking a lot of people around the town for restaurant suggestions, we decided to go to this little Italian restaurant. It was supposed to be the "best" in Gaitlinburg. Unfortunately, it was horrible! So, we are having the food that we wish we would have eaten that night... It will be a Build Your Own Pasta Bar. We know it is a little nontraditional for a wedding reception, but it is a funny memory that we will always share.. plus all the little kids should be able to find something on the menu that they will eat!
