This past weekend, my wonderful friend Patti agreed to watch Maggie overnight for us, so we could attend a wedding in OKC for one of my childhood friends. Whitney and I grew up attending church together and have reconnected in recent years. It was a privilege to be present at her marriage to David, who seems like a wonderful man. The ceremony was lovely and the bride, gorgeous (her dress was a dream!). They were married at Metropolitan Baptist Church and the reception was held at Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. By far, this was the most amazing reception I had ever been too. We dined on breakfast (a family tradition of theirs is to eat breakfast for dinner) which was so yummy, as was the cake (the groom's is pictured above; amazing, right?!), and danced to Big Band music (rock music came later). I enjoyed catching up with some old family friends throughout the evening as well. We hope to have David and Whitney over for dinner one of these weeks when life settles down some and get to know eachother as couples. Thank you both, for a beautiful and inspiring wedding!
Holy crap, look at that cake! It's gorgeous and I've always liked groom's cake better than bride's. When I got married I told my mom that I didn't care a bit about my cake so long as the groom's cake was delicious. The wedding sounded amazing - I love the "breakfast for dinner" idea for reception food. It all sounded so great. So glad you and A got a chance to have a little time alone too!

Wow! That cake is amazing!! That is the GROOM'S cake? What about the reg. wedding cake? Must have been a ton of people there! How awesome is breakfast for dinner at your WEDDING? What a cool idea!! ;)
ReplyDeleteokay, sorry to repeat - but ohmygaah! That cake is enormous!!! Did they invite the entire state of Oklahoma?!?! or just want lots of leftovers?! Looks divine. Sounds like a blast. So glad you got to go! :)
ReplyDeleteYou must hear a comments from me too about the cake (I LOVE cake!) - that cake looks amazing!! I had to zoom in and check out the chocolate golf balls, pretty cool. And I love that they had breakfast for dinner, my favorite meal any time of day too. Kudos to your friend...you'll have to tell her how much your blog readership was fawning over her reception. Maybe when Jace and I have been married 50 years we'll have a party that big and I'll have to keep this cake in mind.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic cake! You'll have to email me more pics from the wedding.
ReplyDeleteSuz, what sweet words! Apparently, both cakes were devoured--there was nothing left over! Thank you so much for coming--David and I are really looking forward to an evening with you and Aron. Let's set a date!
