So mistakes were made, the biggest one being thinking I could do this.

BUT my wife and I recently had an honest conversation about things we felt we missed out on doing our wedding the way we did (read: small and cheap) and one thing they said is they wished we had gotten a real wedding cake. And since tomorrow is the anniversary of the night we met, I took the opportunity to try and give them a cake. It’s not very good, but it did make them cry, so, small victories.
