WEDDING CAKE-IN-THE-MIDDLE-OF-THE ROAD


Beautiful cakes are a welcome treat in any reception because they are natural attention getters. Wedding cakes are elaborate constructions, each standing for a particular marriage and each used in the wedding that establishes it. The link between cake and wedding, the distinctiveness of its form, its derived uses, and the meanings attached to it, have all been most complexly and influentially developed around the world.

The cake indeed is a prime component of the white wedding in society today. Traditionally, wedding cakes were made to bring good luck to all guests and the couple. Modernly however, they are more of a centerpiece at the wedding and are not always even served to the guests.

So what happened that the cake landed in the middle of the road? Did the couple allow the pressure of work, taking the kids to school; life itself, etc. drive them apart? We need to take stock of what we have continually. You married and your partner meant something the day you both shared that cake at the reception, otherwise you would still be single.

Let’s not give up on what is important and valuable, so easily, unless the pain is unbearable!  

Whatever you don’t maintain, will deteriorate
