Mrs. Ribbons's Picture
Mrs. Ribbons, Washington D.C./Bloomington, IN Age and Occupation: 23, Research Associate for an international development firm Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Proposal Coordinator for contractor Engagement Date: May 2, 2008 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Indiana Memorial Union About Me: I'm an Indiana transplant living in DC with my fiance and our pretty kitty. I enjoy the color pink, I'm obsessed with the Dior New Look and tulle, and I heart my level 80 paladin. I'm a sucker for bad TV, literary theory, and cakes of all persuasion. I also happen to be marrying the cutest closet nerd around! It's all about Bloomington for us because it's where we met -- on the college paper. If there's a theme for our small summertime wedding, it's Dior meets Dorothy Draper on a lark in Bloomington; think poofy, plus graphic prints, bold colors, and a whole lot of prettiness.

Love in Bloom: Dinner and, More Importantly, Cake :  wedding pictures pro pics recap 51887921 008

After our first dance, dinner was served buffet style. I can’t say it was the most amazing meal—I can hardly say anything about it, actually, because I hardly ate!

But the cake. The cake was fantastic.

It was vanilla creme with almond filling and a cream cheese frosting. Ridiculous.

Once it looked like dinner was winding down, we decided to cut the cake.

My mom bought the cake cutting set for us. I had no idea what I was doing.

Eventually I managed to chisel out a few crumbs with frosting on them. Really. I failed at this.

Thankfully, we were given human-sized portions of cake at our table so I could properly enjoy it, instead of the Fieval-sized piece I had for the cake-cutting. Phew.
