There’s no such thing as a free lunch
Maybe not.
But last night, we got to experience the next best thing –free dinner.
Mark and I went for our official wedding dinner tasting.
James had prepared and set a formal place-setting at a table in the corner, so that we had a panoramic view out both windows of the snow-covered rolling hills of the golf course. It was, in fact, the very spot where, in 142 days we will be formally and symbolically and legally bound together for life. I had a glass of wine and Mark had a beer and we ate proscuitto-wrapped asparagus and hot spring rolls in sweet chilly dipping sauce. Rod (apparently our personal chef) made us the most incredible garlic mashed potatoes I’ve ever eaten and we had steak and fresh bread with real butter. We also ate salmon covered in a lemon-dill cream sauce and for dessert, even though we were both exploding at the seams, we ate a delicious lemon-blueberry tart.
It didn’t seem to matter that I was covered in calamine lotion from the neck up. Nor did it matter that the only napkins James could find were mustard yellow. It was such a special experience to be treated like royalty.
I can’t wait to do it for real!
