To this day I think he feels guilty that he ‘denied’ me cake when I actually adored his idea of individual fruit tarts and our guests loved them, too. I asked what he thought of a cake I was considering, he said he really didn’t like cake that much. I asked him what he liked, he said fruit tarts and I felt as though the sky had opened up and angels had begun to sing…and I told him so. He kept saying miserably that I could have my cake, it was okay, really. He never got that I WANTED the fruit tarts more.

Of course I’ll be baking a cake later this month for my birthday. Anyone who happens through my door that day gets a slice. Yum.

The wedding bingo card is a work of genius that would have come in tremendously handy at a couple of the scalier nuptual celebrations I’ve attended.

Still, it would be nice once in a while to see an advice page for the groom that suggests something other than ‘you don’t know how to dress yourself or what anything means, so just shut up and do as your fiancee says.’ I really hope that one or two of these sites expand to suggest a man might actually take a serious interest in his own wedding.
