The wedding menu - Chicago Foodie Sisters-style

So, Chicago Foodie Sister Becky finally tied the knot yesterday. It was a super cool wedding, held on the campus of Notre Dame and giving a nod to her groom Tim's Irish/Scottish roots. This guy played the processional. :)

And the groom wore a kilt, as well.


They also tied in some Harry Potter accents since they are both big fans. The tables weren't numbered, they each had a Harry Potter-inspired name. I was asked to do two readings and one was a quote from J.K. Rowling. And Becky got my 11-year-old into Harry Potter big time. He even wore a Gryffindor tie for the occasion.

The two wrote their own vows. Tim totally won over everyone with his romantic words, including calling his bride "My lady."


This was on the tables.


Here's the beautiful cake. I just noticed there are unicorns on top. :) I'll have to ask Becky what that was all about.


So, the food was excellent. It was so much better than standard banquet food...you know, the usual family-style chicken, beef and mostaccioli. This was the pasta station.


And the salad station with lots of goodies, like slivered almonds, spinach, shredded radish, bacon and bleu cheese.















And at the crepes station, you could have a savory or sweet crepe made.


The menu...


The kids got fruit plates with their chicken tender meals.


Savory crepes

Sweet crepes





The pasta dishes. The gorgonzola sauce was fabulous!

  3. It was a wonderful time and the food and the cake was absolutely wonderful! I had the gorgonzola pasta dish, and the apple and cinnamon crepe. The cake was the best white cake I've ever had. :)
