Em no, I shouldn't think so.
This is the Christening of a child and those present as Godparents etc. are those who are part of the parent's lives. People they respect and hopefully people who would actually fulfill the role of Godparent as set down in the CofE Book of Common Prayer. That is to say, they will encourage the child to be raised in the faith. No bit parts for hangers on in the Service.
So, while we wile away the time waiting for the first official HM, Charles, William and George portrait I think I'll weigh in on the cake (no pun intended).
I have to admit to giggling about the surmises about the cake, it's state, and if it was even healthy let alone edible. Now that really cracked me up and like many small things, emphasises the cultural gap between the UK (and much of the Commonwealth) and North America.
I have seen lots of video of the bride and groom feeding, or all too often shoving a slice of wedding cake in each other's face at weddings in the USA. To me it looked like it was almost like sponge cake with fondant or butter icing. A year or more down the road, freezer or no, I wouldn't be a starter for a slice but, with a traditional wedding cake such as is common in the UK and certainly still here in good old NZ, then oh yeah, I'm there, head of the queue! Brandy, etc. are really good at preserving and enhancing the taste of those traditional delicacies. Same goes for Christmas Cake and Christmas Pudding!
I shall contemplate the joys of such things while we continue to wait . . .
