When The Wedding Is All About The Flowers and Cake
I was entering a shop that specializes on wedding items which include wedding souvenirs, traditional invitations, flowers and cakes when I went by a couple whom I knew were getting married since they were arguing regarding everything.
The girl wanted a bouquet of flowers that had 5 different kinds of flowers in it and the groom said it’s going to look like a bouquet of candies when their wedding motif is supposed to be silver and white. The guy wanted the girl to choose a bouquet of flowers that were closer to the tone of their wedding motif so that it won’t grab all the attention when she walks down the aisle. The girl was fuming and she said that she’s having 5 kinds of flowers in her bouquet or she’s not walking down that aisle. The guy didn’t have a choice but give way to her bride-to-be. If he doesn’t, she might go ala-runaway bride.
I figured almost everything had already been settled between the couple so I walked by them and went to the cakes section of the shop. I am just a massive cake fan and I just go there to take a look at the modern designs that cake designers are coming up with nowadays as compared to the standard cakes that have the smooth layer commonly known as fondant and is overloaded with fruits or flowers. I almost didn’t figure out that the pile of pillows in front of me was a huge wedding cake. It looked just like a tall pile of Indian-inspired pillows that even had dangling tassels in it. It even had silver and gold beads that turned out to be candies. The 5-layered pillow cake looked so soft and delicious. Although I was not sure if the cake on exhibit was a real one or it was just a replica on display. I did not dare touch it. It looked really yummy though.
The couple whom I’ve heard arguing minutes ago, we’re arguing again but this time, it was about their cake. The guy wanted a modern cake because he wanted the cake to stand out during the dinner. The girl didn’t want anything else but the 3-layered fondant cake covered with cherries, mangoes and peaches. I thought her choice sounded great. But then the guy said that he’ll be paying for it anyway so it’ll be his choice of the cake that they’ll have for the wedding dinner.
The girl was furious once more and she said that the guy could eat the cake himself on their wedding dinner if he doesn’t pick her choice. The guy, I think, was fed up with each and every yakking so they instantly left the shop buying nothing. The store attendant was giggling from the back of the counter as he looked at me and said “they’ve already been here three times now and still the same situation”.
With that, I thought maybe they should’ve hired a wedding planner who will coordinate everything that they will need in preparation for their wedding. That way, they won’t have too much work to do and the burden is distributed evenly. That is what wedding planners are paid to do and we as customers are responsible in making that decision whether we want to make our wedding a huge success or the biggest laugh that will be part of our photo albums forever.
