Festive menu

Today my husband and I are completing 2 years of marriage. A date that reminds us of that magical day when we celebrate our union. My wedding party was no mega event. She was attended by the closest friends and our family. It was a more intimate party, but no less beautiful and unforgettable for it.

The religious wedding was at the Catholic church followed by dinner at a restaurant here in Curitiba. We opted for a place that was already beautiful and did not need much decoration. Also, we would like the meals to be served French. That is, the waiter takes the plate to the table and changes during the entree / main / dessert sequence. This made the event more exquisite, but I make it clear to you that despite this, we do not spend horrors on the party. On the contrary, it was an honest value and very well calculated, which resulted in a super well done service in all sectors, both dinner and flowers, ceremonial and photography (produced by the beautiful Meliess).

Going back to the menu, in each item of meals that would be served there were two options that could be chosen on time by each guest. For example, in the main course you could choose between Milanese risotto tenderloin or fish with artichoke risotto. Everything perfect.

To remember this dinner of this special day, I decided to look for the risotto recipes that come with these dishes and share with you. The recipes are from TudoGostoso. Check it out below:
