The wine for the occasion...
Again because of Covid, I have to prepare and cook all the food but I am so used to cook for a large crowd so 15 people is a breeze for me.
The first appetizer is a Caprese tomato, basil, mozzarella drizzle in balsamic & olive oil.

2nd appetizer is a poached shrimps with lemon juice, olive oil, avocado, cucumber, and chopped parsley.
Practicing distancing so there is only 2 people per table.
Cheers!
A toast to the newly wed!

The 5th dish is baked penne with eggplant and Italian sausage.
I figure that up to this point all the dishes were pretty light so adding a pasta will definitely fill up your belly.

Lunch is over and it is time to bring out the wedding cake.
The cake
Fro the wedding cake, I made a Berry crème frâiche cake.
Decorated the cake with fresh Peonies since I am not that great at piping.
The cake turned to be stunning with the fresh peonies.
