A personalized wedding

by W. Andrew Powell

This week I’m feeling a little random, but I had to pass on a few wedding tidbits that amused me, and might interest a few of the other grooms-to-be out there. The funny thing is though, these tidbits come back to the same idea of personalizing your wedding, and while that may be a no-brainer, I don’t think everyone realizes all the quirky things you can do on your wedding day.

For one thing, there’s the cake and desserts. Aisha and I are planning on a few small treats, but I’m foregoing the “groom’s cake” to save a little money. That said, if I did get a groom’s cake, this is what I’d want:

Plus, while the cost can be a bit steeper than basic cake toppers, Aisha and I are looking at some custom ideas, and I won’t lie, since we’re having a movie theme at our wedding, this kind of rocks, if you ask me…

Finally, the other fun thing I stumbled across this week, which is a bit of a permanent thing you can do, is this tattoo I saw on Tumblr. The tattoos are actually shared between friends, but I have to admit, this is the kind of idea I’d definitely go for, but I suspect it won’t work for Aisha (although I’d do it in a second).
