A wedding planning, photo taking, cake planning post!

When it comes to the whole planning a wedding thing, I'm a bit behind. I feel like I'm at a standstill. Part of the reason is school and procrastination. Part if it may be my sadness over this whole who's gonna marry us thing. Last post, I briefly mentioned going to the paster and asking him if he could marry us. He said yes. When we went to church on Sunday he told us he didn't realize that they were going to leave on vacation that day. I was devastated. It hurt... a lot. I took it for granted, so when I found out, I was crushed. It was something that I didn't think I would have to worry about. Is it good luck when so many things go wrong during the wedding process?

Ahh pigeons.
Yeah, pigeons. I'm in an animal based photo class right now. I couldn't think of anything extraordinary to do other then street photography for my semester long project. That was sort of a bust. I started to follow pigeons and something interesting is coming out of it. I feel so stupid that I am the pigeon lady. The crazy person you always pass by that is interacting with them. I take photos and Joe feeds them. It's kind of silly, but kind of fun too. It's interesting to start to care about an animal when I haven't really been close to any before. I mean the closest was a bird that died soon after we even got him when I was like 6. I don't really count him or our fish. Pigeons are also something that Chicago natives ignore and think of as rats with wings. I am going to attempt to explore them. Giving them a comical human humor. I also am going to try and create some aesthetically pleasing picture that involve their feathery little bodies. I'll give you a sneak peak soon.

This weekend I am going to create a cake for my grandparent's 50th anniversary. Can you believe it?! 50 years. That's fantastic. This photo below is my inspiration for the cake. It will be two layers, made up of carnations instead of roses with a giant 50 on top. I don't normally like cake toppers, but this one will do. A traditional sort of cake. I'm excited to do something for them. I don't like the gold little balls, so I am thinking a traditional buttercream border. I can't decide if it should be gold or white...maybe white. It's a little more traditional.
