This couple I'm making a wedding cake for -- the girl describes her future in relation to an 80s movie.
She said: "Only 131 days until I marry Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles. Plaid shirts, fair isle sweaters, red sports car and all." Next to that, she provided a link to a picture of Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles. Her husband looks like him in this slightly bulldog underbite way -- but just so. His jaw is pulled out to the exact angle that makes him look nasty and unconvincing, but handsome still. When I had met with them, he asked me, "So, what's your favorite cake you've ever done?" and he nearly licked the appetizer plate clean. He bought my beer on his American Express.
I can't decide if I feel sorry and sad or just confused.
