Since my DH couldn't eat the wedding cake, we had a cupcake we used to mock the cutting of the cake. I never got a chance to try my wedding cake, but on our first anniversary, he had the baker overnight a cake and frosting in the flavors we'd ordered and we put it together. Note: our baker was on an island off the coast of Washington state, and for our first anniversary we were in a little cabin in the Maine woods.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Seriously, this is so true, and SO BAFFLING to me!
It is soooo crazy. I tell every engaged couple that says anything about not having a registry that there will be crazy backlash. And there always is.

I swear I had heard about it, but according to the Internet not. OK wrong again.

Thrive to spite them
I've seen cupcakes instead of wedding cake on Offbeat Bride and one couple had an assortment of pies instead of wedding cake.
If Dean Winchester ever got married I'm sure he'd have pie.

At my cousin's wedding in Denver, their friends baked a ton of different pies for dessert. It was wonderful.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think the older generation really likes registries because they like the idea of helping you create a home. My mom still has stuff that she got as wedding presents, so the idea that she would buy something that the couple would keep and remember 60 years later is happy-making.

Yes, helping newleyweds set up their household can be fun!
Registries for a third marriage are not as much fun (in my opinion). A cousin announced an engagement for a 4th marriage recently and I vowed to myself not to send a gift.
