Deerly Beloved: Cake Time

Our cake had been staring me in the face all night, and after missing out on all of the food during cocktail hour (too busy talking), as well as all 3 courses of dinner (again, too busy talking!), I was READY for cake!  I was so ready, in fact, that I went searching for our Maitre'D to get to cutting before it was actually time!

And hive, the cake was pretty delicious!  After we cut the cake and fed each other a piece, I kept eating that piece while I was standing there!  It was that good (and I was that hungry!).
 
While there are a lot of adorable pictures from our cake cutting, those three are the only ones I actually like. Why you may ask? Well... a certain thing called "Mrs Elk's Fake Hair" decided to make an unwanted appearance near the end of the evening. Therefore, almost every picture of me taken from my left side (aka every pic from the cake cutting)  is plagued with a very obvious band of velcro which announces "hey, this hair..totally fake!"  And now that I've seen it, I can't unsee it!    Do you see it? How bout in this adorable "frosting on the nose" shot?     or how bout in this ever flattering "Mrs Elk PIGS OUT while her arms flail like a T-Rex" shot Obviously the velcro hair piece is not the end of the world, but it is enough to make me wary of using these otherwise adorable photos for anything (other than obviously share them with the hive- I wouldn't hold back from you guys!)
