Wedding Update
How’s this sound:
Course One - Hors d’ouevres
1. Skewers: Moroccan spiced salmon
2. Phyllo: Tarragon almond chicken salad
3. Crostini/Bruschetta: Tomato basil
Course Two:
Weathervane Mixed Greens, with basil balsamic vinaigrette
Course Three:
1. Grilled Beef Tenderloin
2. Roasted Stuffed Quail
3. Seared Scallops and Shrip
Dessert:
1. Molasses Pecan Pie
2. Classic Creme Brulee
That’s the menu selected for our rehersal dinner. Pretty exciting!
The location is called The Weathervane, at A Southern Season. A mouthful I know. Its a cool spot close to the Carolina Inn, and will work great for our small party. Friday night, March 30th, we will be doing a quick rehersal, then heading to The Weathervane to dine. We have a private room, and the above meal will be for 14 family and friends.
Saturday March 31 is the big day. We are to be married at 5:30pm, outside in the courtyard of the Carolina Inn. We have a harpist set to provide some ambiance, flowers to decorate with, a cake being made to make a mess of, and an official-sounding-officiant to make it official…all set up for the day. In North Carolina, you must be married by a someone ordained to do so, and Mollie’s folks recommended a very nice Southern woman, who will work wonderfully.
We are super excited to have Derek Pearson making the long trip to NC to photograph the event for us. Below is a shot he took of the Elley’s at Travis’ wedding…cracks me up. Poor Brandon! (Forgive me for stealing the pic Derek!)
We both love his style of wedding photojournalism. His photos have great character and style, and he’s obviously got a great sense of humor. Really looking forward to working with him! You can find more of his stuff here - Derek Pearson Photography.
The date is coming near, and Mollie and I both can’t wait. All of the loose ends are coming together, and hopefully (crossing fingers) everything should go off without a hitch! Our meager party of 21 people all have their plane tickets ready and weekends free, ready to celebrate the big day. Two weeks from tomorrow….

Aw Marshie (combo of Marshall and Mollie:)) it sounds lovely! I am so happy for you! It’s going to be so wonderful and I can’t wait to see the pictures, I only wish I knew of Derek’s photography before I got married…Major props to your skills Derek!

That is AWESOME you get to have Derek be your photographer! Can’t wait to see the pictures. The menu looks delish- can’t go wrong by finishing out a meal with Creme Brulee. That is my theory anyways. And seared scallops- my fav. Have fun at the wedding, it sounds perfect!
