We weren’t in the wedding, but we were invited to the rehearsal dinner since we came from so far away. It was a lot of fun, and I was honored to sit next to my friends, the mother and father of the bride. We have been good friends since before either of their kids were born, even though we moved away a long time ago.
This photo, taken around midnight I’d guess, sort of says it all. It was a great Italian meal, and there were many types of wine to sample. We stayed until the wee hours of Saturday and then all we had to do was climb the stairs to our hotel room.
Unfortunately, none of us thought to blow out the candles, so the fire alarm went off at 6:15 the next morning and we got to see what people wear to bed. Ahem.

"great italian meal"? I want details!
For starters, a lightly dressed salad and a basket containing 4-5 kinds of interesting breads. Then a kind of pasta I'd never heard of before that was a specialty of the Cleveland restaurant--it sort of curled over on itself--with a red sauce and truly wonderful spicy little meat balls. Penne with a white sauce absolutely prickly with fresh parmesan cheese. Tender rosemary chicken breasts. For dessert, a tray of bite sized pecan tarts, cannoli, cream puffs, browies, etc. All served family style.
There were, as you can see, bottles and bottles of various types of wine, including the groom's parent's home-made label. It was a fun evening and the food was fabulous.
