I'm not sure about this cake topper...?

My fiance and I are having a beach themed wedding (we got engaged on Martha's Vineyard on the beach). The cake is going to be three tiered with chocolate and white chocolate seashells and coral and seahorses on them in our wedding color, which is fuchsia. My fiance and I have talked about doing a cake topper with the Ariel (The Little Mermaid) and Prince Eric on it...but not the one in their wedding gear, one of Prince Eric carrying areil while she is a mermaid.


Background. 1) The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie and all my childhood, into High School, I collected Disney movies 2) My fiance knows I love the Little Mermaid, we we are super dorky when we go to the ocean and we "play" the Little Mermaid, where he throws me into an on-coming wave to jump through it (so silly, i know, but its fun! :)


I hestitate because some people may not make the connection as to why that is our topper, esp. since I don't have red hair. What do you think?

I think that is a really good idea! Something to make your cake unique and a good story to tell people.





We had two penguins dressed as a bride and groom for our cake topper. The reason behind it is that I am originally from South Africa and we have penguins on our beaches there. When we first started dating and I told my husband that we have penguins he didn't believe me because there was no ice. It became a huge joke with us and therefore we decided to have penguins. We had the DJ explain this while we were cutting the cake so all of our guests could share in the joke.





You can decide if you want to share the story behind Ariel and Eric or just keep it between the 2 of you.

Reply:That is a very unique idea. People don't have to understand your wedding topper. It's your day and you get to do what you want! If they really want to know the story behind it, then they would ask, right? Anyway, I say go for it.
