We have a cake, a suit, and a marriage license!

Ben and I both had today (Monday) off of work and got a few wedding items crossed off our list. We started out by going to Baraboo for an 8am cake tasting (nice breakfast, huh?!). It wasn't at all what we were expecting - she basically handed us a 6" cake (made up of several flavors) and a bunch of little cups of filling and told us to take it with us to try on our own. Weird. We still haven't tried it yet - maybe at half-time of the Monday Night Football game I'm excitedly watching with Ben (was that convincing?)...Brett is playing after all! Anyway - we're on the books to get the cake there - we just need to finalize flavors and the design. Then we were off to the court house to get our marriage license - and no (Dad) we didn't have to do any of the blood test nonsense they used to make you do. From there we went to Mens Wearhouse and got Ben his official wedding suit! I think it was harder to pick that out than it was my dress. Our original plan was for him to get a navy pinstripe - but we ended up with a solid navy. Dan and Joey are both in pinstripes - but I think it's nice Ben will stand out a bit. As the salesperson said - we wouldn't want people to get confused and not know if Dan or Ben is the groom! Haha - what a random thing for him to say, huh? Anyway :) He has a cream colored dress shirt, a very nice silk tie, and silk suspenders to keep those pants up! I'll work on getting a pic of the tie up here so people know - but it's light colored blues, cream, and a nice light colored coppery brown/taupe that will look great with girl's dresses!
