Christmas lights are twinkling all around us as we snap pictures under the tropical trees at Disney’s Polynesian. Then, all of the sudden he is down on one knee and the world stopped. It was like a million butterflies were released into my stomach and I guess into his too since he did not say a word. He just stared up at me with those brown puppy dog eyes holding out the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen. I waited only a moment before exclaiming, “Well aren’t you gonna put it on me?!” In that moment, I forgot my mom and brother were there, capturing the whole thing. I could not stop shaking and when he hugged me, I never wanted him to let go of me. November 28, 2011 will forever be one of the best days of my life.
My fiancé, Robbie, and I met when I moved next door to him in May 2004 in order to go to Ocean City High School. We instantly had a connection and hung out with our little brothers each and every day during the summer.
Robbie and I started going out on February 14, 2005 when we were freshman at Ocean City High School. Just like our engagement, Robbie was so nervous to ask me to be his girlfriend that he chickened out all day and waited until after school. The two of us were on AIM and he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. As soon as I said yes, he abruptly said, “Okay, I have to go to the gym. I love you!” I was shocked when he had said I love you right away, within seconds if him being my boyfriend.
Soon after we started going out Robbie’s parents were separated and divorced a year later. Then, during my senior year, my parents were separated. Soon after, Robbie and I went to two different colleges. Through it all we managed to get stronger and closer with each hardship. Freshman year of college was rough, but I managed to go home most weekends just to see Robbie. He always had the ability to make my day and allow me to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Now, we are finally finishing up with college, we have our own puppy, and we live with my mom. Robbie and I are excited to start this new chapter in our lives. Robbie is more excited about after the wedding, however, being a lifelong planner, I have dreamed about this wedding my entire life. I hope to be a princess on my wedding day. Robbie has always been so strong for me and I want to give back to him by making our wedding as memorable as possible.
On June 28, 2014 (twenty-eight is my lucky number and fourteen is Robbie’s) we will be getting married at our local church with a reception to follow at Abbie Holme’s Estate, an old farmhouse near our home. This venue is perfect for us because we are not the traditional banquet hall ballroom type. The farmhouse has a plain but beautiful atrium where dinner and dancing will be held. Our theme is elegant country chic with hints of princess, Disney, and Harry Potter. I hope to have my guests feel like they are outside when they walk into the atrium. There will be flower, lanterns, candles, and Manzanita branches everywhere!! The ceiling will hopefully look like a beautiful, star-lit sky.
The princess aspect of the theme comes in especially with my dress. I bought my dress about two months ago from David’s Bridal with my mother and family friend. We went in just to have fun, not to buy dresses. However, I fell in love with the dress and could not imagine seeing myself in anything else. I even bought a matching flower to go in my hair, also from David’s Bridal.
I believe food is a huge part of having a memorable wedding. The food should be flavorful and unique. I will be incorporating my creative touch into the dessert table since my venue is primarily catering, not desserts. I hope to have different live stations, like a nitrogen ice cream bar and fresh donuts. However, the cake is extremely important to Robbie. Therefore, I need to make it perfect and it will be the showcase piece on the dessert table.
My dream wedding cake would have a The Younique Boutique fully customized cake topper. I want it to have everything from my exact dress that is pictured above, his suit/tux color, and my hairstyle. The probable hairstyle is pictured below from the blog, Style Me Pretty. However, since the wedding is two years away this may change. The position is the easiest thing to decide. Since, my favorite place to be is embraced in Robbie’s arms, the figurines would be positioned like picture on the right found on the blog, Style Me Pretty. I believe this pose is so romantic and full of love. I love how the bride and groom are staring into each other’s eyes. The cake will be based on the cake below from The Knot website. However, there will be one more layer on top. On the top layer, it will read, “Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite.” To go along with this quote, there would be Jim Shore, Disney Prince and Princess figures on the table all around the cake. The theme of this cake would not be perfect without a customized cake topper of Robbie and I from The Younique Boutique. Not only will it make a great wedding cake topper, but also I look forward to showcasing it in Robbie and my future home.
Thank you to Katie and her fiance for submitting their love story essay entrant in our Win a Custom Wedding Cake Topper contest. Katie’s fiance is an enrolled Army soldier and will be wearing his Army dress uniform at their wedding. Katie would have the bride wearing a Philadelphia Phillies jersey and waving an American flag. The Younique Boutique specializes in custom military wedding cake toppers so this is just perfect.

My fiancé and I have been together for six years and he still gives me butterflies after all this time. We started dating when I was a freshmen and he was a junior in high school, so he is definitely my high school sweetheart. He joined the Army National Guard when he was 17 and he had to leave for Basic Combat Training and his Advanced Individual Training on his birthday after he graduated. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do- saying goodbye. It was a very long nine weeks communicating just through letters then graduation came. He vowed to never get me roses but on our two year anniversary while he was in boot camp, a dozen roses showed up at my door and a love letter from him. I never knew you could fall even more in love being over 900 miles away from each other. His Advanced Individual Training was four months. It was rough. I was at our high school district track meet the day he came home, and when we pulled into the parking lot, I saw his dad’s car and I starting crying. The coaches let me off the bus first to finally be able to hug him after all that time. It was one of the happiest days of my life.
