OBSESSION.

[tinag]

On December 23, I came home from vacation in St. Augustine w/family.  It wasn't 'til talking with family that I decided that I was going to get married in May.

From then to today, 20 days later, I have:
-booked the location (Lakeside Park Pavilion #2)
-chosen the date (5/30)
-secured time off for the weekend
-chosen colors-- light purple and silver/gray

Wow, you've gotten a lot done! Yay for purple!

$2.85/slice actually aint bad. I've seen it as low as $2/slice in Columbus so you can probably do better. Surprisingly, I've heard Kroger and Sam's Club can do affordable and decent looking wedding cakes.

The first cake maker we met with wanted $10/slice for kosher :) We just went sith our caterer for much less, and she males better cake anyway. Maybe not as artsy-fartsy, but whatever.

sith = with
males = makes

I am on my phone :)

it's all ok, I didn't even notice!
Per Tom's suggestion, we're gonna ask Tom's uncle if he wants to do a trial-run wedding cake attempt (he's made some really creative cakes for birthdays before), and if that one works out, that'll be what we do.

If not, Walmart supposedly makes 3-tier wedding cake. I didn't know Kroger did, too-- cool.

good for you being all productive and such!

Are you getting married in Indiana or FL ? For ours we just did some special cakes from Publix- not even wedding style. This one: http://www.publix.com/food/catalog/ProductDetail.do?id=170 but back then it didn't have the strawberries or nuts.

Anyway, just a thought- maybe there is a grocery store with a nice bakery like publix that could do something neat. Unless you absolutely want a traditional cake, don't ever say "wedding cake" it skyrockets prices tremendously.

Yeah, I'm actually looking into Walmart and maybe Kroger for a wedding cake. Walmart has a flat rate for a 3-tier cake-- $139 according to the website, which would be considerably cheaper than what I've checked so far. We'll see.

But nope, it'll be in Florida. The vast majority of guests will be from here.

Congrats! I think you happen to be far away from "obsessed" when it comes to weddings. You just happen to be looking for great deals and are going through all the details. So no worries! Good luck!
