Including the bartender who will be thrilled with a not so complicated recipe!

Sometimes just picking your favorite cocktail is the best way to celebrate and- it’s your wedding so you can name it anything you want! If you love a Gin & Tonic with a squeeze of lime and you want to name it ‘Main Squeeze’, remember, your wedding, your prerogative! Have that bartender stick that lime on a pink hued drink pick to match your pink hued flowers and you are good to go!
Now lets eat, drink and be MARRIED![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
