I have some odd food allergies too, and I feel awful for the bride whose in-laws are freaking out over the lack of chocolate in the wedding cake.

Which leads me to ask: since when has chocolate been the traditional flavour anywhere? I'm used to fruit cakes (you know, the kind you get the little sliver of, put in the freezer, and re-discover around the couple's tenth anniversary), or plain sponge cakes. I've never heard of chocolate being for weddings.
