my mother told me something years ago that still sticks with me. it’s an old tradition involving spinsters and wedding cake. the story goes, an unmarried woman takes a piece of the wedding cake home with her, and places it under her pillow (wrapped in a box or something, no cake on the pillow!), and sleeps on it that night. she is supposed to dream of her future husband. of course, i took a piece home, but was too drunk to remember the dream the next morning. i think my groom was there, and i think he was blonde, but i can’t be sure.
