Whether you decide to go with a traditional tiered beauty with white icing, a stand with dozens of different kinds of cupcakes or the latest trend of cake pops, your cake should be the centrepiece of your wedding reception, creating a reaction of wonder and awe in your guests and tasting just as good as it looks. The wedding cake has been of major importance to nuptials since 600BC in Ancient Rome, where legend has it that bread was broken over the brides head as a symbol of good luck. It is unlikely that you’ll see this custom repeated in the modern era, but it highlights that a form of the tradition has survived over 2500 years, and is now more popular than ever. The wedding cake can be a subtle or grand affair, and through time the likes of Royalty and the French have used cakes as a symbol of their wealth and greatness, with the wedding cake of Queen Victoria rumoured to be 3 yards in circumference and weighing 300lbs. Now that’s how to celebrate a wedding.

It Don’t Mean a Thing without a Ring : Research
06/15/2012Living arrangements and relationships have changed a lot over the past 50 years. 50 or 60 years ago, a young man or woman lived with his or her parents until the day that he or she got married. Then they would live with their spouse until the day that they died. That was it. These days things are quite different. The average American moves 11 times over the course of their life.
