Something blue ...
I recently purchased these blue garters from GartersByKrisit on www.etsy.com - they are adorable and look even better in person! My garters will be my "something blue" ... check back to find out what my other wedding day traditions will be (something old, something new, something borrowed ... and now you've seen the something blue)!

Cake ... yummy!
On Tuesday evening, Jon and I went to the Village Cake Shoppe here in Elk Grove for a cake tasting and to discuss possible wedding cake designs. We tried some pretty amazing cake ... and make some decisions about our wedding cake. We will be having a three tier cake - each tier will have a 4 layers - neopolitian cake with chocolate mousse, french vanilla mousse, and mocha mousse. The bottom layer will be a square, the middle layer an hexagon, and the top layer a round. Can you guess who picked out the design?!? Yep ... my math teacher of a future husband!
AND because he is a teacher, we received 10% off our order! Woo-hoo!!! The cake was so yummy ... very moist and the flavors just exploded on my tongue! I can't wait to eat it on our wedding day!
