One Year!

Since we are officially one (leap) year out, 366 days away, so I thought I should finally update the wedding blog with some of the many wedding related events that have happened since our last post.

One of the most exciting things to report  is that we have officially booked the United Church of Underhill for our ceremony. This is the church that Matt grew up attending, the church I have attended every Easter for the past many years, and, of course, the harvest market church! The pictures below are from my first Harvest Market in 2006.

We also attended a wine tasting and dinner at the Old Lantern. This was a great opportunity to see the venue set up, use the cocktail hour area for the wine tasting, and try a lot of amazing food! I can't find the menu from the event but some of the things we tried were venison tartlets, escargot in a red potato cup, a local cheese and veggie platter, fresh mushroom macaroni and cheese, saffron risotto, fiddleheads, Wellington style beef tenderloin, and some kind of pork...

 

We have also officially announced our bridal party.
