Oh dear! My mother in law just sent around a piece of The Wedding Cake for us to 'enjoy'...and I use that word rather loosely as The Cake has now been in her freezer for no less than TWENTY MONTHS. Now, also...when I say 'piece', I'm actually referring to a quarter of a WHOLE TIER...
I can only assume that with Christmas fast approaching, her freezer-space situation was critical and she had to have a clear-out.

Thank you 
...at the time I was really pleased with it, although it's one of those cakes now that I look back at and think 'eh...maybe I could have done it better' you know? It bugs me now that the figurines are standing so far apart, but at the time I just didn't notice that somehow. Oh well, it's all a learning curve! 
I haven't read all the pages yet, but to be devil's advocate, it it possible that the hall had some sort of rule that you had to get the all food through them? Maybe the cake was for the pictures and that's why she didn't serve it? I have no idea if that happens, but I honestly cannot fathom why someone wouldn't serve the cake. Your cake is very well executed, very lovely!
^ The wedding was at a private residence, and I'm 99% sure there wouldn't have been any catering contract conflicts or anything like that with the arrangement they had (that particular caterer doesn't make or provide wedding cakes even if you wanted them to, so I can't see how they would object to somebody else's cake being served - ?)
For those who are wondering how this almost-two-years-frozen wedding cake tastes, I just tried a piece. (I wasn't going to, purely because I was feeling a bit put out that they would wait two years, and THEN gives us a huge hunk of it when they obviously just got sick of it taking up freezer space...) Anyway, amazingly the cake actually tastes great - you would seriously not know it had been frozen so long (or even at all) if you weren't told. It's chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache, and they do generally freeze brilliantly anyway, but I have to say - am pleasantly surprised!
LOL, that cracks me up! Nice of them to share that with everyone two years after the fact!
