The Top of Our Cake.

Cake topper:  A cake topper is another item frequently seen in bridal magazines.  Cake toppers are placed directly on top of a cake to give the cake a final, elegant touch.  What is truly fantastic about a cake topper is that an entire cake can be plainly frosted and with an added cake topper the cake decorating can be consider elegantly complete.  Cake toppers come in a variety of forms and shapes—the bride a groom being a popular selection, along with glass swans and crystal hearts just to name a few of may cake decorating toppers available.

BM J's friend's water broke at 2:00 AM. So she'd been up all night then at the hospital all morning, until she had to leave to go to the funeral at Noon.

BM E came with her mom to my parent's house to meet us (which I did not know was going to happen, even though I'd invited her I still hadn't heard a definite yes or no) so while I was upstairs getting ready she and her mom were greeted by this:

I was super excited for tomorrow... until yesterday when I got a text from MOH JB. One of her close friends had just died and she wasn't sure when the funeral and memorial service was going to be held. I felt bad for her and her friend's family, I also insisted that it was okay if she was unable to make it to try on dresses with us and that I understood.
