We took three vehicles. This is one of them. :P
We left around 8 a.m. so we had to stop for coffee. Well, my coffee cup got stuck by a safety pin that was sitting in the cupholder. As long as I kept it in there the cup didn't leak!
Rest stop
We got to our destination with no hitches! Here we are cutting up tomatoes for the salad.
Washing the serving dishes.
Making little meat, olive, and cheese appetizers
Cutting the cheese
The kale smelled interesting.
Putting water in the roasters
Filling the roaster pans with mashed potatoes
They are actually real potatoes. They're so good!
Dad likes to add onion and garlic powder plus a little sour cream to them.
Wrapping the potatoes up
A little peak at the decorations

We fed around 350 people!
Bridal table servers
Giving the table servers water and coffee
See Ben's phone up there? He did a time laps of us working from when the bridal table servers came to when we were cleaning up. :)
Some of us quickly grabbed a bite to eat before we had to serve desserts.
Some of us didn't get to finish because we had to start serving the desserts!
Almost all the leftovers and the dirty dishes. :)
Leftover buns
KK was carrying the trash out and it leaked on him. :P
The bride and groom
Ok, here is the time-lapse. :)
Looks like a very nice wedding with lots of interesting people!! I see a number of people from our area in the pictures. :) It would've been so interesting being there. :) Good job on your hard work in the kitchen again!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteGreat post!! I can't see the time lapse, maybe I'll come back and try again!! Miss y'all!
ReplyDeleteI can't see it on our computer either! But Rosalyn can! Strange!
DeleteLovely! I love how you all work together! :)
ReplyDeleteHow long have you all been doing this--making the food for weddings? The meal looked so delicious, I almost wished I could have had a plateful! And iced coffee, seriously! Haha! ;) Send me a cup!
All in all, enjoyed the pictures and the time lapse!
Thank you! I think we have served food at five weddings... It is so much fun! I'd MUCH rather do the food than have to sit through the whole wedding! :D :D
