Giles & Sam get Married

There were many many more photos taken, but here is a selection of some of the better ones that give you an idea of the event.

Well we are finally looking organised now with everything coming along just perfectly. One of the things we had not done that a lot of people had asked us about was a gift registry. It was a fairly simple solution, send Sam off shopping! She has done a fantastic job of putting together GREAT list of items that are fun, needed, or just cool looking from Gawk & Leer in Seven Mile Shops here in Grand Cayman.

Previously we had looked at other options for our wedding cake. After a sit down with John from Azzuro Cafe, who is doing the catering, he got us all excited about what he would do with it. After we told him what we had in mind he started talking about what he had been wanting to do.

It turns out he has been wanting to make Rum Cakes and potentially even get into it with a local rum company, 7 Fathoms. So look forward to potentially being the first people to try a brand new Cayman Islands product specially made just for our wedding.

Charlie Goes Electric – Flow
Ideas for music have been flakey or not very special up until recently. The other night we ventured by Calico Jacks, where we have heard people do open mic before and seen other bands playing .. but somehow we have never been there for Charlie Goes Electric. Whilst we have not booked them yet they are by far and away our top local choice right now and I am sure we will be emailing them soon enough. Check out the stuff below for some example or their Facebook Page for even more.

After running down a few options which seemed great at first lack of response from the caterers made us start looking elsewhere. Sam took the initiative to go speak to the gJohn from Azzuro. He was able to do everything we want to do at a great price. Infact they are taking control of more than we were expecting. We went to them with the below sample menu idea and I believe it is going to be fine tuned, added to and improved. (along with some special items for our veggie and pescitarian friends!)

We went down and had a sample meal and tried some wine pairings and we loved it all here is what to look forward to:
On the Grill:
Jerk Pork, Local Fish, BBQ Chicken
Sides:
Rice and beans, Celeriac coleslaw, Arugula salad, Tomato salad
Dessert:
Rum cake and berries… (as a wedding cake)

For anyone considering staying at Sunshine Suites you may be interested to know that it has a superb in house restaurant. I have eaten there a few times, and love the burgers. It seems I am not the only one as they are now the number one restaurant on Trip Advisor.com.
