The cake is cut by the bride and groom after the speeches and toasts. The bride and groom together make the first cut, with a suitably ornate knife, in the bottom tier of the cake. The cake is then taken away and cut up by the caterers or some other designated person.
Some couples choose to cut the cake before the speeches. The cake can then be cut up while the speeches are taking place and distributed by the waiters or the bridesmaids. The rest of the cake will be saved for eventual distribution to friends and relatives of the newly-weds who are unable to attend the wedding or the reception.

is said that if a bridesmaid keeps her slice of wedding cake and places
it under her pillow that night, she will dream of the man she will
marry.
