Well today was my DH's friends wedding. I did not realize that he is 25 yrs older than her (18 & 43)! They seem very in love and I am happy for the groom as he is a really great guy. They had the reception at their house. Almost as soon as everybody got there it started to rain really hard. They had a tent set up in the driveway and it wasn't secure so some of the men were in tuxedos out there holding onto the poles to keep the tent from flying off. After about 10 minutes of getting soaking wet they finally let it fly away. As for the food it looked to me like they had made food in advance and had it in the fridge for too long. For example, the deviled eggs were rubbery and had ice on them. The meat and cheese platter appeared as if it had melted and then was frozen. I brought along a pasta salad and they had baked beans and coleslaw. They had a delicious chicken. However, the plates were small and they did not have serving spoons or forks so you had to use forks you eat with to dish out on your plate and you could not get that much. By the time we left two hours later we were still hungry. My DH and I and his two friends ended up going out for wings. That was a total of $44 for wings, ice tea, and two beers. Plus $8 for pasta dish I made and the $50 for the gift. It was an expensive day. Of course we did not have to go out for wings but one of the two friends my DH hardly ever sees so he wanted to hang out with him for awhile. All in all we really did have a good time.
