I was watching a greatest cakes show and one was for a wedding. He pretty much ignored the bride’s wishes to follow her mothers, then was surprised when the bride didn’t like the cake. They worked it out later.
So I was wondering, when you got married was your wedding cake the one you wanted or the one your mother wanted? If your mother did it bother you then, now?
I’ll answer first:
My mother picked out the cake, since I had no decorating sense. I wanted blue flowers, which would have ended civilization as we knew it. It infuriated me then. A couple of decades later it only bothers me when something reminds me of it now. I was willing to have my own wedding, priest, reception, everything, but she went ballistic to have the show. I gave into Dad's request for peace in our time.
We are a rather dramatic family.
