Now let me finish my story:

So, looking for free easy fruit wedding cake recipe I found out this:

Fruit Cake is much more than a typical Christmas dish. Did you know that during the 13th century, dried fruit began to arrive to England from Portugal and the east Mediterranean?

During the later half of 1700s, England distributed cake slices to women who sang Christmas carols. This kind of cake was frequently used in celebrations from the turn of the 18th century.

It remains a custom in England for unmarried wedding guests to put a slice of dark cake under their pillow at night so they could dream of the person they will marry.

Well, as I said I could not find free easy fruit wedding cake recipe from that time, but I will share some more history with you :-)
