The dinner game hijinks were a hoot and we were still on a high from them when someone motioned to us that it was time for cake. Yippee! We both LOVE cake!

If you will remember, when we met with the wedding coordinator upon our arrival at the resort, I was well prepared and not only handed her these two photos, but also some purple ribbon as well, which I’d bought back home.

Knowing that things at destination weddings don’t always turn out exactly as you imagine them, I didn’t expect our cake to look exactly like those photos.

However… well… have you ever been to that site Cake Wrecks? It’s a self-described “gallery of deformed, distasteful and bizarrely decorated wedding and birthday cakes”.

I think we may have something to submit.

DUN DUN DUN…

Can you truly appreciate the horror? No? Check out those first two photos again and then come back to this:

Uh… GROOVY?

I won’t even waste my energy having a fit over the absence of flowers on the top (again with the flower fiascos?) because let’s face it, folks - even if they were dancing around on top and singing Viva La Vida Loca, no wreath of flowers could have saved this cake.

Once I got over my initial horror though, this became just another hilarious DW mishap. So once again, ON WITH THE SHOW!

Our guests gathered around to witness the massacre of the cake.

One of our awesome servers offered to hold my train for the momentous occasion and paused to give us a thumbs-up. (I love this photo - seriously, how funny is that?!)

Here we go! Smile and pose for Photophil!

Behold: the (what’s supposed to be epic) cake cutting close-up! (Snort, snort.)

Mr Breezy goes in for the kill, and ooooh, what’s gonna happen next? As you can see, random lady at the next-door table is also eager to find out. Hmm… she looks downright petrified.

Chill out, random lady! Mr Breezy is a perfect gentleman. Aw… see? Ain’t he sweet?

Uh, wait a second… hey… wha-… wait… what’re you…

… oh no he di-in’t?!?

CAKE SMASHHHHHH!!!

GAHHHHH!!!

For the record, I once told Mr Breezy that if he ever pulled this kind of trick on me on my wedding day, I’d divorce him on the spot.

He claims it wasn’t valid because I said it more than 6 months in advance and his memory doesn’t go back further than that. Can you believe that caca?

Hey Mr Breezy… SURPRISE! Your wife can dish it too. TAKE THAT.

Mr Breezy: “That just confirms I married the right girl.”

OK OK, so I made fun of how the cake looked but I will gladly admit that in this case, looks were deceiving - it was absolutely delicious!

Which is really all the guests cared about… especially Mr Breezy and Mr G.

It was a wonderfully funny (and scrumptious!) wedding dinner and the service was amazing. Honestly, I still can’t believe we only had two servers for sixty guests… the servers at the Majestic Colonial are super fantastic and I’m very grateful for them.

That said, we were running a bit behind schedule. Not that our “wedding coordinator” was anywhere in sight to tell us that though. *Sigh*

It was time to high-tail it to the disco and let loose (even more, if you can believe!).

Amazingly, Photophil Steingard and Michael Steingard did not get any cake on their camera lenses during the documentation of this cake wreck.
