Our cake topper finally arrived!

It took two months and two separate shipments to get to us from the UK, but it finally arrived and it's perfect!!! Before we ever dated, we were good friends and heard I Choose You by Sarah Bareilles. We both said we had thought it would be the perfect song for our weddings if we ever got married...

Before we ever dated, we were good friends and heard I Choose You by Sarah Bareilles. We both said we had thought it would be the perfect song for our weddings if we ever got married again (but I was convinced I never would so joke is on me!). WE will use the song for our first dance but when I saw the cake topper she was adamant that this was the one. I'm so happy with it!!!!!

    We ended up skipping one because the ONLY one I liked was a faerie couple but it was a limited release item from an artist that was like $300 to find on ebay. Ugh my heart!! I would’ve paid it if my wedding had a much bigger budget, I love it so much. 😭 The groom is a silver haired knight!!!

    That would have been perfect for you!!!! Originally I wanted one with two women but it's hard to find one with the taller bride in a dress. Plus, they try to make the bride in pants look "girlier" with really long hair or heels. Words seemed like the safest option.

    I really wish there were just androgynous cake toppers, it would appeal to a lot of people! Cye is only 5’2 and very skinny with long hair but of course I couldn’t find a topper with a shorter and more feminine groom either. It’s stupid. I’m glad we get same sex toppers now but there isn’t enough variety out there at all. We totally gave up lol
    When we saw that faerie topper we were like “It’s our DnD characters!” ugh I’m still sad about it but our cake is covered in flowers so it doesn’t need one.

    We have gone far but we're definitely not there yet. I considered a customized one but then I thought we could add nerdy with words. At first I was thinking "As You Wish" or "Always" but this one just seemed perfect. Our cake will only have an ombre effect so I really wanted something to make it all look finished. I can't stop gushing over it.

    Oh my gosh those customized ones are so insanely expensive, I clicked out of them the second I saw the additional fees! “As You Wish” would’ve been really cute but I like yours better. There was one idea for a cake topper I considered besides the faerie couple but Cye said no lol. I wanted a sword coming out of the cake. He said it would break the sugar flowers. Boooo

    I think yours is going to be awesome without the topper anyway. I was telling Kris about your wedding and while she wouldn't want that for us she thought it was pretty awesome. She also loved the scroll idea and offered to get one for the ceremony even though we have the book. I think we're good since all three of us will have our own books and I really like that idea. But scrolls for a dinner party is happening!!!!

    That’s funny! I tell Cye about your wedding too. He doesn’t know about the scrolls yet, I’m going to present his in some exaggerated “Here you are m’lord” sort of way because why not.

    We used this song for our bridal party to walk in to. It's awesome you found a topper to coordinate with your song.

    Since the song had such a special meaning it felt right. I love that you used the same song for your bridal party. It's such a good song!

    Sarah Bareilles fans here too!

    We are using "I choose you" for our recessional song and her version of "Tightrope" from The Greatest Showman Re-imagined soundtrack for our first dance.

    My god her harmonies are so LUSH!


    Have a great wedding!

    We LOVE Sarah Bareilles! I love your music choices for those. Funny you mention Greatest Showman, I insisted on including Pink's cover of A Million Dreams somewhere in the reception. I mean would it even be a wedding between two women without Sarah Bareilles and Pink? LOL
