ANOTHER CAKE IN THE BASEMENT WEDDING



You normally would not go, but the bride and/or groom are friends, relatives, or have photos of you that will eliminate you from filing for dog-catcher,   Since you must give up your commitment to class, use this score sheet to have a little fun and rate the event.  Higher scores indicate level of tackiness.
