The wedding cake

Where it is? I have not found it yet. I need to photograph it before the cut. It is stashed away because of the figures. I do not know where it is. Oh man, I forgot the cake, I need to see where it is.

Those are some adventures regarding the wedding cake. The last offer from the bride and groom to their beloved guests before leaving for the honeymoon. At least it was like that in the old tradition. Anyway, the cut of the cake is, usually, one of the last parts of the long day that involves all the guests that during the day were part of the various activities and close symbolically the great party.

Thanking the guests with the bride’s cake

So, the wedding photographer must dedicate some of his time and knowledge to the wedding cake. During the day all the guests delivered their attention to the bride and groom and now, through the cake, they give themselves to each of their guests, being thankful for the presence and the affection.
