My friends' wedding was featured on Cake Wrecks last year. I think he sent in the picture! It was a pretty funny cake, and tasty too!

Speaking of cakes with columns, I hit the flowergirl circuit pretty hard back in the early 80s. During one wedding, the tallest groomsman, who was the escort of my aunt, fainted during the ceremony and rolled down the steps of the chapel. My aunt took me and we walked up the aisle together afterwards. The groomsman ended up being fine.

It comes to pass that they had a whole scene involving the bridal party figurines walking down stairs. It was, needless to say, a very elaborate cake. My aunt took one of the male figurines and was like, "hey, D! It's you!," and re-created the fainting down the stairs. 25 years later, I still get a good laugh about that one.

One of my sisters was married in a church without air conditioning. One of her bridesmaids fainted, knocked down the American flag, the pole of which hit another bridesmaid smack dab in the face. The person next to me said, "I've been wanting to do that for years!"

I had a cousin who got married in a church with no air conditioning and one of the groom's men passed out
