As a bride? As a guest, do you expect to see the couple cutting the cake? We aren't having cake (we're having donuts, the only cake we like is funfetti) and therefore not cutting a cake. My brother, of all people, was outraged that we aren't cutting a cake. In all honest I just saw it as one more thing to take up precious partying time. Now I'm second guessing it. Am I going to regret not taking the traditional route on this one?
