Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth’s Wedding Cake Is Not What You’d Expect

The beans have officially been spilled: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth will be ringing in the New Year as a married couple. Their friend Conrad Jack Carr posted photos from their secret/not-so-secret December 23rd wedding celebration on his Instagram Story. And the party was incredibly low-key — like so low-key that Cyrus and Hemsworth’s wedding cake is teetering on boring. It’s certainly not something we’d expect from a sequin-obsessed happy hippie like Cyrus.

Cyrus, dressed in an off-the-shoulder white satin dress, and Hemsworth in a black suit were surrounded by casually-dressed friends and family in their Nashville abode. Carr posted a photo of Cyrus and Hemsworth cutting their two-tiered wedding cake, decorated with a simple floral arrangement.

Don’t get us wrong — it’s a beautiful cake. Although it doesn’t scream “she’s just being Miley,” it definitely represents Cyrus’s recent evolution out of her teddy bear jumpsuits and into her classic black turtleneck.

In Carr’s snapshot, momma Tish Cyrus stands off to the side in a black blouse and jeans. And the rest of the party-goers definitely went for a dressy-casual look. Some fans think the casual dress code may mean that this party was simply a wedding rehearsal. However, Cyrus and Hemsworth like to keep things private. So throwing themselves a down-home wedding makes a lot of sense.
