I was entering a shop that specializes on wedding items which include wedding souvenirs, traditional invitations, flowers and cakes when I went by a couple whom I knew were getting married since they were arguing regarding everything.
The girl wanted a bouquet of flowers that had 5 different kinds of flowers in it and the groom said it’s going to look like a bouquet of candies when their wedding motif is supposed to be silver and white. The guy wanted the girl to choose a bouquet of flowers that were closer to the tone of their wedding motif so that it won’t grab all the attention when she walks down the aisle. The girl was fuming and she said that she’s having 5 kinds of flowers in her bouquet or she’s not walking down that aisle. The guy didn’t have a choice but give way to her bride-to-be. If he doesn’t, she might go ala-runaway bride.
I thought everything had been settled between the couple so I walked passed them and went to the cakes section of the store. I’m a big cake fan and I just go there to look at the modern designs that cake designers are coming up with nowadays as compared to the conventional cakes that have the smooth layer called fondant and is overloaded with fruits or flowers. I never thought that the pile of pillows in front of me was a big wedding cake. It looked so much like a tall pile of Indian-inspired pillows that even had dangling tassels in it. It even had silver and gold beads that turned out to be candies. The 5-layered pillow cake looked so soft and yummy. Although I wasn’t sure if the cake on display was a real one or it was just a replica on display. I didn’t dare touch it. It looked really good though.
The couple whom I have heard arguing minutes ago, we’re arguing again but this time, it seemed to be relating to their cake. The guy desired a modern cake due to the fact that he needed the cake to stand out during the dinner. The girl didn’t want anything else but the 3-layered fondant cake covered with cherries, mangoes and peaches. I assumed her alternative sounded superb. But then the guy said that he will be paying for it anyway so it will be his choice of the cake that they are going to have for the wedding dinner.
The girl was furious again and she said that the guy will be eating the cake by himself on their wedding dinner if he isn’t going to pick her option. The guy, I think, had enough of all the yakking so they promptly left the store buying nothing. The store attendant was snickering from the back of the counter as he looked at me and said “they’ve happened to be here 3 times now and nothing has changed”.
With that, I assumed maybe they should’ve consulted a wedding planner who will coordinate everything they will need in preparation for their wedding. That way, they will not have too much work to do since the burden is distributed evenly. That’s what wedding planners are usually paid to do and we as clients usually are responsible in coming up with that decision whether we want to make our wedding a tremendous success or even the greatest laugh that will likely be part of our photo albums forever.
