cake is the meaning of weddings !
Ah, now I understand where the rest of us are going wrong. Whereas I'd always thought weddings were to register, witness and celebrate publicly the commitment of two people to each other, they are apparently designed merely to reward enforced absence from ballet with a consolatory stuff-fest of frankly unhealthy over-consumption. Now let me see, who was it that was criticising greed recently...? |

LB, you`d better make the most of these cake consuming exercises because when we all stop breeding and die off, the cake tin will be empty.

Ho!
A Wedding Cake
If memory's food alone would ever do
to satisfy the appetites of love,
we'd simply eat our cake and have it too.
We had a thought, to send away with you
a slice of nuptial torte, so you might have
memorable food that all alone would do
to keep that chat with Pal, the dance with Stew
in lasting mind. What were we thinking of?
You cannot eat your cake, and have it too.
Think sticky pulp, cream icing, doily-shoe
tied with a ribbon, rainbowed white and mauve.
Remembering the food, alone, would do!
But it's gone the very moment you are through,
and nothing left to put away, nor prove
that you could eat your cake and have it too.
Take this instead--upon our word--in lieu
of the vanished crumb. Let its hunger give
to the memory-feast alone its lasting due,
and love will eat its cake. Have it too. (Jeffery Donaldson)

I and nephews are off to the wedding soon, we have a plan for this evenings buffet. We will start with cake, while others eating sarnies and sausages on sticks.
Mightn't that put the dampers on the cake-cutting ceremony, M'Lord?  |

Baz, I think you`ll find that Byron merely got carried away with the cake aspect of such a ritual, since it is clearly close to his stomach today. Don`t think weddings have much to do with cake. But that`s just me.  |

Aaarrrgh! I was not aware that dear Tryphosa was soon to be "caked". I take it ill that I was not informed sooner of this important event, particularly after all we have been to each other. Is the venue to be Dundee or Genoa? If anybody has full details I should be obliged to hear them as I am loathe to contact the Humdingers personally due to their surrounding olfactory unpleasantness.
Thankyou.

S`wave, I have heard on the grapevine that the `caking` is to take place at a secret location in Madiera. Sadly, I have been unable to extract any further information other than there will a Guard of Honour comprising of the 5th Regiment of Marmite soldiers. However, I strongly suspect that the honeymoon will be in the vicinity of Scone, but don`t tell anyone I said that.

S'wave,
Good to hear from you again. Mort's posting is illumination indeed, but I feel I ought to let you know that the catering is by the Italians Mars e Pan and the music is from the Japanese lady I-Sing. Not one to be missed.
