Four Foods and a Wedding...(not to be confused with Four Weddings and a Funeral)

I have this fabulous cousin who decided to get married up in New York, so John and I left little Abby at home and ventured up North! It was gorgeous weather and we spent time walking all over the city. We left enough time to have dinner with an old friend from high school, at The Spotted Pig. If ever visiting, check it out.
Interesting menu.... Never would have tried it had it been up to us.... But, it was fabulous! We sampled pork tongue (a little like bologna), pork cheek (a little easier to stomach-it was like really tender BBQ) and my favorite: shoestring fries cooked in Rosemary, completely doused in salt (they just throw the rosemary in with the oil and it is heaven) Figs wrapped in bacon. Wow! No pictures...too busy having fun.
So, back to the wedding. I was not the hired photographer, just the annoying cousin with the camera.... got some fun shots, though!

There's the hired photographer. He is fantastic and so creative. One of his many talents is abstract photography. He is amazing with people too! Check him out here: Michael Meyer (I'm not too worried about the competition... he lives too far away! LOL! :)
I stole their rings for a little while so we could go play and be creative. My cousin, Kathleen held the light! Took some in the flowers, the grass, but this is my favorite! Love the reflection.

Yum Yum! Appetizer hour was the best part! They had these tomatoes with mozzarella poking out of the grass. How artistic is that? The very best were the coconut shrimp. I hunted them down every time I saw a tray! No pictures. They disappeared too fast! Yes....I love food!

They have soooo much fun together. Rich just shook her hand after the priest introduced them as married. The church roared! Then.... he kissed her!
