How was your (wedding) food?

Around here, most wedding food reminds me of school cafeteria fare, but a good meal was a high priority for us when we got married last year, so we booked a favorite locally-owned restaurant for the night. The chefs put together two entrees for our 100-person reception: pan-seared pheasant breast with rosemary mashed potatoes, grilled leeks, sweet corn relish and yam puree for the meat-eaters and fried zucchini with spinach-leek salad and heirloom tomato orzo for the vegetarians. It was fabulous, and (shhhh) no more expensive than the nice reception/banquet halls in my area.

Our cake was kind of pricey, but it was worth an extra $1 or $2 a slice to have a moist, delicious cake made with real butter!
