All kidding aside, I've dived right in with helping to plan our big day. While many of our decisions ultimately default to what she wants (because, honestly, it's not that I don't care about our table settings...it's just that I don't care about our table settings), I want to do my part. Because if I'm not there to advocate for a guy in a Chewbacca outfit performing the ceremony, no one will.
We have divided out what we need to take care of for the wedding, and we're trying check things off at a nice, leisurely pace. Today, we got to cross off picking a cake.
Elizabeth and I found a baker that bakes out of her home in Kernersville. I set up the meeting, and we went to her house today for lunch. Her name is Natalia, and she is a very sweet and funny lady that started baking cakes for a living two years ago. She let us pick out several different flavors, and she made cupcakes for us to test out. We brought them home and after dinner, we had a cupcake feast.
Merlin really wanted to help us test the cupcakes
The almond, chocolate, strawberry, and lemon-blueberry were good, but nothing to write home about (but apparently they did warrant a mention here in this blog). Our favorites were red velvet, coconut-pinapple, and carrot, so it looks like we are going to go with those. Find a cake...check!
This is my first wedding, and I plan on it being the only one as well. So this whole experience will be a bunch of firsts, which means that many little adventures are around the corner. What's great is that I found someone that wants to be there with me for all of them. Life is an adventure, every minute of it, and it's best when you have someone to share the adventure with.
It's even better with cupcakes.
