Looking glam and relaxed in Key West at my good friend, Walton's wedding to Jeffrey!

What an amazing weekend it was. The food blew us away at every event.
The rehersal dinner was at a lovely restaurant on the water and I ate the most delicious Parmesan Crusted Red Snapper - one of the best fish dishes I have eaten! All washed down with Cakebread Chardonnay - it was heaven.

Lunch the next day was at the Vegan Sugar Apple Deli that I wondered across on my way home - that was the Avocado Salad that I emailed earlier this month...

I could write for hours about the beautiful wedding and reception. Never have I seen so much love surround the happy couple. We were thrilled to be there with them. The ceremony was touching and heartfelt and the wisp of air that came through the tent as the bride arrived with her father took our breath away.

The reception was spectacular with out a single detail to spare. The food was incredible and huge kudos to the catering team who produced such a sumptuous feast from the tent out back in the 95 + degree weather, including plated quenelles of ice cream for dessert. We began with an avocado soup, topped with lump crab and drizzled with fruity olive oil that was a perfect complement. Then a delicious golden beet carpaccio salad with mache and gorgonzola toasts. The entree was a petit veal chop and black cod (I think?) served with a delicious english pea risotto cake. YUM!
Then dancing to the incredible band that was brought in from NOLA and we were all sad to see the Bride and Groom depart by pedicab. It was a truly beautiful evening matched only by the bride and groom's happy smiles.
