I am the editor that Gailen referred to in her Car Projects and Other Small Commitments post… I received her handmade wee folk on top of my surprise wedding cake at my surprise reception that was thrown by C&T for my husband and I. (We eloped, so, not being able to join in the festivities, C&T had their own surprise party for us. How rad is that?!)

Because it was a surprise, I didn’t know to tell Gailen that my sweetie had grown a beard since the last time she’d seen him, so the wee groom was clean shaven.

Clean-shaven groom

So as soon as we walked in the door to our surprise party, I saw Gailen scurry off… apparently to make a quick last minute adjustment to the wee groom sitting atop the cake.

... a last-minute fix

So in a flash, the wee groom looked exactly like my husband. (Well, except for the tux and top hat.)

The finished result... he will call him "Mini Me"
