With great style, like everything they do, Mark and James decorated the
table of the tiny kitschy restaurant with pink tablecloths, Big City Little
Sweets Cakes Pops, especially made to match the color scheme of their
apartment, elephants held the name cards which were all decorated with bling
and a copy of the magazine was tied with Moroccan napkin wire holders.
