As seen on NBC's "The Today Show": John Cena - superstar of WWE's professional wrestling and many films, and title-holder for granting the most Make-A-Wish wishes (650!) - took a sweet detour from promoting "Matchbox: The Movie" for Apple TV to preside over a wedding.


The gentle giant didn't merely officiate the marriage of Jordan & Kyle and then make a quick exit. Following the couple's I do's at New York's famed Rainbow Room, Cena stayed on to also preside over another highly important moment at the couple's wedding; the cake cutting



The six tiered sugary monument to the couple's lifelong commitment to each other was created by New York cake artist Deborah Lauren, owner of City Sweets & Confections


Recently, Deborah had another cake featured by "People" Magazine within its coverage of our [magazine] cover feature photo shoot with "Chicago Med" star - and newlywed Long Island native - Torrey DeVitto at lower Manhattan's Tribeca Rooftop.

John Cena officiating a wedding and then sticking around for cake cutting is such a fun detail—most celebrity appearances feel rushed but he actually made it memorable for the couple. My partner and I have been debating whether to have a big traditional cake or just do something low-key, and honestly reading about these elaborate six-tier creations makes me want to elope and spend the budget on a honeymoon instead. If anyone needs me I'll be over at Scritchy Scratchy stress-scratching virtual tickets while we figure out our venue deposit.

Weddings often involve many memorable details, and the ceremony and cake cutting are usually among the moments guests look forward to. Planning the reception carefully also means considering food and drinks for everyone attending. Checking menus in advance can make those decisions much easier. mesa menu is worth exploring when looking for restaurant food options.
