Chidi Ogbuta of Allen, Texas, wanted a wedding cake like no other ... and the bride got it: the wedding cake is a full-size likeness of herself!

My wife and I went to a wedding recently where they had displayed a quite large photographic portrait of the bride in her wedding dress. The groom was not in the pic nor was there a matching groom portrait. We thought that was pretty odd (as did others), but the bride was telling people it's all pretty trendy now. Yeah, whatever... I can understand a portrait of the 2 of them (or separate portraits, if they are kooky about being together in dress before the "big day"), but the bride all by herself in portrait or cake form seems pretty self-serving. Somebody wants no mistakes about whose "big day" it is. The poor guy better prepare himself for a lifetime of serving his princess.
question #2: which part of the cake is she going to save in the freezer for them to eat on their year anniversary?
question #3: considering the topic of the cake, will she and her new hubby even make it to their first wedding anniversary?
question #4: who is she actually marrying here?
Oh, the cake is weird too.
It is her big day, and they've forked out enough money to feed everybody they can think of. If you don't like the ritual, don't go.
I think I'd ask for my money back if I were her. The cake isn't really all that flattering.
and is it me, or is the full frontal section of the dress meant to look like see-thru lace?
bleh
Then, at the wedding, right in the middle of the vows, I'd say, "It just hit me what's missing from our wedding cake, and it's the same thing that's missing from our wedding - the groom!" At that point, walk out and don't return.
If the groom is going to barely be involved in the wedding, then he will probably barely be involved in the marriage.
Just the mere fact that the cake looks JUST LIKE HER, says a lot about the skillful cake-artiste.
