Taste Testing

So I went taste testing yesterday. It is an interesting experience with the chef looking at you as try an assortment of appetizers and the main course. I tried this raspberry / bri pastry and after letting the taste of it sink in for a second the chef chimed in with a "put you on the spot" question if you like it or not. luckily I did but would have surely lied if I didn't. Next he "claims" that all the pastries were hand made, but I got the feeling that I could have found better appetizers walking the aisles at Costco. Anyways, after we left we kind of agreed that we weren't completely impressed by the food we tried.

My idea from the beginning was to get In-N-Out to cater our wedding. Before you come to any conclusions like I am a cheap bastard, hear me out. I would get the catering trunk to come out and make the food. I would then serve the In-N-Out burgers and fries and very nice plates with a ketchup design on the plates. The burgers would maybe be cut into four pieces and served with fries in the middle. I'm not sure how appetizers would work, but maybe something like a pop corn machine would work. Here's the whole point. I want my wedding to memorable not for how chic the food was or how uptight everything was. I want it to be relaxed with a touch of class. Me and Jenn are two regular people that enjoy down to earth things and I don't think I would want my wedding to be anything but that. I am also looking to incorporate these ideas into other facets of the wedding as well. I won't reveal them but they no doubt will be quite visible at the wedding. What do you think of these ideas?

If I can have the Protein-style cheeseburger sans spread, I fully support you in this decision.
