Oct 28 07 I will be married a year to a wonderful man. But I need to know something. IS IT TRUE OR FALSE THAT the top of your cake from your wedding you should keep and eat with your husband/wife on your 1year anniversary? And if you dont eat it than that means that your marriage wont last? and that it will bring your marriage bad luck if the two of you dont eat it together? why im asking is because our top cake is at my husbands parents house and we are not talking to them and so there is no way of us getting this cake. Is there anything else we can do to have good luck threw our marriage (this question is from a pennsylvania girl USA) i dont know if this matters or not of where I am from. HOPE you people can help on this question

It's just a tradition. My husband and I vomited a little at the thought of eating a frozen for a year wedding cake. We took the top layer with us on our honeymoon and ate it all. *lol*
I don't believe in "luck" in a marriage. I believe in trust, honesty, love, romance, communication, faithfulness, sticking by each other through the good and the bad. Basically, I took our vows (which we wrote ourselves) to heart and apply them to our marriage, as does our husband. Luck and rituals have nothing to do with it.

Had to laugh. I very carefully wrapped the top of my daughters wedding cake last June 06 when she got married. I bought a special container to keep it in so that it would be edible in a year, this past June. In August they bought their first house and moved in, and in Oct(a year ago this past weekend) he hooked up with the love of his life, who was not my daughter. The divorce was final a week ago. He not only broke up their marriage, but the girl he cheated with was engaged and that engagement ended as well. They didn't last more than a few months either.
The wedding cake top, which survived the move was ruined when my daughter accidentally left the freezer door open over a weekend and she had to throw everything away. Just as well.
I suggest you buy a nice cake to celebrate your 1st year anniversary. The success of your marriage is going to be based on how hard you work at it, how much respect you have for each other and how you handle what life throws your way. Don't worry about superstition, just be happy that you are so blessed. Congratulations on your 1st anniversary, hope you have a 100 more.

I ate my ckae on my 1 year anniversary and I had bad luck with my marriage I am getting a divorce now after 4 years !!
I dont think you should believe in those kinda of things and if you do just ask someone to get the cake for you like an in-law or a friend or even your husband !!
Just be happy thats good luck !!

Sweetie I married the same man twice, waited till our first anniversary and ate that stupid cake, (completely nasty and freezer burnt by the way) and I got divorced both times. When my husband now and I got married we had a simple cake ate what we wanted at the reception, and threw the rest away. We have been happily married for over 2 years now and have never had so much as a cross word. That is simnply and old wives tale. If you want to have good luck in your marriage then here are the simplest ways. 1. Love each other with every breath in your body. 2. Never go to bed angry at each other. 3. Trust each other completely. 4. Give your marriage and your lives to God and let him help you through the hard times. And last remember that you married each other not everyone else in the families. Good luck and Happy Anniversary, may you have many more to come.

Advise from another PA girl .... first of all ... This tradition of keeping the top layer for anniversary eating first came into vogue when the wedding cakes that were served were an extremely alcoholic fruit cake, helping the cake last 365 days in a freezer!
As for it being bad luck not eating your cake on your 1st anniversary, a marriage is what you put in to it, not what you eat. As long as you put love, understanding, compromise, trust and honesty into your relationship, your marriage will stand the test of time. My husband and I were married in Italy while he was on R&R and we had no wedding cake to put in the freezer. He was again deployed for our first year anniversary, so even if we had a cake, it wouldn't have gotten ate. This past September we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary and are still going strong!

That is just a superstition! A piece of cake is NOT going to determine if you marriage is going to turn out good or not. It's the people IN the marriage who are the ones who make it work or not work. Why don't you just go to the store & buy a little cake for two. You can find them in your local grocery stores. Make that your symbol of your wedding cake & just enjoy it, BUT most of all, enjoy being together, having the same love you had one yr. ago plus how much stronger it is today. Like w/most things, it's what's INSIDE that counts, everything else is just a symbol or show. You can make anything be your "symbol". Happy Anniversary and MANY MANY more...(^_^)

Don't let this stop you from having a great anniversary.
Honestly, eating the top of the cake was an afterthought for us...we did eat it, but mostly gave it to the kids to eat.lol.
Your marriage is about alot more than the cake!
And superstition and lucky charms have nothing to do with a good healthy relationship with your husband.
Start a new tradition, just for you and your husband. It will have more meaning for both of you for years to come.

How cool is that I LOVE cupcakes I wish I had cupcakes instead of cakes that is wonderful. I saw a wedding being put together I was on a retreat and in the hotel they were setting up for a wedding and I saw a beautiful array of cupcakes and I asked about it ( I was married a few years already) but I wished I could have done something unique like that the cupcakes were done becauifully and there were icing shaped flowers. Go for it enjoy yourselfe4g

False. Eating the wedding cake top on your 1st anniversary does not guarantee a long and happy marriage. Mutual respect, love, and commitment do. Get a small cake from a bakery, decorated similar to your wedding cake, and celebrate your 1st anniversary with it. And try to make-up with the in-laws, they will come in handy as grandparents when your kids start coming!

that is usally how it goes, but just because you guys aren't going to eat it doesn't mean that it will bring you bad luck. your marriage isn't based on cake lol. you should buy or bake a cake for your 1 year anniversary in place of that :) obviously won't be the same, but at least it's still something.
