Your lighter menu option: Appetizers Bruschetta Shrimp skewers Crab bites Suggestions Bruschetta Watermelon and feta skewer drizzle with balsamic glaze or Fruit skewers I like the quesadilla idea as you can do meat and veggie options. They shouldn’t be as “heavy” as Kayla mentioned tho. At first glance of the shrimp and pineapple skewer, you could tell that the pineapple is canned. I don’t like the presentation. The pineapple could still be grilled tho. Maybe a bacon wrap shrimp option? Crab bites could be a little bit smaller. However, I like the look along with the dip for an appetizer and mostly because yawl really liked it. The BBQ chicken slider option could be on a smaller and more dense bun. Maybe a mini brioche bun? The bruschetta looks yummy!!! On to dinner.. Salmon and white wine pasta is always a hit and would be a perfect entree. I like the green beans with the onions and tomatoes added. I’d offer a veggie medley option along with the green beans for the entree Maybe add Bread sticks?? If you haven’t done so already, request options for vegetarians as well as those with seafood allergies Soul Food menu Since yawl didn’t care for any of the soul food, I’d suggest another caterer OR scrap that idea all together. I’m not going to suggest much of anything regarding this particular caterer’s soul food menu as yawl have already come to a consensus on that. I will say this.. only because I love sweet potatoe. 😄 The soufflé shouldn’t be super sweet as you still want to taste the sweet potato itself. It’s not meant to be a dessert. The drink options are on point!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Yawl got this!! 😍😍

I live in the Atlanta area and have a suggestion on a catering company. Give Carlyle’s Catering a try this is what they do best and there food taste delicious. I’m not a subscriber to your Instagram but will follow today. I have to agree with Marcus, choice number two just works because of the style of decor and the colors. The copper tub will look beautiful for a while but will require maintenance throughout the years because of the water stains that will develop over time. You want to enjoy the tranquility of taking a bath in your beautiful space not it turning it into a nightmare as you walk into your space of tranquility. Well, I hope this helps. Looking forward to the next vlog.

Hello Marcus and Kayla, Try a local ATL caterer with great reviews. 👍🏻 They offer something for every taste bud and the food is 🔥 PUNKIN'S CATERING
One suggestion is to make sure you have a chicken or beef option for your guests that don’t eat seafood.
Hi y’all, happy to see you back!!! I would change the pasta to a penne or ziti noodle because it will look better than people having to slurp the strings of spaghetti up to their mouthes..it’s a cleaner look! Remember people are going to be dressed up and picking up messy foods is not a good look, may get sauce on their clothes etc… kids may touch you with their saucy fingers… so I’d say the less messy is better! Have fun guys, definitely an exciting time!!! Love y’all from Philly 🙏🏽☮️💟☀️😊🙏🏽

