West Grove, PA Couple Has Been Eating Their Wedding Cake for 49 Years!
Tradition says to freeze the top tier of your wedding cake to enjoy on your first anniversary, however, a couple from West Grove have been indulging for almost 50 years!
David and Anne Cowburn have set the bar. The NY Post says,
“On every anniversary for the past 49 years, the West Grove, Pa., couple 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 year on July 18, they thaw a small piece to share.
“It’s just a fun, romantic thing that we do,” Anne, 74, told The Post.”
Three children, four grandchildren and 49 years later, the Cowburn’s continue to freeze what’s left of the top tier of their wedding cake to eat each year on their anniversary. They got the idea from an old game show called “I’ve Got a Secret” hosted by Garry Moore. One couple’s secret was that they were eating their wedding cake that evening. It had remained in the freezer for 25 years.
The Cowburn’s plan on baking the last remaining crumbs from the original wedding cake into a special cake next year to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
How romantic!
