But some cake toppers can even send a wrong message. When choosing your cake toppers you should realize that not everyone will appreciate originality or your sense of humor especially if the wedding cake topper is not traditional. Wedding is the most romantic and special moment in everyone’s life.

Some people dream of their wedding a life time, while some people especially men consider the marriage a prison. We all know that men are afraid of commitment and men don’t want to get married as much as women do.

In our modern society, less and less men are willing to get married, so when a woman is asked in marriage its like winning the lottery and she will do anything to keep the men by her side, that is why some women feel desperate to get married and men view marriage as a prison or a trap. I think this is wrong and I will definitely not choose a ball and chain topper for my wedding cake topper. This type of topper present the bride keeping the keys and a groom with ball and chain like a prisoner. While some feminists will think that this topper will present the bride as a powerful, authoritative character, I personally consider this a sign of weakness. This type of topper with a bride and a groom with ball and chain promote the idea that marriage is a prison and you should keep the other one as a prisoner, forcing him to stay by your side. That is a problem marriage should not be a prison, you cannot force the other person to stay by your side, we all dream of a fairytale wedding that will last forever. There is an old proverb that says when you love someone, or something you let it free.

By choosing this type of topper you start your marriage with the wrong idea that marriage is a prison. Love should not be a trap. I will not choose this type of topper, I guess it doesn’t represent me and my values. But some bride find this kind of topper funny. This topper can send the wrong allusion suggesting that the wife will keep the husband ”in chains” by her side. No if he really loves her he won’t feel a prisoner, will not feel forced and won’t see marriage as a prison as most men do. The man that sees the marriage as a prison, as a sacrifice, he will want to ”escape”. Then everyone will blame the wife that she didn’t knew how to keep him by her side, which is not fair. All this discussion will start from just a simple cake topper you selected for your wedding day.