👍 yes!!!!I agreed to that idea,it makes sense!!!!!
Im listening to your plans and its reminding me of my daughter's backyard wedding. Dont forget about the bathroom situation. My daughter and her husband had a fabulous outdoor bathroom with 2 stalls and sinks. It was very nice in a mobile vehicle. You dont want your guests to be running in and out of your house like that.
When Kayla kept cutting off Marcus, all I could think about was the Tik Tok: LET 👏🏾ME 👏🏾TALK👏🏾!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lol Kayla could not help herself. She kept taking over your video but it’s okay Marcus we know it’s your channel 😂😭😭😂😭😭
Ya’lls subscribers are excited 😆!!! Can’t wait to see the weddinggggggg!!! And y’all have every right to be picky about the food and what you’re serving. This is a big day big moment. Make it yours. ❤️ it’s going to be one to remember
Marcus and Kayla…think food allergies when selecting shellfish, such as shrimp.
Menu suggestions -Instead of spaghetti do penne pasta -Meatballs as an appetizer either regular meatballs with like a gravy or like a sweet & sour meatball -Rice! Like yellow rice or a seafood rice -Ziti -Hush puppies -pasta salad -seafood salad -No collard green everyone cant do "greens" stick to string beans or broccoli -Pepper steak (🤔then you need white rice too 😆) -Fish ...they can fry fish but in strips not a full piece of whiting lol -Crab cakes are a plus that one in this video is big you don't want people having to get messy especially during an outdoor wedding
I have to agree with Marcus about the eyelash extensions. To me, they look so fake. 20 years from now you will look at your wedding pics and ask, “what was I thinking?”
Just hearing y'all describe the salmon and pasta sounds like a good choice. It sounds so classy. I like getting stuff I normally don't fix for myself when I go out. I feel you about the pineapples Kayla...I marinate mine in honey and red pepper and then grill them...so good and the red pepper hits the back of your throat....now I want some and it's too cold to be cooking outside.
No glasses Kayla 💖
Y’all so cute, I can’t wait for more planning of the wedding!
Great video Marcus. You and Kayla wedding ideals are on point!! The light food menu looked yummy. Have a Great weekend.
I know you guys have a lot to do!! Looking forward to seeing everything come together.Thanks for sharing!!
Yay! More videos!
So excited for you both❣🤗 Love how Marcus is so involved per usual. Y'all have every right to be picky about the choices you make on any aspect of yall wedding. It's yall special day and money your spending...
Love you guys. I love wedding planning, and you guys are doing amazing job of working together.
I'm looking forward to you guy's wedding I myself sitting on egg shells to the date congrats again my friends a back yard wedding is the bomb I like watching you guys try all the catered food
Definitely need to see more videos from you Marcus🙏
You guys are so cute. Love this video can't wait to see more wedding planning.
Yall are 2 cute Marcus and Kayla. So excited to see the wedding plans. I agree as being a guest to weddings light food is a good option. The salmon and pasta sounds good. Might make that fit dinner. Thanks yall.
You're definitely right about the Mac and cheese and soul food definitely knocks you out lol I love the hair color 😍
Hello you two, this was a cute video. I'm picky on some foods myself. Kayla, I know that you're going to make the best decisions for yourself on your wedding day because the pictures are how you will remember the day forever. You both look great without your glasses. I'm here for the wedding planning. Hi, Marcus!
hey Marcus and Kayla I hope you guys allow us to experience your wedding day when you get your video of the day back I hope you have a fantastic videographer and that he/she captures all the great sentimental moments of the day cause it goes so fast and there will be things that happen and the video may be the only way that you guys see it and know about it speaking from experience anyway enjoy the journey and document it thru video when possible you will be very glad you did LOVE
Congrats Guys on the up coming wedding, and you guys are so cute together esp. Kayla of course
I agree with Marcus about the lashes and Kayla about the home decor. You guys are good together 😍

