A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

The day has arrived! Mark and Bekka are getting married! Bekka had been checking the weather every day for a week leading up to the day and all it kept saying was rain. We all kept our fingers crossed and hoped for good weather – rain on a wedding day is supposed to be good luck right?

They couldn’t have asked for a better day, and there were in a few sprinkles during the day for good luck.

The ceremony took place outside on the lawn outside the Towers in Narragansett.

The Towers were built between 1881 and 1886. It has survived fires and multiple hurricanes, and remained intact when other buildings near by have crumbled.

You would have to know Mark and Bekka, but this was the perfect place for their wedding reception.

The bride is a talented artist. She and her father found a downed tree in the woods, they cut it into wooden discs that became the centerpieces at the wedding – Bekka did all of the artwork. Check out their signature cocktail!

Mark – ever the beer connoisseur, had some great choices at the bar.

And of course,  knowing Mark, I knew the food was going to be amazing! Well, that, and he told me so…

Both gamers, the cake was quite fitting, and they cut it with a sword before feeding it to one another!

We started off with the carrot and mache salad topped with a lemon balsamic vinaigrette.

We had the artichoke chicken piccata in a lemon white wine sauce with a Francaise crust.

And the pan seared George’s bank scrod with a decadent lobster sauce.

Dessert was green tea, salted caramel and lemon macarons from Silver Spoon bakery and the two cake choices were lemon and salted caramel.

And the favors were made by Ziggy from Fox Point Pickling! Mustard, reslish, sriracha and jam!

What’s the best wedding favor you’ve received?
