    Don't laugh at the shark cake toppers. We're seriously considering using them at our wedding. FI about had a fangirl moment when he saw them.

    I'm not laughing. I seriously want them myself...I'll make them into salt and pepper shakers or something. BF will put his foot down though.

    You should have seen him make fun of me when we went to the Atlanta aquarium. Hello, whale sharks!

    No, I really really like the shark toppers. I think they're cute.

    I found them on etsy:

    They're actually finger puppets, which make them even more awesome. If we use them for cake toppers, we'll probably just slip them over wood dowels or salt and pepper shakers or something similar and put them on top the cake. Then again, this is the cake we're praying for:

    With respect to the sand-walking, didn't ekathleen clarify that the beach was like, grass until about 5 feet from the water? As your BM, I'm worried that your dress will get wet. And smell like dead fish.

    Look Narwhal, I found a wedding cake totally appropriate for a Lake Erie/Michigan wedding:

    Oceana, as catering director-slash-BM, I must agree with the cake suggestion. But it has to be made of Little Debbie Snack Cakes stacked together. We must keep this wedding classy, ladies!!

    Narwhal - duct tape and Febreeze can fix anything.

    We can put fondant icing over Twinkies, right?

    Totally. And it will be delicious.

    Except that Twinkies are made by Hostess and Narwhal specifically requested Little Debbie.

    But Twinkies would be waaaaaaaaaaaay more klassy, don't you think? We could even deep fry them beforehand.

    Hopefully the ice cream truck will have a deep fryer, too.

    Speaking of which, Narwhal, do we want an ice cream truck with a normal driver, or a supremely sketchy one?
  • edited December 2011
    Supremely sketchy, with a really loud jingle, just so I can recreate this stand-up routine during the reception:

    Oceana-

    While I understand what you mean about unofficially engaged, I got to thinking about your comparisons. They don't exactly work. You can't be unofficially pregnant or unofficially dead because they are physical things. You could compare it to unofficially married but even that doesn't work since marriage is a legal thing and engagement is not. It is a similar thing though since people same sex couples sometimes think of themselves as married when they are not legally so. Yes I understand some of these couple are legally married. I am trying to come up with a better comparison. Maybe it's similar to an unofficial relative, such as a friend as close as a sister or parent's friend that is like an uncle or aunt. You may think of them of your relative but they are not legal or even blood a relative.

    We have not made an official announcement of our engagement but we have in our hearts. To us then we are unofficially engaged, maybe this it the wrong way to look at things, I don't really know but it's how we do. To us we are officially engaged when we let the cat out of the bag and for a little bit longer we holding the bag closed and we will until he pops the question so he can do it the way he wants. I talk to you girls about what we are planning, feeling,  etc because I am trying not to tell the world how crazy I/we am/are, though they already know.

    Booking an ice cream truck is WAY too expensive.  I'm just going to hope one stops by.  I updated my bio just for you girls, by the way.

    I don't have any unofficial relatives, but I'm sure some will end up showing up to the reception.

    Gibler, I get what you're saying, but I still don't buy it. We waited a few days before announcing our engagement because we would actually be in my hometown for the holidays and wanted to tell everyone in person. We still considered ourselves engaged, even though we hadn't announced it.

    I have someone I consider my aunt but she's not, she is my godmother and was my mom's best friend in high school. She is close contact always. Growing up I had "uncles", they were my dad's college buddies and I called them Uncle Walt, etc.

    Gibler, I think we threadjacked this topic a long time ago...let it go.

    BF has second cousins that he calls his aunts because they grew up like sisters with his mom.  But they're still relatives.  I guess I can see where you're coming from.

    I'm asking you to buy. I'm just explaining our train of thought. We are all allowed to have our own view on things. They may be the wrong views but who gets to say who is right and wrong?

    I understand you threadjacked it. I have just been toying with the idea in my head and trying to come up with the best way to explain it. Thought I would put it out there. I'm not offended it's more trying to interject my prospective.
  • edited December 2011
    Gibler, you're gonna feel the way you do. I'm going to feel the way I do. It's not going to necessarily mesh. I get that you want to explain why you feel the way you do, but I think you did that sufficiently enough about 3 pages back. At this stage in the game, it's coming off as less of an explanation and more of a "if I throw more analogies and justifications her way, she's bound to see it the way I do". That's about as effective as my FI trying to convince me that Sarah Palin is not, in fact, the demon seed of Alaska.

    Besides, isn't it obvious that this thread is all about Narwhal and her pretty pretty princess day by Lake Erie?!? Gawd, quit stealing the spotlight from the BRIDE! ::stomps feet::

    Nah, I'm just trying to up my "quotes in other people's siggies" quota. That, and bring the spotlight back to the BRIDE. Gawd. ::flips weave::
