IT WAS SO FABULOUS!!! STARTED OFF A LIL ROUGH BUT IT WAS SO GREAT.
It wasn't a surprise and my mom, FMIL and I did all the planning and decorating. It took place at Oriental Plaza in Staten Island. Future Mulligan had hers there recently as well. We have 86 people, 8 tables.
The food was amazing. Its one of my favorite restaurants. The cake was from Mona Lisa in Brooklyn. My FMIL made her famous rice pudding, 'dirt' and rocky road candies. Not to mention a fruit platter and tons of italian cookies.
I got tons and tons of stuff. The one thing I REALLY wanted I did't get though - my kitchen aid mixer.
I did however get a 26' flat screen from FMIL.
we had Stak Images there to document the whole thing. By far the BEST decision.
