Tara's & Jason's Wedding Continued
Jason has purchased two
rolls of 33 mm film with 36 exposures on each roll, and has given his camera to a friend to take
the wedding shots that he and Tara have decided upon. The expense of the development can be absorbed
in the weeks to come.
FILM: $10
Tara has a friend from school
who plays piano and she has agreed to play for the wedding. A CD player is going to be setup
for the Reception and will feature the couple’s favorite songs.
The couple has decided on
serving bowtie pasta, a vegetable tray, a cheese and condiment tray, wedding punch, white and
chocolate dipped strawberries, the French Silk wedding cake and a Groom’s cheesecake.
All the items on the menu
have the advantage in that they can be prepared the day before the ceremony. The recipe for
bowtie pasta allows this version to be served cold.
Bowtie Pasta
Prepare two 16-oz boxes
(or large boxes) of bowtie pasta as directed on package, drain and cool.
- A spoon of olive oil will
keep the pasta from sticking together.
- Add Italian dressing to
the pasta to your preferred consistency.
- Toss in a few small black,
pitted olives and red sun-dried tomatoes if desired.
- Serve cold. Be sure to chill
serving spoons with pasta.
- Decorate with parsley springs
and a dash of paprika if desired.
- Use any pretty serving dish
you already own, or borrow one from a friend.
