Something sweet is always a must for any celebration. If my family has a get together you can bet there will be some kind of insanely delicious cake or dessert. I looove wedding cakes! I love the 'marriage' between something that tastes like heaven, but also manages to look like a work of art. Martha stewart has her top 50 wedding cakes on marthastewartweddings.com. Some are simple, minimalist cakes with fresh flowers; some of them are all about lots of texture and some have extremely time-consuming, intricate sugar flowers & extensive piping. Here are some of my favorites: 

What did you love about your cake??? 

My husband and I celebrated our one year anniversary on September 22, 2008......So, everyone says the first year is the hardest? Well, if our first year is any indication of our future then bring it on!.....I LOVE being married, it's the most amazing thing. It's truly a gift to share my life with my best friend. We are eachothers #1, we make decisions together, and talk about everything (the good & bad stuff)

We finally received our wedding pictures, though we are STILL waiting on our album....(our ambitious photog took on too many projects this year, apparently)

We got married in a Vintage gymnasium called Old School Square that used to belong to a high school in the 1920's....I loved the exposed wood trusses inside (they still had graffiti on them from 90 years ago...amazing) the wooden gymnasium floor, the light fixtures.....I loved everything about it! I especially loved that Tiago and I met for the first time in our high school gym in 1997, so It was like re-living that all over again. What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic :) It took 9 months of some crazy planning. The first big purchase was my dress and the concept/theme for the wedding evolved from there. I designed everything around my dress, it was only the third one I had tried on, but fell in love with it almost instantly....So, here are some of my favorite photographs from our day..........