Hi there!!! You all look good with and without your glasses. 🤓🙂 I enjoyed watching you all eat and rate the food (a tiny mukbang). 😋Enjoy all of the food tasting. 😋Your changes to the backyard sounds great and looking forward to seeing it all finalized. 🌳👯💃Take care and enjoy your weekend. 🌞🌅
Hey Marcus I'm a new subscriber on your Channel I was following Kayla congrats on your wedding I'm happy for the both of you hopefully I'll get a chance to catch up on some of your vlogs have a good day
Hey, Y'all - great video! If you all get fscials for the wedding, do so 2 weeks to.10 days in advance to prep. Sometimes the skin will purge a few days after & you want to allow for that. Apps -make sure that there is fruit salad or skewers for refreshers since the wedding will be in the summer. That could be a part of the appetizer course.
This is it ! Soulfood is probably a better option with multiple options.
🤣🤦🏾♀️ Marcus you ain't pray or nothing! Before that first bite lol 😆 I would of done the same😆 that food looks so good! Lol
Keep it light
Yayyyy so happy for both of you
Shrimp skewers look delicious, but have the tail cut off or at least the shell taken off the tails if you use them. Kayla…🤣…you are kind of picky.😂😂😂 I think dying your hair black is an EXCELLENT idea! I did not want to say anything before, but I’m glad you’re going back to your natural color. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! Don’t get any fake eyelashes or extensions. They look like caterpillars. You are really cute and look pretty when you are more natural.
So excited to see your wedding day xx
Marcus YES I agree with you regarding False Lashes and bathroom tub NO COPPER.
I agree with the food you choose. Soul food come in all different taste. Note on bath room:After a while you get tried of that tub if it’s not in a big open space bathroom in a different kind of space.
I look forward to all the wedding videos on both channels. You two are such a wonderful couple!! Kayla, I agree, no glasses, if possible, on your wedding day. Trust me, you will regret the glare (I did on my photos). However you are pretty with or without glasses. Here's to successful planning.
As a professional photographer I think it's better if Kayla wears her contacts just because the glares from the flashes and lighting and etc gets in your glasses and it can take a while to edit them in post going through each and every photo as well as the fact it can be irritating to you if you want to really enjoy yourself (just snap the picture and go quickly and enjoy yourself) and every photo the photographer is taking you would have to constantly reposition your head face and poses just to try to get as much of the glare out your glasses as possible to get a good edit in post (photoshop/lightroom) which also adds more to the editing process which then adds to the time it takes for you to get all your beautiful photos from your big day no glasses just makes everything go faster and quicker and makes it easier on the photographer as well another thing it can be problematic in off guard photos like when your dancing and celebrating with fam
Omg!!!! Marcus talked a lot. Lol. He seemed to be so quiet. He had me laughing trying out the wedding food. He is so cute when he even did some bouncing when he tasted something he enjoyed. Lol. Thank you for sharing. Y’all are such a beautiful couple. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The copper tub is beautiful but, style #2 was prettier

I can see that. So glad you’re on my team! ✊🏽
Great video guys.
Loved this video! The lighter menu sounds so good. Maybe switch out the spaghetti for penne rigati or fusili, easier and less fwippy, no sucking noises or spattered outfits. Can't wait to see more planning!
Sweetie don’t tell him what you are doing for your big day.. let him be in awe when you are coming down the isle. Y’all will be fly I know.
I can't wait. I'm so excited for u guys 🙂
I am so looking forward for the wedding day, love you guya together ❤
Those drinks sound AMAZING!
Definitely enjoyed this video 🥰
I agree with Marcus is kind of hard to nail soul food/mexican/Italian any type because there's so many ways it can be made people have their own take/flair. I feel like what you guys chose is a good balance. And for Kayla I would say natural look with lash extensions so you feel beautiful on your day but it's also a look like you can carry onto your honeymoon. I love marcus I hate Brown I only want my floors to be brown and accents

Yes Marcus is such a sweet, humbled patience young man 👨 🧍♂️.They both look cute with their glasses!!!The time is drawing closer day by day!!!!HALLELUJAH on this Glorious 🙌 day..BLESSINGS &VICTORY upon them both in Jesus's name,amen
It's was Marcus shaking his hair for me... Tooooo funny....
This was such fun video with you guys. I think Anything Barbecue is too messy for a wedding menu IMO. Love watching you guys. You're so cute.
Not the shaking of the locs Marcus 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watching now while cooking & prepping for Sunday's football play off games! Food looks yummy 😋😋😋
Okay Marcus, I don't know what made you use a Yugioh card for your example but I almost fell out of my chair, because Yugioh is my life and I don't think that you play the game but I am so excited to see a Yugioh card that I have never seen before and it totally fits your point of view on the food choices for your wedding. That Yugioh card alone has made me a subscriber and lifelong follower of your channel, so after I finish your video, ( IT'S TIME TO DUEL! ) I was defeated yesterday in a duel and you have given me the energy and hype to duel this opponent again and this time I will not loose. Now back to the video!
Yep the Lido menu would be better especially for a summer or spring wedding where is the soul food not so much. Also sweet potatoes with all those pralines on top I would like that either.
Yes contacts for wedding day and the light menu looks really good.... Just get the individual lashes not the fake strips
I think that you made a great decision on the lighter fare. And check out other options. But girlfriend! I NEED THOSE EARRINGS...Where can I buy them!?
Again congratulations on your engagement. I'm excited for you guy's. Can't wait to see you walk down the aisle I know you are going to be a beautiful bride. By the way I think you both need to wear contacts. Didn't know Marcus looks so handsome without his glasses.😂😂
I recommend Punkin’s Catering LLC. You won’t regret it!!
Can't wait till the wedding day
Marcus Lashes just enhance her Beauti so does make up its her day. she wants to look Gorgeous for you. its one-day support, support, support. :0 Love you both I cant wait I am so happy for you both.

