Altra grande protagonista del matrimonio, seconda solo all’abito da sposa, la torta nuziale ha origini moooolto antiche, anche i romani infatti festeggiavano il matrimonio dividendo una torta. Non la torta monumentale, a più piani e decorata che si incontra oggi naturalmente! La torta di allora era una semplice focaccia di farro, e la spartizione del panis farreus (così si chiamava la torta) aveva un significato così importante da dare il nome all’intera cerimonia, detta appunto confarreatio: la condivisione del farro, il momento in cui gli sposi dividevano per la prima volta il cibo, rappresentava infatti il simbolo della futura vita comune.
Oggi forse si è perso questo simbolismo, ma resta il fatto che il taglio della torta è uno dei momenti clou receipt, which accompanies the first official toast of the newly married.
