I had a great weekend. My parents came to celebrate my birthday, which was nice. We ended up spending a couple hours at David’s Bridal so that my mom could try on dresses for the wedding. I think we figured out what kind of dress looks the best on her, so now we’re trying to figure out which one she should get. She found a bunch at David’s that she liked, but she really wants to find one in our hometown so she can support local businesses.
Taryn and I have our cake testing tomorrow. We’re kind of excited about the bakery we found. They specialize in making cakes with buttercream icing that is so smooth it looks like fondant. We’ll also see if they can make a cake like the one we decided we like the best. It’s unique!
Here’s a good cake topper if you’re having a beach wedding. I think it looks really nice, but it wouldn’t really work for my wedding. Did any of you have a beach wedding? One of my friends got married on a cruise, and I think my aunt did, too.
Last night, I went uptown with some friends. Every Thursday during the summer, there is a different band that has a concert from 7:30-10:00. Last night it was a band that was similar to the one that will be playing at our wedding. They played a song that I liked called “That’s All.” Michael Buble sings a version of it, but his version is much slower. I’m not sure which version I prefer, but I’m leaning toward the Buble version. He has such a nice voice.
I was watching TV today and I saw an episode of Life With Jim that I thought was really funny. One of their kids was complaining that she didn’t like corn, so Jim tried demonstrating that eating corn can be fun. He started eating it and pretending he was a type-writer. Their kids did not understand. Then, the girl complained about not liking corn again and the mom said she sounded like a broken record. The girl asked what that was!
It got me thinking, what kind of things did people used to do at weddings that young people don’t know about anymore? Anyone know of anything?
I just found this cake topper over at Archie McPhee. It cracks me up because it’s the opposite of what you’d typically think of. Let me know what you think!
Remember that I wanted to do the Thriller dance at my wedding? This is the video that started it all. Did any interesting dances happen at your wedding or others you attended?
This groom in this dance makes me think of a guy I went to church with. It starts off with a song that’s special to Taryn and me and then it gets hysterical! It really gets good around 1:30. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think!
