The Cake Table Trial Run

We’re Off to Howe Caverns!
Nathan and I stand on the bridal altar in Howe Caverns, August, 2010. There's a legend behind this...I'll share it in a later post.
As you’re reading this Nathan and I are on our way up to Howe Caverns to finalize some plans for the wedding.
We’ll be staying at the on-property hotel, and our schedule’s pretty full. We’ll be finalizing reception plans with Howe Caverns’ Anne-Marie and Joanne, cake-tasting (Nathan can’t wait) at the Villa Italia bakery, and meeting our Officiant. We also plan on taking another tour of the Caverns—it’s unlikely we’ll have time to do it the weekend of the wedding.
We’re excited to finalize…and we’re excited to have a little bit of down-time. I think there is no Wi-Fi!
We’ll be back in town this weekend.
Awesome!

Questing for Cake Toppers
I, like many people I’m sure, am a perfectionist, especially when it comes to planning theme parties. I have a vision in my head, and I do the best I can to make it work the way I’d envisioned. Yet … Continue reading
