No. It's a cake that is just for him at the reception that is off to the side of the bridal/wedding cake.
It's usually chocolate. My FH's is gonna be a pineapple cake though b/c that's what he loves
i'm a nosy 2010 bride that has an engagement ring that had to be sized down to a 3.75

I love this thread. It's so much fun. Who knew wedding details could be fun? I mean really for me it's a headache to debate for so long. But it is fun discussing the outcome of the debates, and also seeing where everyone else is in the process...and hearing suggestions.
I have a question of makeup. Which do you like better? Not sure. It's down to these...
Look 1
Look 2
Look 3
Look 4
Reminder I'm wearing this with my hair half up and half down and festive flowers in my hair.

^^^See that's the thing I'm a lip gloss kinda gal so really the others are really made up. But I'm not sure if that's better for pics. And the first one with the plum eyes is really cute. I only like the first one because of the plum eye. I have this debate going...I'm always allnatural...shouldn't I glam it up? It's my wedding. Time to feel extra special... But then I KNOW me and really I'm the lip gloss...occasional mascara person. So it just goes back and forth. I tried to choose those closest to my complexion, though I'm a little lighter...we're pretty much in the same family (complexion wise)
So you think that #3 could go with those plum eyes? I'm so NOT a makeup person so I don't have a clue. But I will have a makeup artist and want to give her a pic (idea) of what I want...h mmm interesting.

I hope someone else chimes in cuz i'm just not that girl, and i've given up on tryin to be her.
I am either going to get a makeup artist to do a natural look on me or have one of my MUAs i work with gimme a tutorial and practice practice practice so i can do it myself on the big day.
the thing is, i dont wanna look extra super model fabulous on my wedding day. I wanna look like me! but punched up a notch.

To both bolded (s) I co sign!! I so am NOT that girl at all.
I think it's fun once in a while to dress up, but I'm so not super model on a daily basis...and I'm not a makeup queen. It's a miracle I know what gloss and mascara are.
I guess I'll show the looks to the makeup artist and have her do her thing (or his). It'll probably be a close my eyes and pick one moment or maybe one will just feel right when I put on my dress and look at my hair. I guess if I picked up all of them I'm attracted to them in some ways. The last two because they're as natural as can be (really they're still not. Meaning she still has on a ton of makeup and in real life I don't even wear foundation. I just make sure my skin stays clear and smooth and kim...), and the other two are a little more dramatic and I like them because I think they'd be hot with my dress.
Oh well...it's good to get other opinions though.

You're right about colored stones to an extent. You can get them cheap but the quality will be less. You may get a lab created one...those are the ones that are usually super cheap, or else they'll be really low quality. The organic stones (and the quality ones) that aren't man made are going to cost more. Colored stones are beautiful but it depends on price. Top of the line can get expensive (my dad is an amateur gemologist and I learned a ton from him). For instance this saphire is a little over 2 and a half and it is wholesale for over $6000...can only imagine retail on that sucker (and that's not the ring that's just the stone and that's the wholesale price)
http://www.africagems.com/bluesapphire-74032.html
Examples of colored stones...My ruby (which was genuine, meaning non lab creation, and top quality) that my sweetie purchased...I had it appraised and let's just say I ran to insure it incase I lost it because he did goooood) and a good ruby can cost more than a diamond. Sometimes people make the mistake of thinking colored stones are not expensive, but they can be if you get top quality. So it depends on what stone and the quality of that stone (depends on the
price
To your second half you're right. I'm glad my sweetie got my imput. He did propose with a ring, but asked me earlier in our relationship what kind of rings I like (engagement) and took me to a store. I wasn't a fan of just diamonds. I wanted a ruby (as I like color stones) with diamonds around it. I thought it was a passing thing but my sweetie was taking notes. He even got a small thin band because I have small fingers 5 1/4. And the ruby is a little over 3.8 carats and surrounded by 1.0 of diamonds but it is cushion cut with it almost looking like a rectangle and the long part on the length of the fingers not the with so it doesn't look overwhelming even though my fingers are small. It was good to know he took that into account. So I think there are other ways for a guy to get your opinion without showing up without a ring.
I MUST see a picture!

Yeah, it's a cake to be served along with the wedding cake at the wedding reception. It is usually chocolate, though not necessarily, and it does reflect his interests. Here are a few pics from a local baker:

Yes! I discovered them a while ago from a poster here! Those pink and purple rings I linked are from that website. I love playing around with the different settings and cuts and colors of stones.

SURE. I don't make a habit of taking pics but since my fiance was smart enough to ask me to marry him I took pics... ha ha!
Scroll past the story in the first post and there's a pic of the ring.

Just copied pic so you don't have to go through the whole engagement story. The cell phone pic blew it up big...I didn't. It's just the way it transferred when I emailed it. Sorry, I don't know how to resize.

Thanks Whimsy!
That's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me!erplexed I guess it makes sense to compare the color to a thing. Because when you say "pink", it could be hot pink or pale pink, soft pink, bright pink. There's so many shades of pink. But when I say "blush", you know what I mean.
Hmmm. Makes sense

Let them eat cake! I hate how every wedding or party I go to, all the cake tastes the same! It's good cake but I've literally eaten the cake 100's of times. I want something unique. I love white chocolate so I'd love to do a white chocolate cake with white chocolate ganache and alternating layers of raspberry and blackberry. Ties in perfectly with my spring theme and I can get fresh berries. I also like simple looking cake. Maybe a few dots and swirls and real flowers. Not too much of that stuff you see on TV; looks unappetizing.
BTW, the 4th cake is what I mean by over the top. Maybe 2 few tiers and 1000 less flowers and it'd be perfect.

Still working on the colors, themes and menu, etc...
CAN'T WAIT!

congrats! We looked into half moon and they seem to really have it together
.. It seems that the staff is really on it with all questions, and they also have many options of where to have your wedding and myriads of options for the wedding reception and wedding decorations. Has the wedding coordinator contacted you yet?

That sounds like a yummy YUMMY combination. OMG I can only imagine chocolate ganach and blackberry and rasberryLet them eat cake!
BTW, the 4th cake is what I mean by over the top.
Seems really festive....now you've got me wondering if I can replicate something similar for mine. I was thinking lemon with berries because my fiance loves lemon. maybe lemon cake with white chocolate frosting and some berries of sort...or better yet a white chocolate cake with lemon frosting and some berries in between....

Yeah, I called and spoke with someone there.. We'll be flying down in October to choose a spot for the ceremony and reception, and also do a food/cake tasting. We have to pay extra for the tastings, but I want to make sure the food is on point.
My uncle got married at Morgans Harbour in Port Royal, and believe me when I tell you, they were dissappointed about the food.. I don't want that to happen to me!
