This Couple’s Fast Food Chain Wedding Cake Is The Perfect Inspo For Your Big Day

Now that we’re well into wedding season, we’re betting that you’re pretty bored of looking at variations on the traditional three-tiered, white-frosted wedding cake. Which is why you’ll appreciate this couple who went the extra mile to get a cake that reflected not just their love for each other, but their shared passion for a certain fast food joint known for one particular food. And that would be Waffle House!

When Elizabeth and Henry Rivault married in New Orleans, LA, last week, they presented their guests with a cake shaped like their favorite food venue, complete with a bride and groom topper on the side.

According to Southern Living, the cake was made by New Orleans cake shop The Royal Cakery. It showed the couple in their wedding clothes outside a Waffle House, complete with the classic yellow roof with a ‘WAFFLE HOUSE’ sign above an orange awning, and another yellow sign standing outside.

Waffle House, which opened for business on Labor Day in 1955, was as delighted as anyone else.

They posted a photo with their congratulations to their official Instagram page:

The internet fell in love.

For one Twitter user, this is the romance they’ve been looking for.

This was no one hit Waffle wonder.

The bakery has made a bunch of interesting cakes:

But on the inside, it’s got the purple and gold colors of Louisiana State University!

This clever cake set defies the laws of gravity.

And yes, they can keep it classy too:

Waffle House has been invited to other people’s weddings.

A cake isn’t enough for some Waffle House fans. Scott and Katherine Sheely bonded over their shared love for Waffle House in 2015 — so when they got engaged years later, they chose the restaurant as the site of their engagement photos, and had Waffle House food trucks show up to their wedding in 2018.

Here’s another couple who made Waffle House part of their engagement shoot:

If this is a trend, this couple from 2017 may have been the OGs:

Waffle House has even served up ceremonies.

On Valentine’s Day 2019, Columbus, OH, radio station 92.3 WCOL married two couples, Arica and Brock Reed, and Josh and Kourtney Frazier, in a Waffle House.

The couples were each given a wedding cake to celebrate, on the (Waffle) house.

And these cakes are seriously confusing (and delighting) our eyes:

After you’re married, Waffle House becomes the perfect spot for anniversary dinners.

The Waffle House love is inspiring a new kind of fairy tale.

I'll know I've found the one when he says 'yes' to taking our engagement photos at @WaffleHouse.

And Waffle House approve:

You only deserve the best

For in a way, love is like a waffle. It’s sweet and light with a golden tint, but strong enough to hold all the syrup life can throw at it.
