What was the meal?

We did. We also attended our cocktail hour. We weren't about to shell out all that money and miss the food.
The main course was a combination, chicken breast and filet mignon. Salad to start, don't recall what the veggies were, and a dessert plate in addition to the cake. We offered pasta primavera to our vegetarian guests.
We also made sure to choose the best hors d'oeuvres we could. The salmon plate evaporated within 15 minutes (we ordered a second one on the spot) and, years later, people still rave about the baby lamb chops
Oh, our coordinator at the reception hall made a very interesting suggestion which we followed: cut the cake
before the main course. This way, the cake is taken away and sliced into portions during the main course, and the guests get their cake shortly after the meal, instead of having to wait, and wait, and wait some more.
