Their Cake Was A "Shore" Thing!

As anyone preparing for their nuptials can tell you, weddings are expensive! So Angel, who tied the knot in September of 2005, found a creative way to save some money — and put a personal touch on the special day. "Working on a limited budget, it was great to have friends and family willing to help," says the Richmond, Va., native. "A good friend of my fiancé's family, who is very creative, offered to make a cake tailored to our wedding. The flowers reflected summer colors we both really liked. On the sides were his and hers beach chairs with bags, a radio, towels and sandals. The top tier is sprinkled with grass colored coconuts and topped with a couple playing volleyball on a brown sugar 'sand' court."
