We’re doing an outdoor daytime wedding, so we’re having a BBQ reception catered: ribs, chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, the restaurant’s famous bacon mac and cheese, potato salad, and green salad.  3 small cakes on a tiered server: vanilla, carrot, and red velvet.  Gigantic cheese board appetizer, Krispy Kremes for the favors in little boxes.

Two salads- I cant rememeber what was in each one.

Baked chicken

Grilled fish

Fried ripe plantains

We had 3 different types of rice; west african style rice and beans, vegetable fried rice and another west african rice dish called Jollof which is basically rice and meat sauce cooked together. {DH is west african}

Vegetarian casserole

Meat sauce

For appetizers we had sausage rolls and other savory and sweet pastries. The appetizers were served to them at their table, as was the dessert. Only the main meal was done buffet style.

Dessert was a Red velvet wedding cake with chocolate fugde icing topped with strawberries.

FH used to work in a mexican restaurant that is VERY popular where we will be getting married (in our home town in MI), so we will be having basically a taco/burrito bar. It does not sound fancy at all, but I know my guests will like it WAY better than anything fancy 🙂
