So on Etsy, I noticed these wine labels you can put on gift wine for wedding gifts where you are supposed to drink the wine for various marriage milestones. I noticed one of them is "first baby" which I don't know about you, but that just seems like a bad idea because what if later the couple turns out to be infertile or otherwise turn out can't/not want to have kids for whatever reason? It just sounds like a recipe for failure if that happens.

Infact, British people, correct me if I am wrong, but I heard of this old tradition where you save cake until your baby's first christening which just sounds... disgusting especially since it can take way longer to have a baby than a year and not every couple is ready to have one right when they get married for many reasons. I know in the US the tradition is save the top of the cake for the anniversary which seems a little more reasonable and bakeries do show you how to store it.
I admit, I am curious how our wedding cake will taste this coming April. My cousins who have gotten married have said theirs stored well and tasted not half bad, but still, that tradition originally came from when wedding cakes were more fruit-cakey, but at the same time, freezers weren't really much of a thing I don't think. Oh well, what is the worst that can happen?
What do you guys think about storing and eating your wedding cake on your first anniversary?
