decorations to a minimum, and adding nothing to our
125-year-old marble-columned, stained-glass-filled
church for the ceremony. Of course, the main focal
points at the reception will be the cakes. Which brings
up, possibly, the most enjoyable part of wedding plan-
ning.
We tasted cakes at two Fort Worth bakeries, both very
good, and Back Home Bakery in Weatherford. Of course,
Back Home Bakery took the cake and we made our
deposit this summer. For our wedding cake, the design
was agreed upon easily. It’s a clean white cake with some
mild Art-Deco inspirations. John’s cake is a little more
ornate and it took more time for his vision to come alive
on paper. We met with their cake decorator twice, and
she patiently listened to John’s ideas until they under-
stood what he wanted.
By the end of July, planning had hit the fast-and-furi-
ous state. The Catholic Church requires us to take several
marriage prep classes, which we had been working our
way through over the summer. There is also quite a bit of
paperwork that was due by the end of July, including our
music selections, religious reading preferences and our
marriage license.
With just under 10 weeks left, invitations went out,
the honeymoon was booked and all the little details
started to come together. Now, the excitement of plan-
ning is turning into sheer excitement of seeing those plans
become a reality. And they will on the afternoon of Sept.
30. We can’t wait!
