I just spoke to my godfather (my dad's best friend from college)...it's been YEARS since I've seen or spoken to him, but my dad called him for his address because we hadn't sent him an invitation yet. I spoke to him about life for a few then asked for the address...he asked for the wedding date and unfortunately his job is sending him to Spain that week so he can't make it. He was really bummed about it and apologized for being absent for so much of my life. I understand...he lives in Texas, I'm in Georgia and he has his own family, after all. Well, he said to make it up to me he would GIFT my wedding cake! Whoo-hoo! What a relief! He's putting the check in the mail tomorrow. God is always right on time and I am so appreciative of my God and my godfather! This is the vendor that FI and I were discussing just this evening!
