If you understand that, it makes it less about the cake and more about the symbolism.Have You Ever Noticedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250736686983110842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-43961514539786714262019-05-08T17:00:58.472-04:002019-05-08T17:00:58.472-04:00Anonymous, yes, we have hired a videographer!

We live in the south and had a destination wedding, but my in-laws threw a beautiful reception with hundreds and hundreds of cookies :) My southern parents still talk about that cookie table.

People can certainly judge and take things the wrong way and I totally get that- you’re totally entitled to your own opinion! <br /><br />Just for future reference for anyone wondering, my fiancé sees anything that is posted in his regard before it goes live! He had no issue with this post :) <br /><br />I appreciate your kind words about my blog and graciousness, sorry if I came off as disrespectful to you, I can promise you that my fiancé doesn’t not see it that way, take it that way and I would certainly never disrespect anyone and certainly not him!!

Didn't mean to imply you always have to agree with your partner 100%, or that you shouldn't admit (generally) that you're including elements in your wedding based on your individual preferences, but sharing that you think his preferred tradition is dumb is something I personally would keep to myself. <br /><br />Anyway, I enjoy your blog and have been reading for years, that just stuck out to me as disrespectful to Andrew/less than the gracious personality you try to display.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-8965100320115089642019-05-08T09:46:36.315-04:002019-05-08T09:46:36.315-04:00Anonymous,

I am still my own person with my own thoughts and feelings! I guess I’m modern in that sense. Don’t feel the need to act like I absolutely love the idea of a wedding cake, if I don’t! Happy to do something that makes my fiancé happy and I know he has been the same way to me with some wedding planning things! I think that’s what any relationship is about- compromise and making the other happy! <br /><br />You do you, and I’ll do me :) Sydney Carver Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832130417656416013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-44924070614189047982019-05-08T08:19:54.140-04:002019-05-08T08:19:54.140-04:00Something nontraditional I did was I had my mom an...Something nontraditional I did was I had my mom and dad walk be down the aisle.

However, I suggest that you don't tell the world about the elements you're not thrilled with including, but kept just because A wanted them. Once you've decided as a couple on something, you should support it in public - you two are a unit :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918559434689983550.post-35284271862747314442019-05-08T06:55:33.218-04:002019-05-08T06:55:33.218-04:00When I was planning my wedding we thought that we ...When I was planning my wedding we thought that we would have to freeze the top tier of our cake to save for our one year anniversary. However the bakery we chose let us know that they would bake us a small anniversary cake if we called them a week in advance of our anniversary date. This way we had a fresh anniversary cake and saved room in our freezer. Check with your bakery of choice, they may do the same!Kelseynoreply@blogger.com
