. “A lot of my brides spend all their time and energy planning a menu around what they think

their guests will enjoy, and they completely forget about themselves. Don’t lose sight of the fact that this is a wedding celebration in honor of you. Make it special! Choose something that you

will really enjoy and remember as the first meal you shared together as husband and wife.”
