Melinda forgot to tell Bill about cardboard middle in cake
Melinda, in the video's caption, wrote, "We told you it was time to cut the cake. You thought that meant you needed to cut a slice for everyone."
She added that she later realized that she had forgotten to mention that the cake had a cardboard middle, but she was laughing so hard that she couldn't tell him.
Aren't they cute!

Love story
When Bill first asked Melinda out, she turned him down
Melinda and Bill first met in 1987 at an Expo trade-fair in New York, and Melinda told media she found Bill funnier than she expected.
Months later, when he first asked her out, she said, "Ask when the right time comes."
And, after a few more months, they were head over heels in love with each other.
They got married in 1994 in Hawaii.
