...Continued From 7/4/2016: Saturday afternoon friends and family began arriving in town for Anusha and Randy's wedding. Saturday evening, after a brief wedding rehearsal at The Makoy Center, ...there was a dinner for the wedding party and immediate family, Our party was overseen by two very friendly, accommodating young waitstaffers, Ashley and Will, Randy's mom Mary Jane brought beautiful plates of her famous chocolate chip cookies, ...that have become such a hit since I first made them for Anusha's wedding shower back in May that I'm going to share the recipe so they can be part of everybody's dessert repertory: Blueberry Bars 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 cups flour 1 cup shortening 1 egg 1 pinch cinnamon 4 cups fresh blueberries 1/2 cup sugar 3 teaspoons corn starch About a cup or so of canned vanilla frosting
By six 6 pm the delicious hors d'oeuvres were set out: ...hot, thick-cut home-made chips, ...and veggies and dip. Soon family and members of the wedding party began arriving, Anusha arrived, looking exquisite in her rehearsal sari, one of her several wedding saris, Earlier in the day Anusha had arranged for a mehndi, or henna, painter to come to the hotel where the guests were staying to paint the hands of any of the ladies who wished with the traditional Indian henna designs. Soon after all the guests had arrived dinner was served.
Everyone raved over their meals. (Note to self for future reference: The Montgomery Inn has great food!) After dinner - and, of course, dessert - Mary Jane and Ken gave gifts to the bride and groom. After dinner we watched a sweet slide show of photos from Randy's and Anusha's childhood to the present. It seemed a good omen for the close of a happy evening. Though the best, of course, was yet to come.

Really enjoyed all the beautiful pictures. The food looked luscious. Don't know the groom and bride but the Lyskays are our wonderful neighbor.
