How about a formal description? Okay. A wedding cake topper is a small model or figurine that sits on top of a wedding cake. Often made of plastic, it normally depicts the couple getting married in their wedding attire. Normally, but these days there are many variations on the theme.

After the description the history is next. Although no records exist of the first time someone put a little figure on top of a wedding cake, we do have a number of traditions. One very popular tradition states that a bride was getting married, and she was trying to figure out some way in which she could depict the love that she and her future husband shared for each other. Her father happened to be a baker, and she gave him the assignment. Being a baker he naturally baked a wedding cake, but he added a little something to the top of the cake. He put a figurine of his daughter and her future husband on top. This was to exemplify that love that these two young people shared for each other as they started their new life together.

The differences in wedding traditions and customs among nations are based on several reasons. People have various cultures, religions, ethnic groups, and social hierarchies. But in general, these ceremonies that unite two individuals, has only four major types.

The first and most common type is called a religious wedding. People rarely encounter problems with it if the persons to be wed have the same religion. Problems occur when two people have different faiths, and when one party doesn’t want to give up his religion for the sake of the other.

Nowadays, this problem is being solved by most ministries to allow couples to get married even with different religion, though there are still very strict religions that prohibit this.

All three key men of the wedding; groom, best man, and father of the bride; are required to give at least a toast. Be prepared. Speeches and toasts are comprised of three parts: The words of the speech, how you say them, and your body language. Research shows that your body language and how you say it is more important that the words that you say. So, if you are welcoming Tom into the family, but your body and voice intonations are saying I hope to hell he keeps away from me, the audience will know what you really meant. To give a successful speech or toast, you need eye contact, body language and voice control.

Good eye contact translates into sincerity. Look individual listeners in the eye. Hold eye contact and then move on to another listener. Practice your speech standing up and in front of a mirror since you will be standing when you give it at the wedding. If you don’t practice your toast while standing, you’ll be surprised at how fast the blood can drain out of your system when you stand.
