Demeris Barbecue

Considering we're having a backyard wedding and that it's Texas, barbecue was the obvious choice for catering. It does seem rather ironic given that I'm a vegetarian, but Alex is a big meat eater.

We definitely want our guests from out of town to experience the best barbecue Texas has to offer, so when I asked around for recommendations Demeris was the unanimous choice.

I just booked the catering today. The menu will include beef brisket, sausage links, potato salad, cole slaw, beans and french bread.

"Central Park Love"

These park bench plaques from central park are utterly romantic. I'd love to know the full story behind them.

When my sister and her husband were married (10 years ago now), I got them a gliding bench for their yard with an engraved plate with their names and their wedding date. You know, to grow old on together...

Wedding Wands

I never really thought about streamers or wedding wands, but the idea of that billowing fabric is quite lovely.

Talk about a great send off!

Yellow Chysanthemums

Wouldn't this be a darling dress for a little girl in a wedding? To go along with this bridesmaids dress and this wedding dress I posted about previously?

What an adorable little girl!

Let's get married on the F train

Alex and I are both intrigued by the idea of getting married at the Transit Museum here in Brooklyn. It would be a super retro, funky affair.

And best of all, can't you just imagine us walking down the aisle (of the train) -- see above.

I'm officially putting this on the list of viable options, although I'm still waiting to hear back from them regarding pricing.

I went to a book release party there when Kathleen had her story published in the Subway Chronicles, and the venue was definitely fun but still sophisticated.

I can already see our wedding photos -- us posed together behind the ticket counter in the next photo or flirting with each other in the subway car in the last one.
