The wedding cake has become a constant feature of church weddings.
It is also a major area of disagreement between couples during the planning stage.

The lady wants the biggest and, of course, most expensive. "After all, you do it only once."
But the man wants something realistic and affordable.

My opinion is that the wedding cake is not critical to the wedding.
It consumes an unfair amount of wedding resources.
In the end, all you get is a Kola nut size crumb, which most people refuse anyway because it's too sweet.

During my wedding, I was presented with a huge estimate for a 7-step cake.
I strongly believe that the most important thing in a wedding reception is food and drink.
After the long journey and sitting through the church service, visitors need to get back their strength.
They don't remember the cake size but they will remember how they starved in your wedding.

I had to put my feet down and cut the budget on cake and invested more on food and drink.
I know that the ladies reading this will frown but the truth is that no wedding is the best. We forget them soon.
The cake is only symbolic and symbolic items are usually small and inexpensive.
How about we scoop a bit of the rice or whatever food available for the `feed your spouse` part ?

Same thought goes for too many Ashebi and all those unnecessary appendages that drain the purse.
Of course those who have should spend, but most men, under pressure from their women, spend to impress.
I have seen several cases of couples regretting afterwards and wished they had another chance to plan again.

My thoughts. What's yours?
