Wedding Cakes
?It may come as a surprise to most brides that, originally, the wedding cake was not eaten by but thrown at the bride! It developed as one of the many fertility traditions surrounding a wedding. Luckily this custom evolved into actually eating the cake.
Today’s Traditions
? Most people don’t associate the wedding cake with having lots of children anymore, instead the wedding cake has become kind of a first meal for the bride and groom. Today’s couples cut a slice before anyone else and feed it to each other, symbolizing the support they’ll provide through their many years together. In addition, the confections themselves have become a showpiece instead of a symbol – you can get a wedding cake with a fountain in it, pieces of infrastructure (bridges and such), or cakes that you could honestly mistake for a present or a hat or other inanimate objects.

One new wedding “tradition” that I’m not a huge fan of when the bride and groom smash the cake in each others’ face. To me, it’s passive aggressive and just downright silly.
