The symbolism is pretty sweet - it’s the first activity you do together as a couple, and feeding each other a small bite symbolizes your commitment to providing and caring for one another. But cutting the cake can become pretty complicated (which tier?!), and not everyone wants pictures of themselves chowing down on dessert!

Are you ditching tradition and cutting out the cake ceremony at your wedding? Or keeping this tradition in? Smiley cake

Back to the beginning: Which wedding traditions are you ditching?

    We’re keeping this one and my lumberjack fiancé is getting into it with a toy chainsaw! Our cake is like an aspen tree.

    We are having a small cake for hubs and I, and almost went with donuts. (Changed my mind last week) now we are having cupcakes. But we will be cutting our cake. I spent 20.00 on the serving set... we better cut it, and in style!

    I definitely want to do this! My absolute favorite picture of my parents from their wedding day was their cake cutting picture, so I know that’s why I’m keeping this tradition.
