Here comes the bride.
Becky's surprise, an ice sculpture. Notice the fruit waterfall and assorted cheeses. When we got to Illinois I asked A.A. if this was going to be a light luncheon like Morgan's reception, she said NO, only snacks. Holy smokes! If this is snacks I'd like to see a dinner buffet.
To begin with we had pulled pork sandwiches then sushi, won tons, artichoke dip, ham and asparagus roll ups, assorted fruit, assorted cheese and crackers, chicken teriyaki skewers, shrimp and cocktail sauce, vegetables and dips.
I tried sushi for the first time, It wasn't too bad.
Then we come to the dessert table.
Tarts, eclairs, cheesecakes.
Chocolates,
Dipped strawberries and ice cream sundaes with assorted sauces, whipped cream, nuts and cherries. Also individually wrapped Jelly Bellies.These are random photos of the guests.
Oh, I forgot the punch bowl and iced lemon water. Delicious!
For some reason Noah is alone in the receiving line.
Our Rachel!
Brooks really enjoyed the buffet and Seth really enjoyed the girls.
Jim hid Becky's food, she scowled at him.
Beautiful bouquets in the rest rooms.
Jim doing what he does best. Working!

It's now 9:05. The clean-up crew has started.
The loaded Suburban.We had a great time. The food was delicious and the company was even better. Thanks Anne Adele and Maurie for the crystal pitcher and the silver tray for Miranda, we will always treasure them and the time we spent with your family. Thanks also to Noah for the bowl. I'm excited to have an original Noah Coleman piece.
Nauvoo pictures will be posted later along with views of the deluxe accomodations in
Batavia.
