You have to look good. We really dressed up. He wore his black suit, white shirt and maroon, black-swirl design tie. He looked very handsome. I wore my black three-piece suit with violet trim, gold and violet earrings and pendant. I had spent the afternoon getting my hair and makeup the best I could.
You need a sweet ride. The doorbell rang. There was the longest white limousine I have ever seen parked in front of our house! The windows were dark and the evening was dark. We wondered where we were going. Twin Mountain Steakhouse? No, we were headed near the center of town. Taco Bell? Then we turned at Subway's - but no - we didn't stop there either. We finally turned into the Chicken Farm Art Center and then walked into the Silo House Restaurant.
Good food is a must. We shared the Duck Diablo appetizer and the Hot and Crunchy Batter-fried Avocado. Lobster Bisque for the soup and a tossed salad. For the main course, he chose Tea-smoked Yellow Tuna with Chipotle Ginger Shellac. I chose Ribeye Steak with a Shitake and Carmelized Pearl Onion Glaze. We brought home enough leftovers for two meals! But we ate all of the Creme Brulee and fresh Strawberries as we sipped our decaf coffee.
Add some romantic music. As we were eating dessert, our waitress brought over her guitar and sang a love song she had written years ago.
Remember the good times. Rain had been falling off and on for weeks. The wedding was planned indoors, at the Bruntz's home, with room for 35 people plus the wedding party. It was a special blessing from Our Dear Lord that the sun shone that April 15th, so we could have our wedding in the garden patio. 65 people signed our wedding book!
Head back home. When we got back in the limo, we were given a bottle of champagne. They took us on the long way home - by the river and downtown. It was a treasured memory evening.
Mission Accomplished.
