Here Comes the Wedding Cake Stamp

Story & Photos by LuAnn Warner
Love was in the air as newly-engaged couples strolled the Bridal Expo at the South Florida Fairgrounds.  The crowd was pleasantly surprised with the U.S.  Postal Service’s dedication of the 66-Cent Wedding Cake Stamp. 
Cindy Mercy, Manager, Customer Service, Palms Central Station, presented a stamp enlargement to Sol Cruz, owner of Cake and the City.  Cruz had created a delectable replica of the cake portrayed on the stamp. The stamp, when literally “unveiled," quickly became a popular request at the USPS booth where brides-to-be were given information on ordering their wedding cake and love stamps online.  Mothers of the brides were particularly interested in information on mailing regulations for bridal invitations. 
Also at the event, passport applications were distributed to ensure that newlyweds could travel internationally on their honeymoons.  
The Wedding Cake stamp added a touch of beauty and romance to the crowd of approximately 2000 and will be on display, along with the three-tiered cake replica, at the West Palm Beach Main Office at 3200 Summit Blvd.
