Wedding cake blues

[Andara Bledin]

Never mind on marriage, after I finish uni and get settled in a job I'm ordering cake, damn cakewrecks and their sunday sweets section.

Nekojin & I want our cake by one of the people that gets featured on Sunday Sweets a lot.

My cake cost more than my dress (cake: $500, dress: $400) and was worth every penny.

My cake cost more than my dress, too, but my cake was only $80, and it was absolutely delicious. The dress was $60 from a vintage clothing shop. I bought it about a week before the wedding.

Yeah some of those are beautiful, the steam punk wedding one was awesome. That's a good bakery.

Hell the cake is the only reason I may get married one day.

Problem is, after the cake is gone, you're still married.

It was one week from the wedding, they ended up having beautiful cupcakes on a really nice looking cupcake stand that did not look tacky.

My oldest friend, who I've known since we were both 5 years old, got married a couple years ago and had to do something like that. Not for the entire cake, just for the top. It fell over in the car on the way over, which messed up the top a bit. My friend ended up putting cupcakes on top of it to hide where it got bumped.

Whoah...cynical, much?

No, just realistic.

We just didn't think year old frozen cake would taste very good, so we just bought a different cake for the anniversary.

Ours didn't. It tasted a bit freezer-burned when we tried to eat it.

So much for celebratory nookie.

Since when do married people have sex?

Ah, Lazarus Long. The ultimate realist. I believe Heinlein was one of the most influential people in my childhood... shaped a great many of my views on sex.

Because of him I believe that whatever happens between two (or more) consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes is none of my business. Unless I'm coming over for dinner, in which case I want to know they scrubbed all the kitchen utensils.

Slightly scared now...

Back on topic, I think my mom may have given that much warning for my cake. She decided that our reception ought to have a cake. My husband and I weren't aware that she considered this necessary (there was both dessert and sweet table being provided by the caterer). There had been a discussion (that I think she had been in on) that if the cake we wanted couldn't happen, then it wouldn't matter. So my husband and I pushed until what we considered the last possible minute to get the cake we wanted.

When we acknowledged that the chocolate shop wouldn't be able to do it (we're still not sure if it survived having its lease canceled, which happened right before our wedding), my mom then called around for after-the-eleventh-hour cakes. She found one that managed to not only accommodate all the food allergies, but was decorated with our china pattern. And I'm not sure that she wouldn't have freaked out over it not being possible to do a cake. She, for some strange reason, was under a lot of stress. (My family has a bit of a tradition that the person who doesn't want something to happen is never the person in charge of it. Not that we wouldn't do it, just that it's cruel. So all the so-called traditional wedding stuff was her problem, not mine, because she didn't think it appropriate to make me do more than suffer through it.)
