Which menu do I choose?

This week I had a look into recipes for my 5 course gourmet meal. First I had to find out what a 5 course meal entailed exactly.

I found this out:
Course 1: Soup
Course 2: Entre'
Course 3: Main
Course 4: Pudding
Course 5: Cheeses

Which gave me a decision to make. We don't really like soup and I wasn't really fussed on the cheeses as it was putting together produce rather than doing anything technical with food. I was either chucking out the 5 course idea in lieu of a 3 course meal, or changing up the courses somewhat. I decided on the latter.

I've come up with 2 menu ideas. Mostly because I really want to do the beef wellington, but my husband (who I'll be cooking for) doesn't do mushrooms (idiot).

So, I'm asking, which should I do? Which do you like. Do you like them as a whole or should I swap one out for something else?

Option One:
1. Caprese Tartlets http://www.kitchme.com/recipes/caprese-tartlets
2. Steak Rolls http://picturetherecipe.com/index.php/recipes/balsamic-glazed-steak-rolls/
3. Herb crusted pork loin http://littleleopardbook.com/2011/11/09/whats-for-dinner-rosemary-balsamic-pork-tenderloin/
4. Lemon Possets http://whatjessicabakednext.com/2015/04/20/lemon-possets-with-berries-shortbread/
5. Baked Brie http://www.willcookforfriends.com/2014/01/baked-brie-with-rosemary-honey-candied-walnuts.html
 

Option Two:
1. Pepperoni Caprese Bites http://authenticsuburbangourmet.blogspot.co.nz/2014/01/pepperoni-caprese-bites-with-basil.html
2. Chicken artichoke bites http://www.homemadeinterest.com/chicken-artichoke-bites/
3. Beef Wellington http://www.kitchme.com/recipes/individual-beef-wellingtons
4.Brownie Caramel Cheesecake http://www.kitchme.com/recipes/brownie-caramel-cheesecake
5. Baked Brie http://www.willcookforfriends.com/2014/01/baked-brie-with-rosemary-honey-candied-walnuts.html

I like option 1 too, I think option 2 is awesome as well - especially the Beef Wellington which is one of my favourite things in the world. And I love the sound of the chicken artichoke bites - I just thought option 2 as a whole was a bit too cheesy for me.
