We don’t have a wedding cake yet. But we already have a caketopper!

But first, a bit about our love story:

D and I first met in cyberspace. I was waiting for my new computer to be installed in my room. I was bored. I had nothing to do so I decided to log in a chatroom. D, according to him, was playing an online game and got tired and decided to log in a chatroom. My nick was Shinta. He was intrigued as it sounded something familiar. And the rest, as we all know, is history.

Shinta was taken from my favorite Anime series, Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin). Like me, D also loves Anime, that’s why the name sounded familiar to him. Our fondness for Anime is one of the many interests that we share in common and somehow helped ease out the transition from being strangers to being lovers.

When I was thinking of a perfect caketopper that will reflect something about us, nothing came close to being suitable as Kenshin and Kaoru of the Samurai X fame.

In many ways, we are like Kenshin and Kaoru. I, stubborn and strong-willed. D, would fight for the values he believes in.  And they both love each other very much and would go to any lengths to support one another. I believe our love is very much like that. And Shinta is Kenshin’s real name before he became the famous Battosai. Shinta represents our lives before we knew each other.

Note: This might not be the actual caketopper. D wants a funnier version of Kenshin and Kaoru and he’s still looking for it. If he doesn’t find any, then we’ll settle for this one. Either way, I love that we’ll have Kenshin and Kaoru atop our wedding cake.
