wedding reception in usa (part 4)

alternate title: cutting the cakes

Our cakes were made by our wedding coordinator. The "wedding cake" was strawberry, while the groom's cake was chocolate. And, can I just say they were DELICIOUS!! I don't care for most cakes . . . but this stuff was great!

The groom's cake has a Chinese "chop" (or seal) that is supposed to be the wedding word for double joy or double happiness inside a door, which Lawrance choose because he and I (two joys) were starting a new home (door). BUT . . . they left off the bottom part of the "double joy" . . . so EVERYONE--American and Taiwanese--ask us what it means. :)

Cutting the cakes was a blast!! Lawrance had no idea what we were going to be doing. I didn't tell him anything. I just told him "wait and see." So, he really was clueless, which made it WAY more fun for us and our guests too.

Posing with the Cake

Feeding him a rather large piece, but doing it nicely.

His reaction. (And, me not wanting to get cake on the dress.)

___
Me preparing a SMALL piece for him to feed me.

___
He wants a big piece and says, "Now I will show you how we do it in Taiwan."

___
As he puts it in his own mouth, I am a bit confused thinking he is going to feed himself.

___
Then I realize what he is going to do . . . and EVERYONE laughs loudly as they figure it out too!!

___
If you haven't figured it out yet . . . He wants me to eat it FROM HIS MOUTH!!!! OH MY!!

___
After all that drama . . . we move on to the groom's cake.

___
Obviously, cutting it together.

___
And, to ensure he didn't make me eat from his mouth again, we fed each other at the same time. :)

Yay!! It was so much FUN!!

And what was wonderful too . . . is that a big plate of the leftover cake was snuck into the honeymoon suite for us. We got to enjoy our wonderful cake throughout our honeymoon! Thanks to whoever did that . . . Mom?? Sarah??
