Cake and Photographer... DONE!

So yesterday morning I was thinking about a cake I tried over the summer and thought I should see if I could get the cake for the wedding.

The back story:

This past summer I worked in the University Computing office at Western Connecticut State University making updates to the school's website. One of the gentlemen in the office: Paul, would bring in left over cake that his wife made the night before in her cake baking class. One of the cakes that came in was AMAZING, for lack of a better word. It was incredibly moist and beautiful. After trying the cake, I told my now fiance that he had to try this cake because it was great. I also went over to Paul and told him to tell his wife to make note of that cake because I would want her to make it for my wedding when the time comes. He took me half serious, told his wife, and moved on. I took the piece of cake home and had my now fiance and a handful of friends try a bite of the cake. It passed everyone's expectations so we decided that was our cake.


So I headed over to University Computing to talk to Paul about this fabulous cake. He was very happy to hear my news and was excited that I was serious about the cake. He called his wife and she said she would do it! She said she was rather surprised because she didn't know how serious I was but she would be happy to do it for me.


After leaving the University Computing office, I wanted to talk to a friend/classmate/co - worker of mine about photos. I am in the art department as a Graphic Design major and a minor in Photography. I decided that I really wanted to hire someone I knew to take photos so I would have more flexibility with gaining copyright permissions so I can do my own editing. I talked to Allan about it and he was excited about the idea. I spoke with Samantha and she quickly said yes!

Now we are just about 72 hours into our engagement and we have the ceremony location, the reception location, and cake, and a photographer! At this rate, I'll be bored by next week!
