Hi All,
I repeat a similar post every year on or about this date. You see, it’s my 5th wedding anniversary and this is one of my favourite stories. It’s an essay I wrote for a magazine, but never really tried to sell….
If you’ve ever thought about making your own wedding cake, here is a story for you.
The picture above is of my mother and father-in-law’s wedding cake topper. It’s made of FROSTING and is from 1946. We found it on my mother-in-law’s bedside table after she passed away and used it on our cake. Sadly, it did not survive the move to Canada, but we have our memories.
And speaking of memories, I bought my darlin’ a Gingko tree (5th anniversary is “wood”) for a pressie and he said, “It’s lovely! Let’s try not to kill it.”
Happy anniversary, my darlin’. I have no idea what I did to get so lucky, but I’m glad I did it. I love you!
Happy Anniversary! Your wedding was so fantastic that to this day I swear it was the most fun I have ever had at a wedding. A lot of people I know have been getting married recently, and everyone is so sick of hearing how your wedding was so simply wonderful and that everyone else has the wrong idea.
Cheers!!
Happy Anniversary! We celebrated our 5th this year, too. I didn’t know it was a wood year! That’s a lovely cake topper, and what a special thing to have it on your cake, too. My little sister made our cake topper. She’s a wonderful artist and sculpted it out of clay. My mom and dad made our cake. It was completely gorgeous!
