My wife and I cutting our wedding cake

On Saturday I got married :). The past couple of months have been a little hectic, though probably not as much for me as for my wife. I’ve had a lot of stuff going on and I do feel a little bad that this site has been put on hold a little bit. However, weddings are crazy and I had no idea how much energy goes into them (including this wedding, I’ve only ever been to 5 weddings – 4 of them have been in the past year and a half). Our wedding was held at the Engineer’s Club in Baltimore and there were 130-something attendees.

Since the wedding is now over, activity on this site will probably pick up some. I’ve been reading a lot of books in my spare time so I may do a few book reviews, however, I don’t want to turn this page into a book review site, so if I do go that route I’ll space them out somewhat.

Super Mario Bros Groom's Cake

Also, before I forget, my advice to anyone getting married soon would be this:

  • Wear comfortable shoes. My feet were killing me at the end of the night.
  • Dance lessons were well worth it. Take them!
  • Try to talk to everyone during dinner and don’t get stuck at one table.
  • If there’s some food you want, have someone get you some or have it set aside (I missed out on the delicious strawberry layer of our cake – and on the delicious pigs in a blanket finger food).
  • The day will be a lot of fun, don’t sweat it!

Lastly, the cake to the right was a groom’s cake that my bride had made for me :). She gave them some pics of other Mario wedding cakes so it’s similar to them, but toned down since it was just for a rehearsal diner. Mario and Peach were a little pudgy, but I thought it was a really, really cool cake. At the time of its making I was kind of obsessed with the New Super Mario Bros game for the Wii, which is why she had it done.

  1. Wow, congrats Pat! I had no idea you were engaged. Did you ever mention it on here?

    Anyway, best wishes and good luck! And the Super Mario Cake was awesome.

  2. Thanks Matt :). I’m not sure if I mentioned it here, though if I did it probably would have just been a small mention.

  5. Yes, congrats Pat. I’ll be doing the deed this November. Sweet cake.

  7. I’m posting here because you turned off comments on the post that matters; way to support open discussion you shallow opportunist.

    You all take yourselves way to seriously. I can’t believe I’ve wasted any of my time reading and talking to people about this when the world’s worst ecological disaster is unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe instead of wasting your time bickering over brass on the Titanic you should donate that hour or two of your time to actually trying to make a difference in the world.

    I’ve known Marak for about ten years, in person. He’s curt and likes to rock the boat, but are you seriously going to tell me that you take yourself that seriously to feel the need to respond to it? And if you were so pissed off, why did you go do the juvenille thing and write about it publicly? The adult, mature thing to do is to contact him privately and ask him to change it.

    Seriously, this is a waste of my time. I’m ashamed I wrote this post.

  8. Congrats Pat. Has that much time really gone by? I remember when you were in high school. That makes me… ::counts fingers::

    Erm…nevermind.

    All the best. 🙂
