I love pumpkins. I mean, I really, really love pumpkins. I am like Bubba with shrimp when I start listing out the pumpkin-related foods I have tried:
pumpkin pie
pumpkin bread
pumpkin muffins
pumpkin pancakes
pumpkin waffles
pumpkin coffee
pumpkin soup
pumpkin cookies
pumpkin cobbler
pumpkin cheesecake
pumpkin ice cream
pumpkin seeds, roasted
pumpkin lasagna
pumpkin spice latte
pumpkin spice hot cocoa
I also love decorating with pumpkins and other fall decor...our wedding had an autumn theme. For the ceremony, the bride's maids wore rich copper dresses, and their bouquets were deep autumn colors. The groom's men had coordinating vests/ties. My dress was ivory with champagne accents, and JR wore a champagne vest and tie. The flower girls (Autumn Fairies) scattered silk fall leaves instead of flower petals. The unity candle holder and taper holders had pumpkins in and around them.
At the reception, we had mini pumpkins and gourds on the tables with silk fall leaves scattered all over. The table numbers were cut-outs of fall leaves in rich autumn colors, and the bud vases that held the numbers were filled with tiny acrylic pumpkins. The place card holders were mini pumpkins. The only thing that was NOT pumpkin- or fall-related was the cake "topper." We had Superman and Wonder Woman figures for that. ;-)
This year I vow to try even more pumpkin-flavored treats...and I vow to remember why it is I love pumpkin so much - my husband and I share a love of pumpkin, a love of autumn, and a love of a lifetime.
