Strrangest Wedding Traditions
My mother just told me about wedding cake traditions when she was young in Canada.
Wedding cakes in Canada in the 60s & 70s were Fruit Cakes (those things you don't want at Xmas). The bottom layer was fruit cake, the top two layers were faux cake entirely for looks. The bride and groom were the only ones that had any cake at the reception. The rest of the cake was cut up and put in a doily to give to the guests to take home, single girls would put that doily wrapped cake under their pillow that night to get a husband.
Wow.
Also - Eww.
