practical

i can sit and dream of elaborate weddings
including cakes that are gorgeous

or i can be practical and try to think of ways to cut costs
and to save money
as the boy tries to buy a house
and as we think of creative solutions for a wedding of around 300.

(side note) i have always dreamed of a smaller, more intimate wedding.
but being the firstborn, being involved in church, parents being involved in church,
living in a place for 20 plus years, having a huge family, korean traditons, etc
equals a bigger wedding. sigh. (end side note)

a recent bride told me that at her wedding....
her mother in law insisted on a three tiered cake.
but her guests were less than 100 people
and they were way too full to even eat it.

so here are some cakes that are cute (sorta)and practical $$ wise.
and guess where they are from? our neighborhood bakery
