Brooklyn Wedding

The evening after the baby shower in Belle Mead we had another exciting wedding planning adventure in New York. One of the DJs we went to check out that weekend told us about a wedding his group was doing in Brooklyn. At first we felt a little weird stopping in at someone else's wedding uninvited, but he assured us that it wouldn't be a problem at the restaurant where the reception was being held. So we made our way into Brooklyn to the Spring Garden Restaurant. We could tell this was the right place because of the giant balloon arch decorating the entrance to the restaurant. When we entered the restaurant we found out that, not only was there a wedding taking up half the restaurant, there was another quarter of the restaurant being used for a baby's 1-month old celebration. So, lots of celebrating going on...

Once you're inside the restaurant it's easy to see what the DJ was talking about when he said we'd be able to watch the wedding without any problems because there was practically no divider between the reception and the rest of the restaurant. Everything was all in one big room, so everyone in the restaurant was focused on the bride and groom as they made their "entrance" from one half of the restaurant into the other.

We couldn't sit in the restaurant and watch the wedding reception without ordering something, so Phil's parents ordered us some food. Some tofu and spicy eggplant...

Taiwanese sausage and Gai Lan veggies...

More eggplant...

And some sort of beef...overall pretty good food.

We didn't stay too far into the reception. (The wedding games were less than entertaining...)

Afterwards we stopped next door to the restaurant at a produce store called Three Guys from Brooklyn so Phil's mom could pick up some fruits. I think they've probably been on some food network show or something...

And a random picture of cactus pears...Never had a cactus pear before, but they looked interesting, so here they are ^__^
