Had no idea that was even a tradition until this thread, and it just sounds like a disaster in the making. Imagine the freezer burn.
Yeeeeeeah, I think I decided maybe we will get a cake from the same bakery we got our wedding cake as a backup in case the cake turns out to be utterly disgusting. Let you all know how it goes in April.
That seems like a much better idea. Plus, you could make it an anniversary tradition if you really wanted to.
If there's no frosting, I'm sure it can be used as a blunt weapon in case of a home invasion by the time the year has passed
Silver lining, at least it's an interesting story to tell?Are we still talking about our wedding experiences?
Got married a few weeks ago. Court house wedding, parents only so we didn't have to deal with badly behaved nephews or BPD SIL.
As we got there this crackhead couple walked out arguing with a few other crackheads. We get married and it's all done and over in like 15 minutes, walk out and theres ambos and police cars cause one of the crackheads apparently stabbed one of the other ones. We had to give witness statements to an attempted murder around 20 minutes after getting married.
Been keeping an eye on the local paper to see if the dude died, so I could keep it as a morbid wedding story but alas he seems to have lived
Yes! Definitely something worth telling to your kids/grandkids/nieces/nephews/etc.
Bad news, there is frosting, it is Italian buttercream so unfortunately that won't work.
That's friggin adorable. I love that idea. Little bitty anniversary cakes.

yeah, will definitely do.
To paraphrase the insane ladies of "Female Dating Strategy":
My wife and I never did that. We were told to do as much but decided that the idea of eating year old frozen cake wasn't the best way to celebrate. We went back to the same bakery that we got out cake made and got a smaller version of our original cake.
Sucks, but you'll never forget your crackhead wedding.Are we still talking about our wedding experiences?

I’ve only heard of practice engagement rings in the context of trying out a ring you think you might want. This is just sad.
How the hell is it a bargaining chip? Seems like the last thing you wanna bring up in an argument is the fact you haven't proposed to your girlfriend.
(Late.) I hate the monogram concept most of the time. If you're getting some small custom metalwork with a family crest and the family surname on it, cool. Otherwise, I generally find the practice to be wasteful as all getout. When thrift shopping, I can't tell you how many times I've seen singles or entire sets of things like glasses, candle holders or some other pretty-yet-useful things I really wanted, but couldn't use because I looked closer and OH BOY, they all have someone's initials, names or even a whole ass message about the couple getting married. So those fuckers got a tax write-off for dumping it onto a charity shop that's just going to have to throw it away for them anyway. Classy.
I think it's ugly too, but more importantly, think about those little spiky bits that stick out catching onto every fabric your left hand touches. Seconding on the price being batshit.
I think it needs to be planned for when deciding how your cake is being made. It will need a layer of fondant encasing the entire tier and it will need to be done expertly, which it better be at wedding cake prices. Double or triple vacuum seal the cake, deep freeze the tier at the bottom of a chest freezer cranked all the way to its coldest (which it should always be anyway) and peeling off the fondant probably won't even be necessary. Peel off the fondant if you don't vacuum seal, though.
The expressions the guests are making just about says it all. Sorry guys, Miku's taken!
It's almost like that women wouldn't have sex before marriage for a reason
When I first saw that I immediately thought of that guy who married his dating sim waifu on the DS.
Your getting it all wrong. The bargaining chip is getting engaged, for instance, she gets annoyed at his lack of commitment and refuses to move in together or something else like that. Then he could pull that one out, "Alright then, here's an engagement ring. Let's move in together."
