Wedding Preparation
Getting Ready for the Big Day!
Page 1 Page 2 Show All
For our wedding preparation, we decided to do as much work ourselves as possible. Our reception dinner menu was fruit salad, breads and spreads. Kristina, her mother, Elisabeth, Sarah, and a baker friend Steve made ALL the bread in two and a half days!
Here is a view of the first day's product--every recipe pre-measured and ready for quick mixing! Kristina is standing by the marker board with an hourly schedule for the next day's baking--starting at 3am and ending at 9:30pm!
Amazingly, we were able to stay to the schedule! The oven (and next door neighbor's ovens), dough mixers, and kitchen was very busy that day!

Winding the strands into little rolls.
(Kristina's blue tooth gave her the ability to answer phone calls and organize wedding stuff while keeping her hands free for the dough)
Multiple batches of raisin bread, whole wheat bread, spelt bread, and spelt raisin, eight large braided challah bread loaves, and 250 boulkas rolls! Here's just a few of them on the cooling racks. We had every table and counter FULL!

Bagging the piles and piles of bread and boxing it to store in a friend's freezer.
The bread was enough for our guests the whole wedding weekend, rehearsal dinner, and wedding reception, plus left over for Kristina's parents, and Daniel and Kristina had enough to keep them through their first month in their new home!
We made over 1100 breadsticks!

Breadsticks and bread all over the house! (this is the living room)
Making our wedding invitations was another labor-intensive project! Daniel, Kristina, Elisabeth and Lisa all were very busy working on them!

Sarah came over every week for two months before the wedding to help us with projects. Here Sarah and Elisabeth are doing intensive cleaning before the wedding weekend.
