<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Greetings to all I want to convey a quick thanks to everyone on the list--I've learned a huge amount through the list, and have been much more able to cope with my celiac diagnosis and the subsequent changes to my life. It was a shock, even though I grew up with my mother being a celiac. As I come up on my 1 year anniversary of being GF, I'm thinking about my next big challenge. I'm thinking about trying to plan for my own (very small) wedding this Spring/early Summer. I realize that I'm flying in the face of Martha Stewart and the rest with not leaving much time to plan--but this isn't going to be a huge production. The question is: How much success have people had with caterers for GF events (weddings/parties etc.) In particular, can anyone suggest someone for the DC/Northern Virginia area? I'm not too worried about the general menu-- I can work through that--I'm a bit worried about a "traditional" wedding cake..... I'm tempted to just try and work through this by doing all the cooking myself--but I would like to be able to enjoy myself as well! Please e-mail me privately and I'll post back to the list as appropriate. Many thanks for the suggestions. Lisa Symons Falls Church, Virgina
