She played the "I'll be embarassed when someone asks where the groom's cake is" card. There will apparently be a groom's cake. I'm not totally sold, but... *sigh* And why is it called a "groom's cake" when all I get to do is give it to other people? Yeah, I’m a sucker.

I hope these links help to answer your questions about the function of the Groom's Cake in modern weddings (Southern or otherwise). I was not aware of the more superstitious aspects of this cake, but apparently you are doing a disservice to the spinsters of the world if you choose not to have one. :) http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art28010.asp http://www.hudsonvalleyweddings.com/guide/g-cake.htm http://www.jankishlapetitefleur.com/v2/cakes_groomsstory.htm http://www.pittsburghwedding.com/planning/articles/101/1/Groom%26%2339%3Bs-Cake Oh, and I'm watching Steel Magnolias right now and they are about to hack into that poor animal that looks like it's bleeding to death. -Tara Andrew,
