Raw Life Coaching

It’s now almost the middle of March and our wedding is right around the corner.  There are so many things on my wedding to-do list, it’s getting a little scary to look at it!

I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that I was wrong.  And I am very happy to admit it on this one!  If you remember I was lamenting that there was no one local to do a raw wedding cake.  I was thinking about having one flown in.  Well, there will be no need to do that anymore!  We’ve now met the Pure 2 Raw Twins who happen to be local!  They aren’t just local, they live right down the street from us!  And they run the  first raw bakery in the Triangle.   Nice, huh?   We’ve worked out a deal with the Raw Twins (www.pure2raw.com).  They are going to provide us with the top two tiers of our wedding cake while our caterer will make the other two tiers and will decorate the cake.  This way, Rob and I can serve the two tiers of vegan cake to all of our guests who are not raw, one tier of raw cake to our family (and friends)  who are raw, and then put the top tier of raw cake in the freezer for our 1st anniversary.  It’s going to work out perfectly!

One of the last things for me to consider are the thank you gifts.  I’m not really sure what to give!  In a lot of the wedding magazines I’ve looked through (and at bridal shows) it seems like setting up a Candy Bar has become a trend.  They set out cute little bags or take-out boxes and you can fill them up with a variety of candies as you leave the reception.  While I like the idea, I, of course, don’t like the candy part.  I thought it might be fun to do something like this with nuts and dried fruits, so everyone could make their own trail mixes.  Maybe if I have time (am I being naive, here?) I could make a bunch of candied nuts to throw into the mix.  Or…. we could buy little boxes and make chocolate truffles to fill the boxes and hand those out.   Anyone have any thoughts or other ideas?

Rob and I are planning our Hawaiian honeymoon.  We can’t wait to try out the raw (and raw friendly) restaurants in Maui, and are looking forward to all of the fruit stands along the road to Hana.
