What code would you have on your wedding cake?

Question

I'm getting married on April 4th, 2009. My future wife has agreed to let me have actual code on top of the wedding cake. Woot!

There isn't very much room, four, maybe five lines (it's only a 6" cake because the main cake is a bunch of cupcakes).

Any language is okay, Java, JavaScript, XML.

A lot of the people attending the wedding have coded before, so they'll "get it".

My name is 'Robert' and her name is 'Tiffany', some sort of creative use of those names would be cool.

What code would you have on your wedding cake?

More code cakes (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

Answer 1

Do {
    Have();
    Hold();
} Until (Death == True);

Answer 2

while(isAlive) continue;

Answer 3

(function Marriage (love, happiness)  {
    var life = this.HolyMatrimony({
        husband: "yourname", wife: "hername"
    });
    return life.of(love,happiness);
}).bind(vicor,100,100)()

Answer 4

You can keep it simple also, and just have:

for( ; ; );

I don't even think you need to say more than that. It's simple and gets the point across. :)

Answer 5

if(husband.take(wife) && wife.take(husband)){
  while(!death){
    love();
    honor();
    cherish();
  }
  part();
}

Answer 6

What's a wife ? :)

Pesto:

It's a subclass of girlfriend that has unlimited access to your private members but doesn't make good use of it, hogs all available resources, and spawns child processes that you aren't allowed to kill off.

Answer 7

$self->birth()->age()->die();

Answer 8

Don't have an answer for you wedding cake, but your 40th anniversary cake code should be in Ruby...

Answer 9

Wife Tiffany=new Wife();
Mistress Jenny=new Mistress();
if (! Tiffany.isAround()) Jenny.kiss();
else Tv.watch();

Answer 10

while (!husband.isDead() && !wife.isDead()) {
    try {
        marriage();
    } catch (DisagreementException e) {
        continue;
    }
}

Answer 11

echo "prenup"

Answer 12

if (wife.allowsCodeOnCake)
{
    this(nerd).hasFoundTrueLove = true;
}

Answer 13

double GetBankAccountBalance()
{
   if (isMarried)
   {
      return 0.0;
   }
   else
   {
      return lifeSavings;
   }
}

Answer 14

SELECT wife FROM women WHERE 
  looks='gorgeous' AND idealman LIKE 'Robert%'
UNION
SELECT husband FROM men WHERE
  job='geek' AND loves='Tiffany'

OK, so I've got no idea about SQL, but someone with knowledge must be able to knock something up with the rather appropriate keywords like SELECT, JOIN, UNION, LIKE etc.

Answer 15

void Relationship.doMarriage(Minister aMinister) {
  Bride lBride = (Bride)self.female;
  Groom lGroom = (Groom)self.male; 

  lBride.walkDownAisle(new WeddingMusic("Arrival of the Queen of Sheba"));

  aMinister.BeginService(WeddingService.Traditional);

  try {
    lGroom.makeVows();
    lBride.makeVows();

    lGroom.Rings++;
    lBride.Rings++;

    self.IsMarried = true;

    lGroom.kiss(lBride);
  } finally {
    aMinister.EndService();
  }
}

Or if that's too long:

Relationship.doMarriage() {
      Groom.makeVows();
      Bride.makeVows();

      self.IsMarried = true;
      Groom.kiss(Bride);
   }

Answer 16

private int patienceLevel = 100;
void LiveMarriage()
{
    if (MessageBox.Show("Want to divorce?", "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
        return;

    //keep on trying
    Thread.Sleep(patienceLevel);
    LiveMarriage();
}

The loads of opportunities to avoid a stackoverflow will come under the concept of a divorce (a meta-joke :-)).

Answer 25

// Java-ish pseudocode
public Happiness marriage(husband, wife) {
  while (true) {
    husband.love(wife);
    wife.love(husband);
    if (bedrooms.size() > family.size() && savings > 0) {
       newChild = fork();
       family.add(newChild);
       savings = 0;
    }
  }
}

Answer 26

while(!(death=together))

or

use Marriage;
our $Marriage = Marriage->new(Wife => 'Tiffany', Husband => 'Robert');
do {
   $Marriage;
} until ($death);

Answer 27

public class Girlfriend {
   public virtual bool sex() { return true; }
}

public class Wife : Girlfriend {
   public override bool sex() { return false; }
}

Answer 28

I speak from experience. Good marriage like good code design employs separation of concerns and proper modularity. I therefore suggest a AOP framework like spring:

