I'm so in, Dana! I can't wait to see how it all turns out.
As a pastry chef, I'm kind of surprised you don't want more control of your cake...that would drive me NUTS! That said, you make a good point. If you have no expectations for what it will look like...you won't get disappointed. For me, if I didn't know what it looked like, I'd probably still "expect phenomenal" and get disappointed if it didn't meet that requirement of being amazing. So, I really admire that you can do that. So awesome!
And your engagement story is adorable. My DF was actually reading a story tonight about how couples who have really expensive engagement/wedding rings are more likely to divorce. That could be for any number of reasons...but I think the article was going for, "If the couple is putting material things above their happiness (i.e., getting themselves in to debt by buying really spendy wedding stuff, as opposed just focusing on loving each other). So, the fact that he just wanted to get married to you (and vice versa!) says so much. So, congratulations to you both for finding such a wonderful love.

Hello! Honestly, neither can I
I think it's at least partially because I can't think of any particular design I want, and neither can DF. Disney's bakeries tend to do pretty good work for weddings, and if I'm working with them, I'd hopefully trust them enough to do my wedding cake I've seen some really awesome cakes from them when the couples don't ask for a specific design. I also know that as a decorator, I tend to have a little more fun with it when someone tells me that I have free reign over their cake.
I'm glad you like our engagement story I like it quite a lot It suits us. I showed DF your comment and he told me that he'd actually read an article similar to what you mentioned, so I wonder if it was the same one. In all truth, I'd be happy getting married to him at the courthouse if it was all we could do. We're planning for Disney, but we both know that there's always a possibility that we may not be able to do it. It's not about the expensive ring or the wedding as a status symbol for me. I just want to marry him, and if we have to do that with our friend officiating in our living room, then so be it.
Oh, and thank you Hope you enjoy reading along!
