The Wedding Cake

The Wedding Cake

I told my bride that we should have
a special wedding cake
Something very different,
a statement it would make

Explaining how I saw it
and the flavors I desired
The special little figurines
my vision had inspired

How it would be delicious
in our favorite butter cream
Tinted in the color red,
yes that would be a dream

I even drew a picture
of each layer to the top
I really got excited
it was very hard to stop

Its then I looked into her eyes
and saw an evil stare
I asked what I had done so wrong
would she please like to share

That’s when she shattered all my hopes
when these few words she said
“There’s no way I will have a cake
that’s themed “The Walking Dead”


I guess that means I shouldn’t take my Daryl vest on the honeymoon. : )

Congratulations! The Lannisters will be proud of you! You almost won the Iron Throne. Be happy you didn't, the thing must hurt one's butt terribly while sitting there, not to speak of your back, and the chances of survival are slim.

I'm sure it does, they need a cushion or two on that thing. :) But if the Dragon Mother was sitting on my lap, I wouldn't care how uncomfortable it was. :)

Thanks so much Lisa, in my world, (work world) humor is often what gets me through the day. If I took all of this stuff seriously, there'd be a problem I couldn't laugh off. And besides, I love making people smile. :)

LOL... No Daryl vest for YOU! Game of Thrones, that might be possible, if you choose the right cake, without poison that is.

It's my favorite vest too. :) Thanks so much Darren, I wonder what flavor the Lanisters would like best.

Very fun, Chris. Saw a t-shirt yesterday: bride with groom, then "Game Over". That wouldn't go over well either. Very nice, keep it up! Dave
