I find myself saying alot of the same words over and over again during all this wedding planning. Words and phrases such as "photographer", "save-the-dates", and "bridal party" have fully integrated themselves into my vocabulary and I seldom go a day without saying something related to the wedding. But, despite all of those, I think the phrase that *takes the cake* (hehehe, pun intended!) is..."the one."
I have found another "one" and, frankly, it's just super.
As soon as I saw it on Pintrest (my latest time-consuming addiction) I knew that this was our cake topper. It was sweet, innocent, so full of love and with the quaint, comfy feel that Graym and I are looking for for our wedding. And, I absolute LOVE Willow Tree! If you haven't seen Susan Lordi's collection before, you absolute must. I already have a few of her pieces at home and thoroughly plan on collecting all of them. Ahhhh, so lovely.
So, when I walked into the Christian bookstore on Wednesday for a completely unrelated reason (which, of course, I didn't end up buying!) and the beautiful cake topper was right there just looking at me and drawing me closer like a kid in a pet store who laid their eyes on a puppy, I just had to have it. Yup, that cake topper was my puppy and I was an ecstatic 5 year old. Thankfully I didn't have a totally lame mom tugging me by my arm and saying dad would flip out if I brought it home, so after a little more shopping I bought our CAKE TOPPER.
I find it completely necessary to capitalize the fact that I bought a CAKE TOPPER simply because we don't even have a cake lady booked, let along our cake design! I'm starting to feel slightly ridiculous that I even bought the cake topper yet. I think I may have let my childlike excitement get the best of me, especially since this isn't a very difficult cake topper to find in stores and I could have easily purchased it farther down the road. Is it normal to buy the cake topper before the cake? I don't know, and I'm not exactly what I would call "normal", so I think I'm just going to enjoy our pretty little cake topper. There is even a very good possibility that I'll place it on my dresser just so I can look at it every day : )
I'm not gonna post a picture of it simply because a part of me wants the cake to be part of the whole "oohh-aahhh" effect of our wedding, but if you just have to see it like I had to buy it, than feel free to make like a ninja and sneak a peek (but, like any good ninja, you'll have to figure out on your own how to do just that! Thankfully for you, I didn't make that too difficult to do...)
Many many blessings,
Sash
Girl, lemme see that topper.
