Dumb Traditions

I've always heard that you're supposed to save the top layer of your wedding cake, freeze it, and then eat it on your one year anniversary. So Drew and I did just that, but we had to keep the cake in my parents freezer since there really was no good way to transport it to NC without ruining it. When we were home a few weeks ago, we decided to eat the cake a little early since we don't have any plans on going home until the holidays.

We're not superstitious, so eating the cake around our 10th month anniversary didn't bother us. We're fairly confident that we'll make it to our one year, but we both agreed, along with both of our families that this is one dumb tradition. Once the cake thawed, the frosting basically melted away from the cake and when everyone tried a piece, it tasted truly awful (I hope it was better on our wedding day...I don't think I ate a piece other than the small bite we fed each other). Within 5 minutes everyone had a stomach ache including Darby, the Shepard's family dog, who stole a bite off the counter!!


Anyways, here's to traditions, the old ones, the new ones, the tried ones, the true ones, and....the dumb ones!!!
