Famous Death Row Last Meals
Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous

The Hungry Bride has been sated. She was married last Saturday in a simple and beautiful ceremony on the grounds of an estate in Washington D.C., the city in which she and her handsome groom, Jon, fell in love years ago. In addition to being Sarah's co-worker (visit me at ShelterPop.com for home decor ideas!), I was lucky enough to be one of her bridesmaids.
On the day of the long-awaited event, Sarah was as calm, cool and collected as ever and in true food-editor form, she remembered to eat breakfast. The details were thoughtfully chosen and worked together seamlessly. The girls' bouquets even had fragrant herbs like rosemary tucked inside!
After the simple ceremony, guests sipped on lemonade and sangria and waited a bit impatiently for what we knew would be one of the best meals we had had in quite a while. We all knew that baked chicken with droopy carrots and dried-out fondant-covered wedding cake wouldn't be on Sarah's menu. Instead, we were treated to lamb chops, macaroni and cheese, dim sum, s'mores and even cookies and milk.

The Hungry Bride Gets Hitched
An elegant wedding program announced the joyous union of the Hungry Bride, Sarah, to her partner in life and at fabulous meals, Jon. It gives a clue to the aesthetic of the wedding--handmade, rustic and beautifully simple.

... and freshly squeezed lemonade. There was a chill in the air in Washington D.C., but who can turn down a tall glass of lemonade?

Fresh artichokes made a cheeky and natural addition to the green and white centerpieces, which also included hydrangea and herbs like rosemary.

Even the table settings were a smorgasbord. Fresh lemons and limes accompanied the artichokes as mantle decor.

At the bar, cocktail stirrers bearing the new monogram of the married couple cozied up to another familiar name -- Jim Beam.

Sangria anyone? Festive red-and-white-striped paper straws made the cocktails all the more irresistible.

Followers of the Hungry Bride know her day's mantra by now: "Eat, Drink and Be Married!"

The cocktail hour was filled with passed hors d'oeuvres, like these fast-moving vegetable spring rolls.
