DIY Cake Topper

I won't get married for atleast 2-5years (hopefully 3) but i figure i'll save them most money if i start planing early. I've started practicing making wire letters for bridesmaid's wire hangers. Here's an example of a finished name, she won't be one of my bridesmaids but one of my friends who's going away for an internship, i made it for her to hang on her door.

but what i really wanted to make the most was my cake topper. I've been looking around for ideas and i absolutely loved the custom ones where you can personalize it to look like your face. Problem is, they can go upwards to $100 up to $300!!! I decided to tackle it myself.
My first attempt to make D took me 4 hours and i hated it so i tore it all apart and started over. At first i wanted to make something like this since we met at the gym.
But i was terrible with making faces and heads so i decided to making a chibi/cartoon version of this

Here's some progress pictures

I wanted his arm around me but the shoulders are too skinny so i might make them so that they're holding hands. I'm really glad with my job with the bride (me) but i hope the rest turns out okay!
