The cake.

Ah.

Um.

Where do I start?

So, here is some of the flowers from the displays. Thought you lot would like to see them. I will leave them here.

Ton did such a lovely job of both cakes really. One was for them to cut and another was the groom's cake. He really wanted that one. So … the wedding cake wss white icing with a yellow ribbon, sunflowers hand painted all over the bottom tier it and pearls on the leaves like dew drops. It was spectacular. Three tiers and the middle tier had daisies. The top tier had life-sized sunflowers and daisies made of icing and a little sprig of lavender here and there for his Mama because Rhiannon would have loved that. I know it was kind of Angel to choose a theme that would fit with Ton instead of a pink affair but it ws nice to see Rhiannon represented there too. For Ton.

I was taken with it really.

Then the groom's cake. Well. Ah, that … I wonder sometimes about that boy of min. I really do. I expected it to be a dog or a frog given his history with those. What I did not expect was a bloody surprise cake. Literally. When he cut it, it exploded on the top with bloody streamers flying out, edible confetti and his scream of glee as the bogs raced to clean the floor. Gods, I almost have a fucking heart attack. I hid it well. I tried to laugh it off but I tell ya … I had a moment of panic there.

Then he brought out the cupcakes and everyone was in love. Miniature sunflowers. Daisies … all made by hand and not a single one was the same. Butterflies, one with a lizard for our Babs and even one with a little purple plane in it for Hawk. Little fella is partial to purple. And flying. Loves flying. Of all the kids, he is the one who always wants Jack to swing him about. Fen and Henry take him up sometimes in their choppers just to hear him scream with glee. Hawk too. I know… I'm kidding. Jack doesn't scream, more of a roar while Hawk squeals as well. I have kittens with each swoop.

Well … just came to tell you how it's going over there, I am right pleased with the day so far. Monkey seems to be reasonably well behaved for…. Oh fuck me. No he isn't. Really?

Sorry Heck old man, gotta go sort that one out. Monkey is swinging from the bloody organza again, he will being the entire thing down if he's not careful and … oh. No. It's OK. Babs had scared him, look at him run.

Ianto rose and reached out, kissing the headstone with Hector and Sean's names on it and then turning to kiss the one beside it where Bets and Herb were. All a family together.

He limped back towards the party knowing he would have to bow out soon, going to ask the producers if there was any more shots needed him or Hawk who was almost to the grizzly stage as he wandered about with chocolate cake on his face.
