I have been
married for about 10 full days now and things could not be going more my way,
life with Wifey is bliss. With the stress and craziness of the wedding being
over it finally feels like our lives are returning to some state of normality.
There is still so much however about the crazy milestone event that passed that
I would like to talk about.
Right now I
am not planning to be talking about it forever but there are still so many
elements that I would like to share on my blog. Which speaking of my blog I am
happy to announce finally has reached a milestone of Its own in gaining over
2000 page views Wahooo go me. This Blog is the medium in which I am using to
express myself, to share my thoughts and to share the events of my life.
Well back to
talking about the wedding, today I would like to share one of the coolest
aspects of my geeky steampunk wedding. With a theme wedding that is so unique
one of the benefits is that it allows for people to be very creative and thusly
some very cool things come to be.
When I was
enrolled in post secondary I was attending a trade school, where I made friends
with the Baking and Pastry Arts students. This friendship was due to a very
close friend of mine who was actually in the Baking class introducing me to
them all. This friend, Felixx we will call her, stepped up to the plate when me
and my Wifey were in talks about wedding plans. We asked Felixx if she would
ever so graciously make one of the most important parts of any wedding, the
Cake.
Upon seeing
the cake my Wifey and I knew we had put our faith in not only the right person
but someone who is very talented. She designed this masterpiece from top to
bottom and it turned out way better than anything my wild imagination could
come up with. One of the main reasons I knew that Felixx could pull this off
and keep to the theme is because in all honesty she is the one that introduced
my Wifey and I to the concept of steampunk.
Still on the
topic of this wonderful cake creation, in the photos above do you see those
little people standing atop the cake. Those beautiful cake toppers are hand
sculpted figures of my Wifey and me in our costumes from our trip to this year’s
comic expo. These were done by another friend of mine, Jace, a fantastic artist
who also helped in the making of the cake.

And here are
the toppers:
One more
thing about the whole cake experience and I am done I swear. I called on one of
my fantastic groomsmen for a favor. I asked if I could borrow a sword from his
collection to cut the cake with. Like a true friend he came through and allowed
me to use his cutlass to chop into this delightful baked good.
In the end
it is times like these that I realize how great my friends are and how they
will always come through when I need them. Felixx put in so much work into the
cake and it looks fantastic, even the tiny details like the clock being set to
2:22 my lucky number. Jace put so many fine little features and the toppers
turned out amazingly. I am so appreciative of everything that they did for my
special day I don’t think I can ever thank them enough.
Sincerely
Urban Yeti
