ok, so the picture is kind of hard to make out, but good gracious.we went out on our last hot date before marriage last night to Nora's in Dupont Circle. i'd always wanted to go there - the menu is full of savory American good eats and creative choices. well, it did not disappoint. we dressed up all fancy like, nestled down in a romantic, candle-lit table, and ate and ate and ate. and flirted. and mused on the wedding day and honeymoon and months and years after.
marrying this boy just might turn out to be the best decision i ever make.
i am still full from last night, so let me recap the menu while it's fresh in my mind.
i started with the salmon tartar and crostini, TH got the potato gnocchi and rabbit ragu.
next: the most delicious caesar salad i've ever had
main course: me - the black cod with snow peas and bok choy. him - the scallops with beets and turnips.
dessert: me - the meyer lemon tart with strawberries and ice cream. him - the local apple pie and ice cream.
GAH. everything was SO good. it's the nicest restaurant i'd ever been to in DC. we were probably the youngest people there, the rest of the clientele clocked in around 35-45.
when we were leaving, i thanked the hostess for giving us such a nice table. "we really enjoyed the dinner. it's our last date before we get married next week."
hostess freaked out, gave me a hug and expressed her excitement for us. then told TH he was lucky to have such a beautiful bride.
(between you and me i hate the word bride. but anyway.)
i was flattered. i was also drunk off love and calories.
we drove home to admire our new couch and coffee table. we are such adults. how boring. in a matter of seconds we were both asleep, only to be awakened by the damn metro that runs right outside our apartment and might be the death of me once i move into the apartment. but i digress.
here we are, 8 days before the wedding. things coming together. people are so kind. i'm touched by the kindness of friends, family, and strangers. weddings truly are a celebration and i can't wait to be with so many loved ones in one week!
