Passport To Love: Toasts

Once we cut into the cake it was time to pass out the champagne for MOH Navy and Groomsman Runner to make their toasts.


MOH Navy made a joke about how I made her wait 755 days to give her speech.




Her speech was extremely sweet and talked about some of the same wonderful memories I shared during my MOH speech at her wedding.  I loved reliving some of our times together from high school, in college, during our study abroad in Mexico and life since college.




BM Cali listened in with the rest of the crowd about some of our college memories.




Up next was Groomsmen Runner who is an amazing public speaker by trade. (Mr. E's brother is very nervous speaking to crowds so he asked not to give a toast)


He had us busting out as he recounted how he met me back in college and knew that any guy I introduced into our circle of friends had to be the real deal.






We cherish our friends and were really touched by their sweet words for a lifetime of happiness.


Up next - Our father daughter dance with a Caribbean twist.

Will you be having toasts at your wedding?  Are you excited to hear what memories your friends will share?

Passport To Love: Cake Times Two

As is pretty traditional in southern weddings, we had two cakes at our reception.  The traditional wedding cake and a chocolate groom's cake.


The travel cake consisted of 3 tiers - white chocolate with raspberry filling, white chocolate with apricot filling and strawberry cake with strawberry filling. It was topped off with our little luggage bags.




Our cake stands were set up a little different then what I pictured, but I loved how they added to the look of the cakes! I was amazed at how on point our baker was with our inspiration for the travel cake and for Mr. E's German chocolate with Dulce de leche filling gamer's cake.




The groom's cake was topped with rice krispie shaped controllers so our personalized cake topper looked on from the side.


Our toasting flutes and serving set were in place and ready for us.






Thanks to Lynn's direction we were ready to dive in.

Take a close look at this next picture.


Did you notice it?  That is Mr. E's piece of cake to feed me falling to the floor.  We all had a good laugh and he went for try #2, this time with a hand out to catch any run away cake




After sampling the first cake, it was time to snatch up a couple of double dipped strawberries that surrounded the groom's cake.




True to his gamer nature, Mr. E decided that our cake cutting experience wouldn't be complete without a bite from the Wii remote before aiming it at the crowd.  Our guests loved this!




I couldn't pass up a bite as well.



We finished up with a toast and a kiss.




Next up, some touching words from our friends.

Are there any brides out there that got to enjoy more cake than the piece you ate during the cake cutting?
