Rehearsal Dinner

Today we went to George's Greek restaurant where we plan to have the rehearsal dinner and had a tasting.....sooo yummy!

Georges is a nice family owned restaurant that has a great staff and wonderful food.

Father and son team, George and Demitri Loizides proprietors, wish to welcome you to “A little piece of Greece in Southern California.” George’s experience encompasses 48 years in the deli and market area and son Demitri has spent over 28 years in the restaurant business – A winning combination.

Demitri cooks exactly like his mom, Rodou. He uses no shortcuts, exhibiting the greatest care and experience in preparing fresh, delicious, tender and healthy food for your enjoyment. Only the highest quality products are employed to produce these healthy, traditional, fresh, homemade Greek dishes, which are prepared daily from scratch. Demitri uses top quality Greek products, such as Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, in preparing these traditional Greek Salads, Sandwiches, Specialty Plates, and exquisite Greek Desserts.

Anyone is welcome to taste any of the wines before ordering, and is encouraged to use your fingers whenever possible while dining here.

Finalized the Wedding Site details

Today Tim and I went to the museum to finalize all the details of the wedding, like the linens, chairs, lighting, etc. We got there and the gal was held up with another client and they offered to buy us lunch. We said sure why not! We had wonderful lunch on the patio over looking the ocean, it was a gorgeous day to do so. I had a blackened salmon salad with pears, strawberries and mangos and Tim had a very large Kobe burger!

Sweet Traders

We went cake tasting once more at a small business in Huntington Beach called Sweet Traders. A lady owns it and she is the chef as well as the business woman. She is married with two boys but her husband works with computers and helps out when needed.

Turns out she has great prices and were able to try different fillings with different cakes and mix and match. So we tried the following:

Cakes:
White Chocolate Cake
Devils Food
Lemon Cake
Red Velvet Cake

Fillings:
Choc Ganache
Raspberry Chocolate Ganache
Vanilla Bavarian Cream
Raspberry Cream
Cream Cheese Buttercream

Can you take a guess at what we decided on??

Hotel Done!..Invites in the works

Its nice to finally have decided on which hotel to choose for the wedding block. The Westin has been more than accommodating! Rooms start at $139, so that's great! To book a room go to our Guest Information Page

I have also put the deposit down on the invitations, which are so cool! I love them, wait until you see them. Once they are mailed, I will post a picture. I found them on Etsy.com, the most creative site ever! I freakin love it!
