My Wedding Cake

I was fooling about not blogging any more but being too busy was the truth. A week has flown by since my last post. Holly turned 10 and my parents arrived yesterday for a visit. Things won't slow down anytime soon but I am still here.

Kim from The Continuing Adventures of SlugMom requested a picture of my wedding cake so here it is. I couldn't find a cake topper that I like so I settled for the Precious Moments. But what I hated was the tacky blue flowers all over it. The cake decorator told me that she could put some silk flowers around the base and showed me some pictures of other cakes that she had done. They were pretty. Pastel pink and white. She said that she did the blue to match my bridesmaids dresses. Blue is my favorite color, especially navy, royal and sapphire. But it doesn't belong on a wedding cake. I didn't see it until after the wedding, the pictures and the reception line. I was horrified. But what could I do at that point? John liked it. He said it tasted great. I said I didn't care about the taste. It should have been pretty.

Today is our 21st wedding anniversary so I thought I would add a twist to the tag and share 7 random things about our wedding/marriage.

1. I hated Chinese food when we met. John asked me several times if I liked it and even though I continually told him no, he brought me some to work. I liked it!
2. We ate at a Chinese restaurant tonight.
3. We wanted 4 children and we were going to name them Mark, Mitchell, Mandy and Megan. Using all M's was coincidental and now inconsequential because we didn't choose any of those names.
4. I hated my wedding cake. It was ugly and not what I told the cake decorator to make.
5. We went to Williamsburg on our honeymoon.
   
6. For nearly 1/3 of our married life, John was in law enforcement.
7. We spent 1/3 of our married life in the country of Romania.
