It’s my favorite time of the year…WEDDING SEASON!! I love everything about weddings to the dresses the bride and bridesmaids wear to even what the guys wear. I love the decorations and how each wedding has different decorations to show off the couples style.

My most favorite thing about weddings it food!! I’ve been on the keto diet for about a 6 months now and I’ll be honest it’s been tough to work with. Theres a lot of food that I can’t eat but love to eat. In order to loose weight you must stick with either being keto or not keto. But going back and forth is going to make you sick and is not good for your body. 

This is the first wedding I went to while being on the keto diet. To be honest I was really worried. I didn’t know what I was going to be able to eat. I figured most weddings had some sort of meat but you never know.

There was a ton of food there. They had a cocktail hour which of course had appetizers. The appetizers consisted of spinach artichoke dip and crackers. They also had Swedish meatballs. I obviously couldn’t have the crackers so I went and talked with the wait staff and asked if they had any vegetables in the kitchen that they could bring out for me. They were so nice and ended up bringing out some celery sticks. I was shocked they had something! But like I always say it doesn’t hurt to ask. 

For dinner I was worried. I didn’t know what meat or vegetables they were going to have. But they ended up having a buffet style set up. And let me tell y’all, it was DELICIOUS! I ended up having salad, a ton of roasted veggies, chicken and a slice of prime rib. It was all so yummy.

Now on to dessert. Before keto I would always have dessert. You couldn’t catch me not having dessert. But I knew before evening going to the wedding I wouldn’t be able to have the cake. Which is my absolute favorite part of any wedding is the cake. So I planned ahead. 

I went online and ordered a box of Chocolate flavored Smartcakes. I follow a lot of keto people on instagram and they all said how good these were. So I had to try them. Not only are they keto friendly but also gluten free. And guys they are ZERO net carbs. It couldn’t get any better. Before I left for the wedding I popped one in my purse and was on my way. By bringing a smartcake I was able to fulfill my sweet tooth as well as not feel left out while everyone else is enjoying cake. 

This wedding was such a special day for these two friends of mine. I was so happy they allowed me to be apart of their day and celebrate them.
