THE MOST IMPORTANT CAKE OF YOUR LIFE!

I love my Christopher and am very excited to be marrying him. When delving into many wedding details I get downright giddy and want to hug everyone. I nearly hugged the hag-ish woman at the bridal store when I finished ordering my dress.

This is one kind of wedding crazies.

But then there is the "other" kind of wedding crazies. This is the kind that arises when you can't-for-the-life-of-you-find-a-friggin'-place-to-have-the-friggin'-ceremony. Or you find a place, but is is too expensive. Or it isn't available. Or your mother's second cousin twice removed doesn't like it. Or you decide on a bridesmaid dress that ends up not being available in one of the bridesmaid's sizes, but one of the other ones already ordered it and none of you have the time to look into it because everyone has better things to do (like the work that results in paychecks) than spend hours agonizing over a stupid dress! I don't even understand the point of bridesmaids and wasn't going to deal with having any anyway!!

Our mantra, however, continues to be "simple, easy, fun" and when things get irritating or nutty or spin out of control it is very helpful to repeat, preferably to everyone around. It is amazing how easy it is for things to get ultra insane though. As soon as you mention a wedding the price and the process triple.

Have you ever planned a cake months in advance? Gone to tastings? Consulted "designs"? Dropped hundreds of dollars? After all, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CAKE OF YOUR LIFE!

One of my favorite cakes ever is from a supermarket and costs something around $20. And actually.... I don't really care that much about cake anyway. As long as it is chocolate!

Oh, and we FINALLY found a venue. I actually cried the other night because I'd gotten so frustrated at the entire process and just didn't know what to do anymore. Simple, outside, in a meadow in a forest. We like it and if anyone finds anything "wrong" with it, they can go get themselves married somewhere else! You can read all about it at our wedding blog :)
