Our son is getting married on Friday, and there will be a reception for about 200. Thankfully that is all laid on at the Old Mill in Toronto. But the happy couple have asked us to play host to more than 30 people for the rehearsal dinner on Wednesday, and to serve breakfast, or brunch, to half a dozen groomsmen on the day of the wedding. On Saturday, we will have a whole crowd of our friends and relatives from out of town over for drinks and a barbecue. We are serving tapas and tapas like dishes for the rehearsal dinner, and are getting a head start on it today -- Spanish meatballs with a lot of garlic nutmeg; a white bean salad, also Spanish; roasted red peppers; a whole salmon, poached and served cold, probably with curry mayonnaise; a couple of large Spanish tortillas (egg, potato and onion); and some desserts. The groom and his pals get scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit. For the bbq we will keep it simple and do burgers with potato salad and probably a huge apple crisp for dessert. After all this we will be happy to head out to our country place and collapse for a week or two. |

City Hall and lunch with the two witnesses with license and marriage certificate fees < $100. (Had they let us have Saint Patrick's it would have been considerably more. laugh123 ) |

I suggested, in jest, to the bride that they go across the border, buy some really cheap vodka, buy a bunch of burgers and buns from Costco, and serve each guest vodka with koolaid and a hamburger. She was not amused. |

That is funny My first wedding we ate at the McDonald Hotel in Edmonton, the best man was drunk, the groom drove him home and got stuck in a ravine while I was being serenaded by the Four Lads - until 6 am. Seeing at how the marriage turned out I am glad I had something nice to remember. |

At the Marriage Feast of Canaa, Christ's mother came to Him and said "They have no Wine." And then Christ invented Manishewitz...and the Jews developed diabetes from the sugar content. And Judas was heard to comment: "Didn't the dummy ever hear of BORDEAUX?" Edited by Trotsky, Oct 3 2015, 01:36 AM.

Have you never seen a Presbyterian Screw-driver? They look just like the bottle openers that are found in Texas! |