Christmas Eve 2010 came along and his sister-in-law made him and his brother wear their Army dress uniforms for Christmas mass. He was not happy about that but he did anyway. I had to go last for secret Santa after mass and his cousin gave me this wrapped box. It was taped closed and I couldn’t get it open. When I opened it, it was a ring. My fiancé got down on one knee in his Class A’s and said, “Katie Rose will you marry me?” 
He was always a Phillies fan and I never got into watching them but once he was gone, I had to watch the games for him. I am now a huge Phillies fan. We go to a few games a year and have such a fun time. We are planning our wedding for July 4th, 2014. We are having a red, white and blue theme. We picked that date since its Independence Day with him being in the army and can also throw in the Phillies since their colors are the same. Plus it’s an easy date for my fiancé to remember. Our ceremony will be at his catholic church in Easton, PA then our reception is at the Masonic Temple in Bethlehem, PA and the Sands casino is right across the street. Every 4th of July the casino shoots off fireworks so we get free fireworks to end off the night and to go out with a bang!
For the cake topper, I would the groom to be in his dress greens uniform with his beret and the bride to have a wedding dress with a Phillies jersey, with “HUNSICKER” on the back with number 18, on top like in the sports theme cake toppers on the website with her holding an American flag flying in her other hand. The bride and groom will be holding hands. That is why I chose this idea for the wedding topper.

So our story begins my freshman year at WCU. Luke and I met thorough mutual friends and it was just fate! I was going through a really rough time and Luke was my best friend throughout the entire ordeal. It was then that I realized I loved him and was going to marry him someday. So of course eventually we started dating and we just grew closer and closer.
He is the best friend I have ever had and I could not imagine life without him. Our engagement story was a pretty awesome one too, he really did put a lot of thought into it and it was amazing!
So the place that I first accepted Christ was beneath the cross at Lake Junaluska in Waynesville, NC. I told Luke this a long time ago. So the day started that my girls(Brittany and Taylor) and I were having a girls day in Asheville, NC and our significant others were going to have a guys day and go to Jack In the Box and get the new bacon milkshakes.
Well Brittany had also asked Taylor and I if we could stop and see her family from Canada that were visiting near Lake Junaluska. We of course said yes and she then told us we had to dress up because it was a country club and we would not be let in if we were not dressed up. Well on our way back from Asheville we stopped and she told me that she thought their house was near the cross at Lake Junaluska so I told her how to get there since I had been there before.
As we pulled up to the cross I saw Luke Jeff and Josh and was SUPER confused. Everyone was so dressed up and I did not know what was going on. I went up to Luke and he said that we were going to take some pictures since we were all dressed up, then he said we were going to dance. At that time Brittany and Jeff started playing Luke’s arrangement (he is a music major and he arranged the song for trumpet) of “our song” which is Lucky.
Then he told me to turn around after we were done dancing. He came back and tapped me on the shoulder and had roses in his hand. Inside the roses was the ring 
He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him in the same spot I accepted Christ. I of course said yes and then Jeff and Brittany started playing Luke’s arrangement of Can You Feel the Love Tonight! It meant the world to me and him that all of our friends were involved in the proposal.
Luke and I want to have the wedding outdoors at this venue that has like a 3 floored gazebo and pavilion! It is in the shape of a cross and it is AMAZING. We plan on having the cake table in the middle of the reception. We are going to have the colors purple and blue and the date is May 25, 2013.
We are so excited and are really looking forward to sharing this great time with all of our friends and family. We plan on having a huge cake because there will be a lot of people there! It is really important to us to have a wedding cake topper that is unique to us because we plan on having it put into a memory box to have as a keepsake.
For our topper we want to have a guy that has long blonde hair playing a guitar and a girl that has dark brown hair watching him in awe with a nursing book beside her. I am in nursing school and he is always playing his guitar while I’m studying to keep me calm. We would also like to have a cross and WCU incorporated into the topper as well. If it is possible we would also like to have “Lucky I’m In Love With My Best Friend” written around the bottom!
Thank you to Christina and Stelios for their essay submission to win a fully custom wedding cake topper. Stelios is a die-hard soccer fan so Christina thinks it would be awesome to have the groom figure wearing an AEK soccer jersey and the bride figure looking slightly annoyed but mostly loving.

The last thing we ever thought possible, is finding eachother at an international hospitality school in Luzern, Switzerland. It was only the second day at the school, when the ‘Americans’ were huddled around in the lobby waiting to eat at the dining hall. It was almost like the crowd opened up just for us, only to reveal one another. There was this dark handsome Greek guy who approached me and said ‘Hello! How are you. I am Stelios!’. I was taken aback a bit, because he was so forward, but definitely intriguing. I think I started smiling right there and then and I haven’t stopped since. He asked me out to dinner that night, a few times actually… before I said ok.
