Picked my menu at the Waterview!

FI and I finally sat down with Mandi to go over our menu. She is really sweet and very helpful. FI and I had different ideas of where the head table should be and she came to the rescue with an awesome suggestion. Instead of a long head table against the windows and taking up some dance floor. Now the head table is going to be in an L shaped at the corner of the dance floor. We will still have the lake as our backdrop but I'm not going to feel like people are watching me eat the entire time. 

We picked Filet Mignon, Rack of Lamb and Chicken Roulade for entrees. For hors d'oeuvres we got scallops wrap in bacon, calamari, crab cakes, pepper crusted sirloin, lobster bread pudding, bruschetta, spanikopita and thai chicken. Just thinking about it is making me hungry!! Also since we are getting married on my brother's birthday(it was the only date FI and I could agree on), we are getting an ice cream  cake for him and Waterview doesn't charge cutting fee for it. Some venues we looked at were going to charge a fee for that.

    </div><div>Thanks Chrissy! I'm sure all your details will come together nicely! I'm glad I got it out of the way. If it wasn't for Mandi at the Waterview calling me I probably would of waited until next month<img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />. Now I just have to worry about what church the ceremony is going to be at. FI recently changed his mind and wants to get married at a different church.</div>

    everything sounds delishhhh uh oh im hungry
    sweet deal with the ice cream cake its nice to find people who are willing to work with u, i mean how ridiculous to charge u extra for cutting cake, ur probably already paying thousands of dollars. rrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhh people make me angry but i glad it worked out for u
