For the need of Cake??

Veronica and I have been noticing recently, that we often receive the same question regarding marriage.

When people discover that we are getting married, often there is one question that emerges from their mouths. You'd expect it to be, "so when is your date?" or "has the bride gotten the dress yet?" But not a chance. Instead think of the least important aspect of the wedding. Ah... getting warmer. No think of something consumable.

That's right!

"Do you have your wedding cake picked out yet?"

The CAKE??? What is the relevance of a cake. I can't even find a reason for any form of symbolism other than for reason of an anniversary celebration. It is a consumable, tucked away into a corner of the hall, and has only a one minute spotlight time slot in most weddings!

We continue to be dumb-founded at what society sees in the importance of the cake! Any ideas?
