How I wore my Mantilla veil on my wedding day.

Our cake couldn’t have turned out any better.  We had a bakery in Southaven, MS named Brown Baguette make the cake.  I brought in a photo to the baker for inspiration and she took over from there.  Derek and I both think that our cake turned out better than the cake we mocked it off of.  Take a look….

So as a little surprise for our wedding guests Derek and I thought it would be awesome to have a kilted bagpiper playing as guest arrive to the ceremony & lead Derek and I into the reception hall for the 1st time.  Steve, the bagpiper, was wonderful.

All of our guests loved him, and quite a few wouldn’t stop chatting the man up.  That’s okay though!  Steve was extremely polite and friendly.  If anyone for whatever reason needs or wants a little something different for an event or party I highly suggest Gallowglass Pipers.

Derek and I need your help.  Tell us which picture of Derek and I you like the most.

Which one shows our personality, or just the best picture overall?  Just leave a comment on this post and describe the picture you like the best.  Heck, if you want to have your friends and family vote as well!

Don’t forget to grab a tube of bubbles for our exit!

This is the cake that I modeled mine after.  Mine has some slight variations though.  I will not spoil the surprise and tell you about them.  I will tell you that my wedding cake will be 4 layers with the top and bottom layers being Red Velvet (my absolute fave!!!!), and the two middle layers being white & chocolate (one flavor per layer).  I figured that not everyone likes red velvet cake so I decided to to Bridezilla out on this one and give the people what they want…..chocolate & white layers.

I know, I know…..I am too kind.  You can thank me at the wedding when “my” teeth are stained a lovely shade of red from the cake.
