Wedding at the Table - Menus

We just had our tasting last week and thanks to my mom and dad as well as the Pohlmeyer's we were able to choose our final menu. Here goes nothin'! Please keep in mind that our wedding is May 30th...the beginning of summer and summertime flavors!

Passed Hors d’Oeuvres
Goat Cheese Wontons with Apricot Red Chili Sauce
Pesto Pizza with Brie and Sun-dried Tomatoes
Proscuitto and Gruyere Puff Pastry Pinwheels
Tuna Tartare on Guacamole Toast
California Rolls and with Wasabi and Pickled Ginger

Champagne Toast with Salad
Mixed Greens with Strawberries, Avocado, Grapefruit, Feta and Pine nuts with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Entree
Teriyaki Beef Tenderloin and Asian Crusted Basa Fish
Parmesan Gruyere Dauphine Potatoes and
Grilled Asparagus in Zucchini Bands

Dessert
Wedding Cake from Maribelle...so delicious!
Graeter's ice cream in black raspberry chip, mint chip and chocolate chip
Coffee AND Iced Caramel Lattes...can't wait!
Plue two surprises for our guests...and too many of our guests read this!

Midnight Snack
And again...we've got a couple surprises up our sleeves...and no, that doesn't mean my dress has sleeves...or does it???

Now, for Nathan's surprise. During the cocktail hour Nate has decided to have a signature drink. Please note that he had NO idea what that meant when I first called his "great idea" a signature drink. Anyway, one day he said "I have a great idea! I'm going to make Pini Tini's for the wedding!" Well, I am so excited because I haven't had a Pini Tini since we moved from Charlotte. It's pineapple infused vodka (the part Nate is making) and some other delicious additions. I can't wait for our guest to try the Pini Tini's...and I was able to purchase four beverage containers to serve them from. Wahoo! We're hoping it will look something like this...but with only Pini Tini deliciousness inside!

The food sounds really good! I wish we could have had a tasting because we didn't get to eat anything but the wedding cake we fed each other. Too much mingling and dancing. And we had a grazer so that we would be able to eat. Oh well. Our guests had some great food!!
