Couple eats a bite of their wedding cake for 49 years
    2019-08-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

IT’S a tradition for couples to freeze the top tier of their wedding cake and tuck into a slice on their one-year anniversary.

David and Anne Cowburn have taken it a little further.

On every anniversary for the past 49 years, the couple from the West Grove in Pennsylvania, the United States, has enjoyed a slice of their wedding cake — or crumbs, in recent years.

The pastry, which they’ve kept in the freezer for a half century, has survived five house moves. Every July 18, they thaw a small piece to share.

“It’s just a fun, romantic thing that we do,” Anne, 74, told The Post.

The Cowburns, who have three children and four grandchildren, delight in remembering their 1970 wedding, where they first cut into the three-tiered vanilla confection.

“It was a very special cake,” said Anne.

Luckily, neither has become sick after eating the cake.

The duo met in 1967, when they worked as teachers at a junior high school in Wayne, Pennsylvania. They started dating a year later and married two years after that. Around 125 guests attended their ceremony and reception in Delaware.

Anne’s mom saved the top tier of the cake. She presented it to her daughter and new son-in-law after they returned from their honeymoon in England.

They got the idea to preserve the cake from the old TV game show “I’ve Got A Secret,” hosted by Garry Moore. Panelists were tasked with guessing contestants’ secrets. One couple’s secret? “We’re going to eat the last piece of our wedding cake tonight. It’s 25 years old.”

The couple plans to bake the last remaining crumbs into a new cake to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary next year.(SD-Agencies)
