After the girls finished laughing about the outcome from the cake pull, we had quite a crowd gather around to watch us cut into our wedding cake. I love this picture of Mr. Ballet Flat… just a great smile there! I think it’s because he likes me or something. 
I really don’t like cutting into cakes. Maybe it’s because I decorate them for a hobby and can appreciate how much work goes into them. So, Mr. BF took the reins and made that first cut… poor cake!
I’m pretty sure I was grabbing at the small sliver, trying not to get my hands too sticky.
I was so nervous about this part. I asked Mr. BF—well, more like PLEADED with him, not to smash cake. Thankfully, he didn’t, but apparently, I forced a huge wedge in his mouth. Oops!
We’re trying to chew with our mouths closed here and preventing any droppage, which I am known to do (klutz again). Momma BF would have had a heart attack.
Afterwards, we had to wash it down. This was a fun thing to figure out… darn arm looping. People kept yelling at me to face the cameras, but I was pretty stuck there. I should have used my left hand here or something.
Check out how big Mr. BF is cheesin’!! Oh yeah, Mr. BF was excited about getting into that groom’s cake. King cakes are out of season in May, by the way, so our guests were all sorts of happy about this little surprise!
Oh, and just for kicks, check out the paparazzi. Crazy wedding guests! 
It was time for our guests to dig in for dessert and of course, some more wedding fun! Stay tuned!

@tea: I forgot to mention that!!! My grandmother got the baby and never told me. Come Kings Day in January, I have a box at my house from Manny Randazzo’s with a note from my g-ma saying “I guess I owe y’all one since I got the baby!” It was a yummy surprise!
Yum! I love that your grandma kept the baby tradition alive.

Mrs. Ballet Flat, New Orleans Age and Occupation: 24, Geographic Information Systems Analyst Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, IT Analyst Engagement Date: March 16, 2008 Wedding Date: May, 2009 Blogging Since: September 25, 2008 Venue: St. Charles Borromeo Church/Jefferson-Orleans North About Me: I absolutely love wedding planning, spending time with Mr. Ballet Flat, various crafts, watching football, baking, pop music, bargain hunting and ice cream. My idea of a great date night is dinner and clearance shopping with Mr. Ballet Flat! I currently live below sea level in the suburbs near New Orleans, where I make maps all day, everyday for my job. I'm slowly becoming more and more obsessed with anything New Orleans related for our wedding, and I can't wait for the big day!
