Sixty-five years of wedded bliss is certainly nothing to sneeze at, but managing to preserve a piece of cake for that long may just be even more remarkable.
Earlier this week, a piece of the Queen and Duke's wedding cake was auctioned off for £560 ($840.95 at today's exchange rate). The cake had been preserved in a tin marked to commemorate the event.
The original wedding cake weighed in at a staggaring 500 pounds, contained ingredients from 10,000 miles away (the Australian Girl Guides had donated ingredients), and served 2,000 guests.

However, when a piece of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding cake was auctioned off last year, it went for £1,917 (roughly $2878.76 at today's rate).
