The pedal is evocative of good old fashioned heavy engineering, a sturdy metal artifact, launching a large and proud construction. The marriage, then, is metaphorically a huge, Clyde-built ship, set to safely sail the seven seas of futurity. But at the same time, I fear that if the pedal is operated by a party other than one of the recently-married then its use becomes an overcompensatory frat house-level act of jealousy and humbug. Similarly, if one of the wedded parties is to deploy the flan then, though they may also be suffering the effects, it is still an aggressive act against the other, no matter now implicitly compliant they may be. Therefore, I suggest that the pedal is replaced with as many pedals as there are guests and members of the wedding party collectively, so that all present can share in a synchronised and possibly down-counted phantom-flan-flingery moment of nuptial delight. |

Incidentally, I suspect that the cake-face-mash move is an American, rather than global, tradition and, speaking as one whose national wedding tradition is drinking til the end of the following week while wearing a skirt, a mighty perplexing and bizarre one at that. |

I thought that drinking till the end of the following week was just a Friday thing. :) |

[calum]thanks for the most eloquent anno and party on! |

I think you need more mechanics than just the cake. The best man and maid of honor should always be robots. Because robots are very good at ironic timing (blowing up the cake while the father of the bride is crying mid-speech). |

[daisy: don't worry - they're mostly too afraid of commitment anyway!] |

Robot best-man stand-in's would be great. I was a groomsman once and it was impossible for me to stand still during the 20-minute blabbery. |

I hope that the wedding pictures have been taken by this time. |

[daaisy], And if a halfbaker offers to show you his half-baguette, you should probably politely decline.... |
