Today I went shopping with my mother in New York City. Not the kind of shopping that maight instantly come to mind (you know, an afternoon shopping adventure @ Macy*s-Herald Square or Nordstrom's), but we went food shopping! And let me tell ya, it was so much FUN! Yes it was around 55 degrees today and yes it was an outdoor market, but those elements helped make the day what it was-- FUN! Also, my mom was with me, so that made it a great day too. I love to shop... even more for food, and more so when it's natural, God-given, organic food from the earth! I went to virtually every food tent in the Square! From the tent with the gentleman selling garlic jelly, to the tent that had every kind of apple grown in New York State (-- their spiced cider was de-lish! I bought a half-gallon!). I even visited the tent with everything made from goats' milk (yeah, so I didn't purchase anything there, I'm still not into the dairy, but they had goats' milk ice cream if you're interested) and the tent with already prepared vegan foods! I could go on and on and on, but I'll just post the pictures I took and let them do the telling for me! Enjoy!

We Have a Venue!
We have a venue!!! Yay us!! The deposit was given so it's official! The day's events (ceremony, cocktail hour and reception) will be held at ::cues trumpets:: Manor East in Massapequea, NY. Because we will be indoor all day and don't want our guests to feel too "cramped", we will be getting the usage of 3 different rooms for the day--for no extra cost!
Included with the venue is:
all the staff we need, French white glove service for the seated dinner, valet parking, bridal suite, linens, tableware & silverware and drinks for the cocktail hour and reception.
Notice anything missing??
THE FOOD!!!
This venue is giving us a great deal because including everything mentioned above, we're paying $25/person! We figure we will save more if we bring in food from another source. So, we'll see how accurate we were with that.
Our major thing now is finding a caterer that can feed the crowd all through the night for $5000, and getting our budget in order.
