Greg and Jen’s Rehearsal Dinner

March 19, 2010

I had a really nice time at the rehearsal dinner tonight. It was wonderful celebrating Greg, my brother-in-law, and his wife-to-be, Jen. They’re such a great couple.

Our evening, started with a limo ride into Boston– and, of course, we were well-prepared for the trip with lots of champagne! ;-)

The rehearsal dinner was held at the Harvard Club of Boston.

The downtown Harvard Club had the most amazing views of the city!

Before dinner, we enjoyed a cocktail hour with drinks and passed appetizers.

I also enjoyed a vodka dirty martini. (I’m on serious DM kick lately, huh?)

After about an hour, it was time to sit down to a lovely 4-course dinner.

But, first Mal’s dad and Greg’s mom said a few words and we toasted to Greg and Jen.

Before the first course was served, I enjoyed a yummy raisin-walnut roll.

The first course was a creamy squash soup with a strong apple cider flavor to it. It was delish!

And, then we had a spinach salad with tomatoes, red onion, and a ring of bacon on top.

The main course was grilled salmon with asparagus and fingerling potatoes.

Dessert was a cool, key lime custard with coconut and fresh berries. Mmm!

I left dinner pretty full, but it was definitely worth the splurge.

Heading to bed. Good night!

I walked by the Harvard Club all the time on my way to Newbury Street, and I always desperately wanted to sneak in and crash the awesome looking parties! I’m jealous you got to go!
