No wedding cake smashing – do sexy knife licking instead!

Knife licking is way sexier than cake smashing, as seriously evidenced by this sexy shot from Scotia and Kyle’s Celtic viking pirate punk wedding. Delicious innuendo, how we heart thee. It’s appropriate that I’m categorizing this as “Food Porn.”

In the case of a sexless marriage…

But the question is continually posed, “If you don’t like sex, why marry the guy? (And why would he want to marry you?)”
