Outdoor weddings in Portland can be an ifffy option. Our friends wedding on Saturday was set in a lovely garden. I was most impressed that there were NO tents ready for assembly in case the rain showed up to the party. The sky was a bit ominous but the ceremony did not get a drop. After the nuptials they provided snacks and drinks in the garden. The reception was held at the University Club (members only). It was a fine affair. The cow and I enjoyed a drink in the "Library" prior to a fabulous (veggie friendly) dinner of Chilled sorrel soup, Halibut with oyster mushrooms and a ginger glaze and herbed polenta cakes with chevre. The wine was flowing throughout dinner and once the toasts had been made everyone headed to the dance floor downstairs. The band was fun kind of a 40's swing. The drinks were still flowing and conversation lively, the cow was talking to some chick while I was dancing. The night ended with two yummy pieces of cake, one blueberry and the other a deep dark chocolate.
