I (the bride) picked the cake, and planned about 95% of the details myself. Why? Because my husband-to-be lived in another state. I would have really liked my husband to have been more involved, but that’s a little tricky from 1700 miles away!

So he’s planning the 1st anniversary vacation, ha ha!

HA! So much for that theory. He picked the cake. It was ugly, and outdated and hideous to look at(dang yummy though) but he picked it and I stayed out of it. Actually he picked everything. The colors, the menu, the cake, the outfits. He was Groom-zilla on crack. HIS wedding. Definatley not the one I had envisioned but I figured it didn’t matter because the wedding was just one day. Should have seen that red flag a mile away in retrospect.

Dad’s~ do you not like carrot cake? Yummmmm! It would have been thoughtful to ask your preference, though.

Our cake was gifted to us. We had an elegant island wedding with twenty or so guests, including a couple of crashers. The cake was small, pretty and delicious, just like the wedding. We cut the cake with a military sword. Not having grown up in the military, that seemed bizarre to me. So, I had a last minute urge to go all Gallagher-like with that big ‘ole sword on the small, defenseless cake, but some of our guests wouldn’t have caught on or appreciated my dark humor, so I resisted. In hindsight, being “the vision of lovely” that I wanted to be that day, resisting was probably a good move on my part. The cake was delicious and had such precisely cut slices.

Having previously been a bit of a runaway bride, my main goal was to show up wearing heels (versus running shoes) and commit. I ended up being a pretty calm, confident bride. The groom was a bit nervous and tense, since I did arrive at the altar slightly late and he was aware of my history. I explained later that I was simply on “island time.” My usual.

Do guys really care about the cake? Isn’t that the purpose of having us look at all those China patterns to lull us to sleep while all the other arrangements are made?

I better start paying better attention!

Of course the idea of gauging anything by “just the cake” is a silly idea, which is what I thought DM was saying that the wedding planner is presenting as a tangible measure. The idea that DM further reached for that often the bride is a freak about the details and wants to make sure everything goes right is closer to a good judge of what the marriage will be like, but even then it could just be a case of our culture impressing on the bride that it’s her job to take care of the details.

But the reality of having to plan this big event together before heading into a “life together,” certainly can tell people something about one another. By this point, it is probably too late to do anything about it, but still. It is a stressful time and I fully believe that stressful events (even good stress) are the real measures of what a person is like and what two people will be like together.
