The Cakes
At their royal wedding, there were a whopping 27 wedding cakes to celebrate Charles and Diana’s marriage. However, it was the 5-foot tall cake made by the Naval Armed Forces that Charles sliced with a ceremonial sword. Aside from the usual icing, it was decorated with Prince Charles’ coat of arms, the Spencer family crest, the initials “C” and “D”, and was topped off with flowers like roses, lilies of the valley, and orchids.

Diana and Charles became the first British royal couple to break tradition by not including “obey” in their wedding vows. Aside from that, Diana didn’t vary much from the traditional promise to “love him, comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and health”.
