Last week, Mike Evans from Tampa Bay Buccaneers married Ashli Evans. They used the hashtag #EvansLastingLove and shared images of of the big day on Instagram and Twitter.

The most magical moment of a wedding is usually the vows, or possibly the first dance, but at the Evans' big day there was one image that took things to spellbinding new heights.

Yep, that's a multi-layered Harry Potter-themed groom's cake.

A bit of digging on Mike Evans' Twitter feed shows that his choice of cake shouldn't come as a big surprise, though. The guy's a pretty big Potter fan...
