Rehearsing how to eat?

For the rehearsal luncheon (which we decided was a rehearsal for how to eat food at the actual wedding reception, because we clearly needed to practice and practice makes perfect), we headed into Portland to the Cadillac Cafe. Jordan and Jessica frequented the cafe while Jessica lived in Portland, and I believe this is actually where Jordan proposed. There is a beautiful private room glassed off from the main dining room, and it provided an excellent view of a 1961 pink Cadillac showcased in a separate area.

At the rehearsal luncheon, Charlie got to meet her Uncle Jordan and soon-to-be-Aunt Jessica, as well as her Great Aunts Mary Jane and Chris. The food was very good and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Great Aunt Mary Jane and Charlie were fast friends.

I gave a toast to Jordan and Jessica (who is sitting to my left) also on behalf of Erin, who couldn't be there since she's less than a month away from her due date.

We stuck decorations for the occasion in the potted plants at the center of each table.
