Do you ever plan your dream wedding?
Really, I don’t need a big wedding affair that costs tons of money. Just as long as I’m with the man I love… oh, and as long as there’s chocolate involved.
And maybe some cute and festive Strawberry Shortcakes.
Vegan at a Wedding
One of the reasons weddings are on my mind is that my old college roomie just got married. It’s so weird, seeing my friends—people my age—getting married. Makes me feel like perhaps I should be thinking about marriage too… No, never mind! I’m still young. There’s plenty of time to be married! 🙂
For my wedding-survival tips and tricks, see: Wedding on a Special Diet.
As it turned out, the venue was well-equipped with vegan fare. Above is my first plate: balsamic portabella mushrooms and roasted asparagus, steamed broccoli, and fresh fruit. I also had a plate with hummus and whole-wheat flatbread. And then another veggie dish. The asparagus and raspberries were so good!
Above, with my second veggie dish. This one also had jicama, which I finally learned to say correctly: it’s pronounced hi-ca-ma. Like hiccups!
What would be your dream proposal? Or, how did your significant other (or you) propose?
Mine: He writes out “Will you marry me” in chocolate syrup.
Or maybe he stuffs the ring inside a chocolate cupcake. Heck, forget the ring. I’ll just take the chocolate. What’s so great about diamonds anyway?
My husband proposed at a fancy restaurant where we had a really intimate table set off from the rest of the restaurant.
I told several guys one time that they really shouldn’t get freaked out when their girlfriend talks about a wedding. When girls dream about a wedding, it really has nothing to do with the groom. It’s more about the day and all the pretty things that come with it. When I was younger and dreamed about weddings, the groom may not have even been there – I don’t really remember. 😉
I’ve never thought about the proposal, but I have thought about the wedding. It would have lots of red and white roses and a giant cake– not sure what flavor yet lol 🙂
My husband proposed on a bridge in our favorite trails. It was perfect. Just him and I and the dog!! Beautiful sunny day at one of our favorite places!!
Tony and I talked about getting married and then he surprised me when he got the ring. He asked me to light a candle and the ring was in it. I was totally shocked. I love that your dad asked so relaxed. I think that was sweet.
I’m impressed you had such a great range of foods! I would happily eat at that wedding!
My husband proposed to me when when we were hiking! We finally made it to the top (2nd highest peak in New York State!), and he made an incredibly sweet and thoughtful speech, and then proposed! I soon found out, too, that he had a tiny bottle of champagne in his Camel Back and had carefully packed champagne flutes in the backpack I was carrying, so we had a special little celebration on a perfectly gorgeous day, way high up on a mountain 🙂 <3
hmm. my dream proposal. I dont really care, actually, as long as it’s heart felt and the guy spends time into doing it right and doing something he thinks that I’d like.
and for a second I thought the “snacks ” you brought WERE the asparagus and stuff. I was thinking, didn’t that get messy in her purse? hahah 🙂
That is EXACTLY how my Dad proposed to my Mom. She said yes (obv!), but she said she was hoping it would be wayyyy more romantic. I’d want the guy to propose on one knee during sunset…maybe on the beach? To be honest I’ve never really thought about it.
I dont really have a “dream proposal”.. just not in public because Id get so embarrassed with other people looking on!
Children’s names, and now weddings, hm? Haha apparently I don’t think about the future enough?! I’ve never imagined my dream wedding… only my dream dress. 🙂 Now that it’s been mentioned, though, I want an enormous, super chocolatey cake with NO frosting. (I hate frosting…) Just… chocolate fudge instead of frosting, or something.
I can’t even begin to imagine an ideal proposal, but I have to agree with you about your dad’s proposal… I’d probably decline if I were to be asked so casually!
So fortunate that you were able to find something to eat at the wedding! Hope you had lots of fun too. 😀 I also have a friend that’s getting married (next month) and it really surprised me since I actually can’t imagine getting married under 25! Seems like it’s becoming more popular, based on other commenters…?
hahaha that’s cute! It appears as if a proposal is quite far off for me 🙁 haha BUT if I could pick, it would be somewhere that had a lot of meaning for us. With my college boyfriend, he always said he was planning on proposing by Lake Michigan on our campus at Northwestern. It was where he first told me he loved me. Granted, we broke up. BUT, it was a nice idea. 🙂
