Tommy And Emily's Wedding, Part One: Partying At Adobe Agave

     Last Sunday, July 3, my son Tommy and his fiancée Emily were married,    ​

​​...at Swan Lake Event Center,

​​...in Powell, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus.
      It was a joyful event, as wedding celebrations tend to be. But for us the celebration began with a joyful prelude on Saturday, July 2, the the day of the wedding rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner.
       For the dinner venue I discovered in the Columbus suburb of Worthington a charming Mexican restaurant called Adobe Agave,

...that had a nice-sized party room,

...and yummy food that we'd stopped by to sample on a previous occasion.

       Prior to the rehearsal Claire, Miguel, Tom and I went to  Adobe Agave  to decorate the room with fiesta flags, 

...which we hung with the help of the awesome - and awesomely friendly  - manager Gilberto.

     From the restaurant we headed over to Swan Lake where we met up with the rest of the wedding party - whom Emily and Tommy referred to as their Wedding Cabinet -  for the rehearsal.

      After the rehearsal the Wedding Cabinet and their guests made their way to the Adobe Agave to begin the pre-wedding festivities,

...which started off with drinks and baskets  of light, crispy taco chips accompanied by delicious salsa and guacamole and a queso dip to die for.

     Tommy and Emily made "I.D. badges" for the members of their Wedding Cabinet with each person's title.

      For dinner I selected six entrees that the guests could choose from, among them fiesta vegetables,

...chicken or veggie tacos,

...served with all the fixings,

...and San Pancho Birra  beef bowl.

     There were also cheese quesadillas and tacos al pastor. Everything was pronounced over-the-top delicious and efficiently served up,

...thanks to the super, super-hard-working, and friendly kitchen and restaurant staff,

...and our superwoman of a wait server, Isabel

     After dinner it was time for the evening's entertainment: a slide show put together by Emily's parents of photos of Emily and Tommy from babyhood through the years with commentary provided by Emily's parents and Tom and I. 

     It was much fun.

      After the slide show it was time for dessert, delicious churros.

      The rest of the night was for enjoying the company,     

...and being happy.
