My little sister, when she got married…he tried to smash the cake in her face…this was after he cut HIS cake with a bloody Scottish Claymore…yeah, she wasn’t happy with him trying to smash the cake in her face, she was terrorfied of him getting anything on the gown I spent six months makin’ her. They divorced a year later because she wasn’t…smart enough or cultured enough for him…his words!

If you have the need to smash food into your spouse’s face, perhaps you shouldn’t be getting married. When we got married it was a non-issue, we both saw a bride and groom smash each other with handfuls of cake at a previous wedding and we didn’t think it was funny at all. It ruined the bride’s hair, make-up and dress and the groom’s shirt. All that planning, money, sacrifice for a beautiful wedding and a big reception just so you can throw food at the person you love is ridiculous.

Bride and groom are supposed to HELP each other taste the cake, not ram it up each other’s noses. I don’t understand this “custom” at all.

I just got married, and we didn’t smash cake into each others faces; a lot of people criticized us for not doing it too.

My father always said that the cake smashing showed a big resentment between the couple/wish to hurt each other, and I agree, and am glad to see that others do too. I don’t believe in symbols mystically or anything, but concretely, the sharing of a first meal together and giving eachother the best bites is.. well, symbolic and when it turns into a fight? Ugh.

It seems so dumb to risk ruining a suit and for the bride–her makeup and dress.

My best friend and I have always said, cake smash=divorce. I just think most couples that do this have some kind of deep seeded anger or resentment because it seems like such a hostile thing to do…

Hate, hate, hate this “custom”. To me it is so uncalled for. To smash something into a loved one’s face is an act of aggression and not love. It is the height of tackiness to make others deliberately feel uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable watching people try to humilate each other. Please brides and grooms, stop this today and treat your spouse with respect.