Hello, I would like to recommend Punkin's Catering LLC, excellent catering service and the food is DELICIOUSSS!
“They seem smooshy..2” 😆
love ya'll!
I recommend Punkin's Catering LLC! It’s black and family owned! I’ve used them For numerous events and they are spectacular!
I think Kayla was full by the time y’all got to the Mac and cheese… she started nibbling 😂😂
Congratulations l think you are the perfect couple love watching your video, blessings to both of you 🙏🏾
Make sure y’all get some outdoor potties
You are both two adorable weddings is going to be epic ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Go Marcus ☺️
Talk and compromise, that's what marriage is all about!
I recommend Punkin's Catering LLC! Amazing food!
Okay speaking on experience I would do the salmon and pasta and do another dish with chicken and like mashed potatoes. Stir away from the BBQ theme! Give your guests two options and that would be the salmon and chicken! But hey that's my opinion at the end of the day it's still whatever you guys decide!!!!🌼🌷🌻
If things are light or heavy maybe you can request a less hardy version or a buffed up version. Idk what is decorum when it comes to food requests with caterers.
The salmon and pasta looked nice.
Love watching both of you god bless you both
Kayla its Marcus channel. You play nice. Stay Kayla sweet and kind and mindful. You guys are a cute couple. Blessings to you both.
Should have sampled Punkin's Catering. Their food is amazing!!!
First one. Love your videos
You guys do not seem crazy about most of the food. You should keep looking. You can order the couple of things that you like from there like the crab ball bites. If you are not crazy about it. Keep tasting other places. You definitely want your food to be on point because that can ruin a reception. NO GLASSES on wedding day!!
Whatever you choose: 2 diff apps 1 veggie/vegan entrée that's NOT just salad 2 diff meat entrées Small side salads with BOMB dressing/toppings Dessert/wedding cake 1 light prossecco-based specialty cocktail (named after yall or something you love)
Hey Marcus I think the video where you always doing a food tasting for the wedding but I'm curious what dish did you guys choose to go with for your wedding the salmon and noodles looked at really good
Y’all are cute with or without your glasses, but I understand the glare on the glasses when taken photos
🤣🤣🤣🤣 y'all are too funny 😁
OMG Marcus you are right I messaged her and told her her design was confusing the second ideal she had it right I don’t know where my girl was going with the first one
Marcus is gonna eat. Lol 😂 Soooo me 😂😂
thanks for sharing
I agree as a person that wears glasses, I think I look different too. But you guys are cute either way 🥰
You two are a beautiful couple.
No copper tub. 😄
Kayla, contacts! You won’t regret it because hugging people, dancing, etc… they’ll be in the way
Maybe you can have a small meal of soul food for your wedding party and close family
I feel like when you grow up eating home cooked, family made soul food...it's hard to find anyone who does it better than family does. Unless a food place specializes in soul food only, but even then. 🤷🏽♀️ If I was going to have soul food at my wedding, or for any event, I'd just call in some favors from my great aunties and cousins 😁👍 The lighter menu definitely seems like the better option!
Marcus have me 🤣🤣🤣
