Matt’s mom took Matt, Michael his brother and the best man, and Sarah to Men’s Wearhouse this past weekend and they got the suits picked out. I heard they are nice and I can’t wait to see them! With that, the clothes for the wedding party are all finished, except that Dad needs new shoes, and a tie. We really need to take care of that this week! Oh, and Steffie is finishing her dress (I talked to her today), and I am working on my outfit.
I finished the flowers for the wedding last week. I have acquired everything needed to decorate the church and the reception hall. We found a freezer last week (yay for craigslist!) Now I am working on the food for the wedding buffet. So far we have tucked away in the freezer:
400 Aunt Kellie’s meatballs in sauce
140 pieces smoked salmon
14 dozen russian teacakes
6 lbs sugared almonds
italian sausage and italian meatsauce (wedding week dinners made in advance!)
And I have made a cheesecake, frozen it, and thawed it out, to test and see whether cheesecake can be made in advance and frozen successfully. Yes, it can, I am happy to report. We are having several different kinds of cheesecake for the bridal shower and now I can make them all this week and next and tuck them away. 🙂
Sarah is meeting with Aunt Anne Tuesday evening to plan the wedding cake. Everything is coming together!