I would often find myself wandering the halls in-between classes hoping we would meet around a corner, or I could catch a glimpse of him inside a classroom. By week two, we were inseparable. Not only did we see a lot of Europe during our educational programs, but we did it together! We drove to Paris, Monaco and Nice on different weekends. Another time we took a train to Luxembourg, and met in Greece for the Easter holiday. These three months were like a dream, but we knew it wasn’t going to last forever.
At the end of May, Stelios had to return back to Greece and I back to America. He wouldn’t even be able to come see me because he had to apply for an entry visa, which would take months. Leaving him at the airport was awful; not knowing when we would see eachother again. If only I knew then what I know now. Thankfully though, I was able to meet him in Mykonos that summer and twice again in the fall by flying to London and Belgium. An expensive courtship for sure, but well worth it! Flying to Europe for our romantic weekends was the only way we could be together. After meeting him, all my days alone were never the same unless I had him next to me.
One faithful day in January though, we got the good news that he would be able to fly to Boston and work for some time, and since that day we’ve never had to be apart. He proposed to me the next summer during a trip to Santorini. Being an excited bride, I made wedding plans and bought my dress, not knowing I was pregnant with our first child Nadia! So afterwards I thought ‘Ok, we’ll wait awhile and set another date’. Then I became pregnant with our second child Niko! Now we plan to finally get married September 16th 2012 in Saronida Greece… not just to celebrate our love, but the family and life we’ve now made together as well.
When I met my Greek husband-to-be Stelios, he was and always will be a die-hard AEK soccer fanatic! Born and raised in Athens, Greece by parents who were from Constantinople, he would always go on and on about how AEK is not just a game, but an idea and way of life! Okay, not being a sports fan what-so-ever, I didn’t care. BUT if he cared, then I wanted to care. I continue to listen to his stories for years about his trips to Sweden, Denmark and Russia to see certain AEK games and travel with the team to many Greek cities. I spent hours looking through albums of his stadium pictures, and even reluctantly let him put a giant AEK flag on our bedroom wall. When he proposed to me, he said that I will always come first in his life, and AEK second… therefore I think it would be quite befitting to surprise Stelios with a custom AEK-themed wedding cake topper of us on our wedding day! I know it will be something he wouldn’t expect, love, and cherish behind a closed glass cabinet with the rest of his memorabilia forever. My idea is to have his model dressed in a black and yellow AEK soccer uniform jersey, complete with black shorts and knee-length socks and yellow athletic shoes. The back of the jersey would be all black, and written in yellow letters “CHRISTIDIS 21″. His arms and hands would be up ready to cheer a traditional AEK song (sort of as if he was creating the Y in the Y-M-C-A song) and me next to him dressed in my wedding gown giving him an annoyed but loving look with my hands on my hips. This surprise would take-the-cake (no pun intended!) during the reception hands-down. All of my American friends and family would love it, as well as his Greek friends and family.
I suppose you could pick just any old cake topper but why not create something completely unique like our customers Jimi and Trisha did? Jimi and Trisha are a bi-racial couple and not only did they have a hard time finding a cake topper that reflected the way they look (he’s Caucasian and she’s African American), Trisha decided on an unusual silver gown instead of traditional white or ivory.
Jimi and Trisha selected from our standard interchangeable Classic Wedding Cake Topper figurines. We designed the line to work for just about any style attire and since we paint the figures to your exact specifications, adding the silver tie for Jimi’s groom and the silver for Trisha’s gown with the white floral details was no additional cost.
Thank you to Kevin and Kerry for your submission in our Win a Fully Custom Wedding Cake Topper essay contest.
Kevin and I have been together for 6 years since this past Valentine’s Day. It was on this Valentine’s Day that we became engaged and excited to share the rest of our lives together.
We have known each other all of our lives. We grew up on Long Island and attended elementary school and high school as friends. We then entered Iona College together, whichis where we became best friends and fell in love. We now plan on marrying each other.
Kevin and I know that we are soul mates. We would love the opportunity to win one of your beautiful cake toppers though this contest. We are a fun loving couple who work together because of our relaxed and quirky personalities. Please help us to display
our love for one another through this cake topper.
We are attaching a photo of ourselves to see what we look like. We have a wedding date set for 11/27/13, so we have not selected attire yet. We can update this closer to June when the contest ends and we have a better idea.
Our wedding will be on Long Island at Jericho Terrace. It was important for us to go “back home” for our wedding. We would like our topper to be fun… yet relaxed.Kevin could be holding his tux jacket slung over his shoulder displaying a NY Giants jersey on his chest,
(Preferably with a number 10 on the Jersey and the back reading “Manning” for his favorite player). I would like to be in a wedding dress holding his other hand.
We would also love to have our pug Mo on the topper. He could be sitting up on all fours holding a sign in his mouth. I would love it if the sign could say Hope on it, as this will be our last name. To put a little twist on Hope I would like it to look like the Love
sculpture found in New York City. (Only instead of saying “love” saying “hope”.) This Hope logo will be seen throughout the wedding and having it on the topper would “take the cake.” (Sorry there’s Kerry with her quirky jokes ha-ha.) Please pick us for the cake topper contest.
