Little diddy about Rich and Amanda ( two American kids living in Brooklyn Heights )

We are somewhere in the lovely wilds of Southwest Pennsylvania for the wedding of our good pals
Rich and Amanda.

AND the families were kind enough to invite us to the entire weekends events.
Starting with:
Rich's parents live in Houston, so this has been a long distance planning deal for them , this is where Amanda is from - really, I don't know the name of the town we are in, its not all that far from Pittsburgh. 
Dinner was at at a restaurant called NINO's and it was very good
the happy couple

 some really good beer choices...I was dd

 starters

 tuna brushetta, charcuterie w/ cheeses , olives
 veggies, inc, some OFF THE CHATS good eggplant, that was sort of pickled/ marinated
its there in the middle, must find out how to do this... pretty presentation as well!
 ALL sorts of pizza's including half fig and prosciutto, which is just my favorite!
 We just sort of sat in the back to let the families do their thing, but Rich came and sat with us. 
Some of his pals from college ( Duke ) were at our table as well, very nice people
 It was Friday night.....


 Challah from the MOG's hometown of Cleavland...They have family here in the greater Pittsburg area.

 dinner

This was some of the best sort of banquet food that I have ever had
 Beef Tenderloin with onions and peppers
 Chicken Marsala / YUMMY salmon in a lemon sauce, sort of piccata
 veggies
there was pasta too, but I did not get a pit, red and white...

 Amanda came over as well...
 Neil's plate
Rich's doctor Mom is a little tiny thing with some fabulous shoes who was a very kind and gracious host. Everyone was very warm and welcoming, the staff of the restaurant was tip top, great food - just an all around lovely evening....