<beans default-autowire="byName">
    <bean id="Robert" class="husband" singleton="false">
     <constructor-arg name="wife">
      <ref bean="Tiffany" />
     </constructor-arg>
    </bean>
    <bean id="Tiffany" class="wife" singleton="false">
     <constructor-arg name="husband">
      <ref bean="Robert" />
     </constructor-arg>
    </bean>
</beans>

A nice little marital crontab:

Answer 34

class Married extends Dating{

while(death != true){

super.Love()

super.Cherish()

super.Have_and_Hold()

}

I know, I know, bad pseudocode, but it gets the point across (there's no reason those would need to be implemented in Dating but it looked odd otherwise)

Answer 43

no COBOL code? how about some brainfuck? :D

i'd go with a simple java method

public static int howLongIWillLoveYou() {
   int time = 0;    
   while (true) {
     time++;
   }
   return time;
}

cheesy, yes, but it can also be your homage to this site. ^_^

congratulations btw

Answer 52

In Ruby:

>> marriage = Marriage.new :husband_id => params[:robert_id], 
                           :wife_id => params[:tiffany_id]
>> marriage.save

>> marriage.freeze

Answer 53

This one is in Ruby:

puts "Goodbye, Cruel World!"
File.unlink $0

Note: unlink removes the file $0 which is the file of the program being executed.

Answer 54

Your wife is just the coolest!!

    While(true){
RobertLoveToTiffany++;}

Answer 55

Person robert = new Person("Robert");
Person tiffany = new Person("Tiffany");
robert.Heart.BelongsTo(tiffany, new TimeSpan("Always"));

Answer 56

// Variables Robert & Tiffany are integer representations
// of the actual people.
(Robert ^ Tiffany) == uint.MaxValue;

In case you don't get this one it is essentially saying that Tiffany is the perfect complement to Robert.

Answer 57

while(true) Robert.Love(Tiffany);

Answer 58

#include <stdio.h>

Answer 59

If I was you, I would think about what a big, stinky nerd I was being and not go through with this :). Leave coding at home on your wedding day, your wife (and all the guests) will thank you.

Answer 60

Husband h = new Husband("Robert");
Wife w = new Wife("Tiffany");
new Priest().Marry(h, w);
List<Child> children = new List<Child>();
children.Add(h.Reproduce(w));

Answer 61

if(Love())  
  {
  Marriage();
  }

Compiler Error M0001: Love is unconditional.

Answer 62

Or you could have a simple

me++;

Answer 63

make clean

Answer 64

child = 'robert'.toMan.marriage('tiffany'.toWoman)
child.setAge(27).must.makingCake('Roses Are #FF0000.. Violeta..') if child != null

Answer 65

int i, love, u;

for (i=1; i<u ; i++) love=u++;

Obviously it is an infinite love.

Answer 66

Be careful when trying to cast a girlfriend as a wife. There are several interfaces supported by iGirlFriend that aren't supported by iWife.

Answer 67

How about one of the classics, that more people have a chance of recognising / understanding?

10 LOVE
20 GOTO 10

Someone can probably come up with something better for that first line...

Answer 68

$husband = argument ? right : happy

Answer 69

Person robert = new Person();
Person tiffany = new Person();
if( robert.take( tiffany ) && tiffany.take( robert ) ) {
  this.eat()
  while( !( robert.death || tiffany.death ) ) {
    liveHappily( robert, tiffany );
  }
  part( robert, tiffany );
}

Answer 70

using(Health h = Sickness | Healthy)
using(Wealth w = Rich | Poor)
{
    Tiffany.LoveAndCherish(Robert);
    Robert.LoveAndCherish(Tiffany);        
    Robert.Kiss(Tiffany);
}

Answer 71

My future wife has agreed to let me have actual code on top of the wedding cake. Woot!

Robert, do you even realize the full long-term repercussions of accepting such a "permission"? You do understand this will come back to haunt you for the rest of your marriage, right? I would think twice before getting involved with any decisions affecting anything that will/can show up in the wedding video or pictures. :)

Congratulations!

Answer 72

Here's my jQuery version:

$("#altar").bind("vows", function () {
    $("#marriage").append("#Robert").append("#Tiffany");
});

Answer 73

Here's my Java version:

while (death != true) {
    try {
        goodTimes();
        badTimes();
        haveKids();
        growOld();
    }
    catch (ReconcilableException e) {
        makeUp();
        continue;
    }
    catch (UnreconcilableException e) {
        if (counsuling())
            continue;
        else 
            divorce();
    }
}

Yea, it's more than 4 lines.

This is my first time here, and I just happened to come across this site while looking for some kind of creative SQL code to put on my hubby's birthday cake. I know that I'm kind of going off the topic here but, if anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it - there were so many good wedding cake ideas here!
