A Kraftwerkian Wedding, Complete with Synth Cake

via the Tampa Bay Times where you'll find more pics and the write-up. No mention of the synth case or synths though.

"David Sanborn reads his vows to Jennifer Huber during their Kraftwerk themed wedding on Wednesday January 4, 2016 at Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe in Seminole Heights. Kraftwerk is a German electronic music band that was formed in 1970 in Dusseldorf. MONICA HERNDON | Times"

How cool is that?!

As you can see below, the synth cake was a white ARP Oddyssey.

P.S., there have only been two previous synth related wedding posts. Unfortunately the video for one is missing.

#SYNTH BIKE 3.0 THE #EXCERSISE BIKE FOR THE MUSICIAN

Published on Jun 22, 2017 LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER

"This bike was built for Science Gallery Dublin, where you can actually ride it right now till september!

Its primary goal was to be useable by anyone. The last synth bike was very cryptic, it had more functions but was hard to understand! This is a synth bike for everyone.

Its an analog synth, and a drum machine all built into a groove box on handlebars. It consists of 12 arduinos! The synth is An oscillator going into a frequency central VCF VCA, and also being quantized and octaved by a Frequency central TRANS EUROPA. there is a wav trigger holding all of the drums! and the power supplies are FREQUENCY CENTRAL also. its a proper spaghetti junction!

"A walk-through of the Yamaha CS-60, with a lot of improvised noodling along the way. This is my first 'walk-through' video, and probably my last. It's pretty rough and clumsy, but I think the beauty of the synth comes through."
