Erika & Cliff’s story.
// 10.11.25 //

Where do I even begin with this one? It was the moment Erika walked down the aisle, surrounded by her and Cliff’s loved ones & seeing the look on his face when he saw her. I knew they had something so special, that only comes around once in a lifetime. 

The laughter, the dancing — every single moment felt alive.

Their day was filled with so much joy and heart. From their emotional first look to their first dance, her dance with her dad, Cliff’s dance with his mom, and all the quiet in-between moments that made this day unforgettable.

This one will stay with me for a long time. The way they look at each other, the energy, the love. Pure magic.

Last Sunday, I let the menu choose me.

At manna’s Beggers Can’t Be Choosers, a chef choice’s dinner, I picked The Fiver: one veggie, one mystery, one fish, one meat, and one dessert. No substitutions, no hints. Just trust.

🥒 pickled plate with okra, pickles, onions, pickled watermelon rind, & banana peppers 

🥬 kiltgreens in duck fat and chili aioli

🦀 Crab cakes with summer relish and remoulade

🍝 Hand-rolled bolognese with brasstown beef, browned breadcrumbs and fresh parm

🍫 A chocolate torte with amarena cherry, caramel, and the softest quenelle of whipped cream

🍸 Cocktails one kissed with cacao, bourbon and espresso, and the other, a spritz made 
with peach, sage, and Thai basil 

Each course arrived like a little secret I didn’t know I’d been waiting for.

And each pairing felt like a wink from the universe. ✨

Sometimes the most romantic thing is letting go of the plan.

Leaning into the unknown and letting yourself be surprised.
