Wedding Cake
Eating your wedding cake is part of a traditional ceremony that includes cake cutting. To cut the cake is a piece of cake but it symbolises the start of the newly weds life together.
Superstition requires the bride to cut the first piece of cake with the groom placing his right hand over the bride’s to guide it for the initial slice. The knife used by the bride is always new and usually purchased as a wedding gift to the bride. Next, the groom feeds the bride, and then she in turn feeds him while they pose shyly for photographs and video cams. The shared slice of cake represents their first meal together as husband and wife.
Champagne Pouring
The champagne represents happiness and the couple's happiness on their wedding day will overflow onto their guests and future generations.
