I rest my case. Good cake is important to good people.

Christ, I'm usually three sheets by the time I get to the cake.

Closing the bar for dinner really pisses me off.

Fringey, while your second paragraph mitigates the problem, I am still shocked to see you posting about wedding cake.

For fuck's sake. Take it to ivillage.com, people!

So what type of cake do you suppose Ben & JLo will have at their wedding. I bet it will be delicious!!!

People DO that? That's just wrong.

I can appreciate good cake even drunk.

Recalling again, that the very good friend only had wine at dinner and even after the dinner. But I think every one of the groom's friends had brought one or more bottles of hard liquor to the dinner/reception so we were well-supplied.

It's all about the cake. I don't care if someone's posting about their slobbering infant's deadly-dull first birthday bash--how can a post about dessert ever be bad?

That's why I'm surprised by the amount of posting on the subject. If you are not the bride, the groom, or the caterer (or the mother of any of the three) and you can recall anything about the wedding cake, you don't know how to have a good time at a wedding.

I did not get to eat the cake at my first wedding because I stopped at a bar for shots of Goldschlager (ugh) on the way from the ceremony to the reception and then drank a bottle of tequila with the only person at the reception that I liked (a college friend who also had shown up late to my shower with a gift of crotchless panties and a peek-a-boo bra which almost gave my soon to be mother-in-law (fucking cunt) a heart attack). For my second marriage we went down to the courthouse one day and got married by a judge -- no cake but I had to go back to work anyway. I did not eat cake at my sister's wedding because I was outside getting into a "shoving match that almost turned into a fistfight" with some piece of shit kid who I once babysat for -- luckily I had chosen my own maid of honor dress which permitted such activities. I hate weddings so I normally just send a check.

I don't worry about closed bars -- I bring my own cooler of brewskies with me everywhere I go.

edited to wonder aloud how the tomato basil versus asparagus soup turned into weddings -- I don't recall Str8 saying that this dinner is for a wedding. Did I black out again?

I wasn't sufficiently precise. I should have written that I was surprised that fringey was posting about anything wedding-related.

And who posts about their slobbering infants on the FB?

Some of my most drunken debauched hookups have occured at weddings. But I tend to always remember the cake. I love cake.

I've seen it pretty regularly. It seemed aimed specifically at controlling the very people who would abuse it. Most people were able to load up before dinner, coast through the dinner itself on the liberally poured wine, and then get back to full-on boozing as soon as the table was cleared.

Sisters under the skin. But I don't wear the weird-looking hats or talk funny.

Next time I am too shy to slug someone who sorely needs it, you're hired. Beer's on me!

I was addressing your joke in conjunction with your earlier PC rant about. I assumed the joke was an extension of your earlier argument.

Whatever you say, Gilbert.
