Take another instance of an old tradition, the ceremonial kiss, in ancient roman times the kiss “sealed the deal” of the contract to join in a commitment.

The wheat found in the cake brought fertility to the couple and the sweetness of the cake brought happiness and sweetness to the couple. To be continued…
