A wedding tasting, told through dialogue

4:30 – “Thank goodness it’s still early…the parking lot is usually full by 5pm”

4:35 – “Is that rain or sleet?! It feels like its pelting us from the side. We haven’t seen wind like this in awhile” “Well, that’s March in the Outer Banks”

4:40 – “Here’s our homemade corn bread, just to start you off while you wait for Immanuel. What can I get you to drink?” “I’ll have champagne…this is a celebratory meal”

4:45 – “Hi y’all, I’m Immanuel, so good to meet you in person. I’ll bring out the first round of samples in just a moment.”

4:52 – “Alright, this is your appetizer sampler. We have the crab cakes, seared tuna tortillas, and the chopped mushroom filo cups. We don’t offer the charcuterie board in the tasting, but that’s the fourth appetizer on your menu. Our charcuterie chef isn’t here right now, and she doesn’t let anyone else put them together!”

4:58 – “Wow…the crab cakes are spectacular. And as a born and raised Maryland-er, that’s high praise”

5:10 – “Can I clear away some of these plates? We will make space for the next round”

5:16 – “And here are the station samples. We have your NC BBQ slider, your taco tortillas with braised beef and pulled chicken, along with the taco toppings, and lastly, your mac and cheese with the bacon and caramelized onion toppings”

5:17 – “I don’t know how I will find room in my stomach, but no way am I missing out on anything!”

5:35 – “Everything is as delicious as we thought it would be. We have a few questions. Can we do the pimento and bacon filo cups as well? Can we add a raw oyster bar? Do you host welcome parties?” “We can do all of that for you!”

5:46 – “We can’t wait to see you all in November!”
