The past couple of months have been a little hectic, though probably not as much for me as for my wife. I&#8217;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&#8217;ve only ever been to 5 weddings &#8211; 4 of them have been in the past year and a half). Our wedding was held at the Engineer&#8217;s Club in Baltimore and there were 130-something attendees. <\/p>\n<p>Since the wedding is now over, activity on this site will probably pick up some. I&#8217;ve been reading a lot of books in my spare time so I may do a few book reviews, however, I don&#8217;t want to turn this page into a book review site, so if I do go that route I&#8217;ll space them out somewhat.<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/patorjk.com\/images\/blog-2010\/super-mario-bros-grooms-cake.png\" title=\"Super Mario Bros Groom&#039;s Cake\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Super Mario Bros Groom&#039;s Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure>Also, before I forget, my advice to anyone getting married soon would be this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wear comfortable shoes. My feet were killing me at the end of the night.<\/li>\n<li>Dance lessons were well worth it. Take them!<\/li>\n<li>Try to talk to everyone during dinner and don&#8217;t get stuck at one table.<\/li>\n<li>If there&#8217;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 &#8211; and on the delicious pigs in a blanket finger food).<\/li>\n<li>The day will be a lot of fun, don&#8217;t sweat it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lastly, the cake to the right was a groom&#8217;s cake that my bride had made for me :). She gave them some pics of other Mario wedding cakes so it&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday I got married :).
