Dear friend H is marrying dear friend D on October at the Hotel Monaco. I'm the Maid of Honor. H asked me to join her for the wedding tasting at Poste, the hotel's posh and trendy restaurant.
At the restaurant, we were taken to a private room where a table was set with the same dishes and cutlery as the wedding tables will be, and decorated with the same flowers chosen for the wedding centerpieces. What a delight! We then sampled a bevy of potential appetizers, entrees, and salads. Of course, I had strong opinions, and did my very best to keep them in check, since I was the lowest-ranking individual at the table (after the Bride, Groom, parents of the groom, and mother of the bride).
That said, I was pretty vocal about understanding the value of a duet (pronounced "dew-way" in this wedding party) and the necessity to choose items that create a dichotomy in flavor/texture/presentation. Overall, I think excellent choices were made, and it certainly will be the loveliest wedding of all. At the risk of divulging privileged information, I can not reveal the decisions made at this wedding tasting.
Can't wait to eat! Cheers to H&D!
