Originality Is Overrated

So we've been  thinking about wedding food a lot. We don't really know what we're having for our meal but we have an idea for the evening snack. We want to do mini foods, which apparently are 'in' right now. I've never been one to join the masses and do what everyone else is doing but I fell in love with the idea of having mini foods like sliders etc. I was excited about that idea but really nervous at the same time, because I never thought I'd be able to find an easy way to make all them mini foods, but I was wrong! Finland does get into what's 'in' and have supplied me with the necessary tools to make sliders! The help came from Clas Ohlson so technically it's Sweden to the rescue but who cares about the small print anyway? :) Now that we got that one mini food sorted, it's time to decide on everything else - nearly there now.. not. Happy regardless!

We also started trials on some of the stuff we're serving. Like these Cookie Cups. They're going to be amazing, as soon as we figure out the perfect combination of flavours. Cookie dough and marshmallow together sounds like an out-of-this-world orgasm for your taste buds but it was actually quite awful. Maybe it was just the store bought DIY French marshmallow mix but they ended up being as good of a fit as using a fucking tampon as a raincoat. No go. We'll keep working on that one. Other ideas included these cake lollies, but we're not sure about those yet. Maybe, maybe not. Shouldn't really have too many different things but then again, they usually serve bigger items at weddings right? What would be an acceptable amount of mini foods? Keeping in mind that we also have the sweets buffet and dessert as well as the cake and and and..

I joined Pinterest just to get some help with learning what I actually want at our wedding. I'm not artistic at all and I feel like imagination and being artistic go hand in hand, and that's why I needed some (read: LOADS) help with planning. I'm not one of those who have been planning for this special day for years or since they were little, so all I had was a big fat nothing to start with. But Pinterest has helped a lot. And I'm pleased to find that I actually like a lot of the things I see and want to find more (read: still trying to lazy out on doing anything original). It's all coming together slowly but surely. No stress yet.

I also downloaded an app for my phone that tells me exactly how long I have until the wedding. I'll start stressing when it says 1 month left. I'm still in denial and think I'll get all this done with the least amount of stress possible. But it's good to live in hope right? :)

We're going to the venue on Friday to make all the food that can be made like salad, so there would be the least amount of work to be done on Saturday (read: least amount of things to go wrong) and then we have a chef coming on Saturday to do all the rest of the cooking and stuff. We also have this super efficient girl coming to help with serving and plating and everything else but I felt like we need to have two people because there's still quite a lot they need to do, so I asked this other super efficient girl today, if she was willing to work then and she agreed! What a HUGE weight off my shoulders to know it's all in good hands and I can just enjoy that day knowing that even if things go wrong or something gets fucked up, I'll never know about it because these people are so fucking amazing at what they do! Lucky me :)

So originality. Turns out, not too important to me when it comes to my wedding. I'm super comfortable taking other peoples ideas and dreams (Pinterest) and making them a part of my special day. But that's what Pinterest was created for right? I think I'll be original enough wearing a wine red dress instead of white! It'll be great. I feel like I keep telling myself that a lot. Maybe some stress creeping in after all...
