My Outer Banks Wedding Story - Planning Part 2

Our catering "top 2" have been narrowed down to Stripers, a famously delicious seafood restaurant overlooking the Pamlico sound in Manteo, and Red Sky Cafe in Duck; home of "eat with your eyes" fantastic tappas dishes. Both of these caterers made the cut as they put on a really nice display and samplings during the expo, and my fiance and I are fans to begin with of both. Stripers and Red Sky are appealing to us in the fact that they are consciously and obviously working hard to earnour business and they both cordially hosted us to AMAZING personalized tastings that were out of this world! Ultimately, like in many wedding decisions, the two of us will have to choose between these great options. However, we are very lucky to be in this position given the fact they are both working with us so well to make the cut! Cake, on the other hand, has been a challenge for us. We have been through several cake tastings with the vendors here - only to ingest dry slices of spongy material with a whipped buttery sugar spread on top. Bob does not enjoy dry or tasteless matter, and he does not take kindly the idea of serving such porous matter for the greatest celebration of his life! Third person talking aside, we have landed on a baker or two who actually make tasty moist cakes AND yummy cream cheese icing that we would love to serve to our guests! Stay tuned for the next installment - which shall cover our search for unique wedding invitations, catering decision, and will include some cool DYI wedding tips for those willing to get creative!
