Saturday myself, Becky, Nikki and Tricia headed to Ocean Shores to get some things finalized for the wedding. We had a wonderful breakfast at the Hi lo cafe in Bremerton, then we were off! We made a quick stop at the Walmart in Aberdeen, and found these vases that are tapered and about 2 feet tall. They will be perfect for table scape's (and the best part is they were only $4)!
Next stop was the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino to meet with Courtney (aka Cookie) about the wedding cake/cupcakes. She had a plateful of different cakes and cupcakes for us to try! There were Red Velvet cake-sicles, Chocolate cupcake with a peanut butter moose frosting, cheese cake, German Chocolate Cake, Coconut Cake, and Carrot Cake! So I needed to pick 3 cupcake choices and our cake choice so we can freeze it for a year and then eat it. My choices ended up being Cheesecake Cupcakes, Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter moose frosting, and Red Velvet cupcakes with a Cream cheese frosting, and our cake that we are saving will be carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
Next up was meeting with Leah to check out the different places we can have the ceremony. We were told about a lawn that overlooked the ocean, but when we got there..... there was no lawn! But we picked the patio that overlooks the ocean and if it rains (keeping my fingers crossed that it stays beautiful that day) we will have the option to have the ceremony inside. We also got to see the reception room which will be held in the ballroom, and I also finalized my dinner menu.
After tasting all those delicious cakes and treats, we were starving so we when to the Homeport, where we had some lunch and a drink. Our waitress was, how shall I put this.... High on something other then life! Which made for an interesting lunch! I wanted to make my reservations at Alec's but they would not take my reservation for 26 people stating that it would be difficult for them to get us in, and if they did take my reservation we would not be able to eat until 8 or 8:30pm! So, we headed back out and in search of a restaurant that would take my reservations and we would not have to way so late to eat, well were we in luck! We headed over to the Shilo in and we meet Peggy, who was more then willing to help me! She took my reservation and said that she wold personally be taking care of our table that night! So with that we are set!
I accomplished so much this weekend it was amazing! I could not have done it with out the help of my "wedding fuffers" Nikki, Becky and Tricia! I appreciate everything you guys have done for me! My wedding will be just they way I want it because of you girls!
