AJ will sheep up the place when nobody sends anything wakeup-worthy. Acting as my bad self, I post pictures that my mom took. Yeah!

She was the photographer for a wedding a few weeks ago in Toledo, and between the ceremony and the reception, the wedding party just had to stop at their old high school stadium and play a game of pick-up football. I'm being told that after the day was over, the bride and groom cared only about the pictures from this typical jock matrimony tradition. I guess this means at my wedding, there's going to be a Super Smash Brothers Melee marathon, commemorating the last time in my life I will get to make a decision for myself.

How are you doing today? I'm a girl that loves sports.

"We didn't begin with a budget of $50,000 for the cake," the confectionary artist said. "It just grew after we sketched several designs and redesigned the Styrofoam models."

Edible sugar flowers with more than a thousand leaves and petals were painstakingly hand-crafted. Several specialists, including electricians, were hired to light up the crystal globes on the cake with LED lights. Baker also designed the 55-by-55-inch wooden baseboard with experts from Home Depot. A huge hole in the middle accommodated electrical cords running to the cake lights. Steel legs withstood the cake's weight, which was never exactly determined.

I always bring in a team of electricians when I bake.

But that wasn't even the best cake in the room.

The other, was a 100-pound chocolate delight of more than 40 layers in the likeness of Homer Simpson, one of Mayfair's favorite characters.

Mayfair said that the elaborate affair was to symbolize his triumph over testicular cancer in 2006. Hmm, I wonder what they topped the cake with?

Spring and summer weddings are always more ideal for sports fans, because anyone can miss a weekend of baseball or so. But fall? October weddings are the worst, because you miss both the NFL and baseball playoffs, and that's just unacceptable. Some people reall lose their minds about it.

This Sunday comes the inexcusable - the fall afternoon-evening wedding. On a SUNDAY. Others have likely waxed poetic on this topic, so I will not belabor the point. It is simply...and utterly...deflating. I consider myself a hard-working professional. A devoted brother and son. A good boyfriend who now "does activities" on weekends. But a man has limits. After a particularly long week, my desires are simple. If activities must occur, let them take place on Saturday morning and, if imperative, early afternoon. Sunday weddings are very clearly not on the agenda. You have an engagement party and a Saturday wedding to close the deal.

Seriously: A Sunday wedding? These people are obviously not Americans.
