In honor of our wedding anniversary, we ate the last piece of the top of our wedding cake. Luckily we decided to eat most of the top layer one week after we got married. The cake tasted MUCH better after one week, than after one year in the back of our freezer. Where did this tradition come from?

I'm not an expert or anything but at least what I heard in NZ is that wedding cakes originially were fruit cake (which is still common to have in NZ for a wedding cake) which is what lasts a really long time...BUT I don't know though. Wade and I ate our cake the following week too. Mmmm. Cake. YUMMY!!!
Smart idea to only save ONE piece. We saved the whole cake, what a waste!
I'm sorry it did not taste too good. Dave and I thought ours was delicious and even moist! However, we were starving college students at the time.
I think the fruit cake comment is correct. In Victorian times only the rich had cakes the way we think of them. The rest were fruit cakes which soaked in liquor taste better supposedly the longer they sit. It's a tradition that doesn't translate well into modern life. Maybe we should just all go eat cake on the 1 year anniversary- instead of old gross cake.
