Half-Baked

Matt's latest and possibly best suggestion pertains to the cake. For those of you who are not in the wedding cake buying market, they're typically anywhere from $3 to $7 per slice. Exhorbitant right? The thing is, they're really works of art. I was looking at some of Susie's Cakes yesterday and I couldn't even believe some of them could be made out of cake! The makers are really artists and I fully applaud that.

The only thing about a cake sculpture is that, like an ice sculpture, it is of fleeting beauty. If I pay $800 for un objet d'art, I'd really like it to hang on my wall for a considerable number of years. How beautiful will it be in my stomach?

So Matt thinks we should have a cardboard "cake" that is a masterpiece for the eye to enjoy while the gastronomical treats come from simple sheet cakes that have been sliced in a hidden room. Guests will say "my that cake is as delicious as it looks!" Only savvy Wed Dog readers will know we've pulled the old switcheroo.

No? Not a fan? Come on, why not?!

Copy Cat Wed Dogs?

Someone is onto me! These are also wed dogs. However, please be advised that they're not THE wed dog.

Q & A with Wed Dog

Find out more about why you're reading this.

Q: Who is Wed Dog?

A: Wed Dog is the official mascot and guardian of our wedding, personified in Molly THE Dog. Look for her picture often. She is terribly cute.

Q: Will you be posting about how you found napkins to match your dress?

A: No. And not just because I do not yet have a dress. That is an entirely other Wed Dog post. Basically, Wed Dog is content that is too wedding-y to be posted on my daily blog and may actually be somewhat informative or of interest to those who have been directed here--by choice or force.

Posts will pertain to our total shock at the submersion in the Wedding industry underworld. It's dark. It's scary. It's expensive. I think their motto must be something like "Going through one of the biggest, most stressful and exciting changes of your life? We take mastercard for that!"

Also, follow the saga of obtaining a caterer and explaining to people that yes, you are getting married in October of this year and no, you're not out of your mind.

In short, plunge in with us as we plan a wedding, a life together, a move and build a better mousetrap.

Q: Will you post pictures of stuff?

Sure. Here's one now of Wed Dog. Aww.
