i think if you wanna smash cake in each other faces, it shoud be done not in a wedding but between the two of you privately. however the those who thinks it fun to do it in public should may be opt for a low key anything goes type wedding.

I Think it’s a bad sign and it looks terrible. My husband and I fed each other nice and then kissed. When a couple smashes cake in each others face it looks like they don’t like each other. One minute they are saying they are marring the love of their lives the next they are smashing cake in their faces. A real Man wouldn’t want to do that to his beautiful bride and a real Woman wouldn’t want to do that to her man. I believe it will be a marriage that will not last. Who knows though. It sure doesn’t look like they love each other doing that.

I agree. The DUMBEST psuedo-tradition to hit the scene.
How about weddings with class? If you want to have a clown wedding (i.e. a farce if you’re not really a clown) then ok, go for it. Mess up your face, hair, clothing.

But if you’re in a tux and a beautiful gown, giving the semblance of a classy wedding, don’t be juvenile.

I could not agree more! On my wedding day, I fed my husband first…no cake face smashing. Then, my husbands turn…an entire peice violently smashed into my face, so much so that it actually hurt. I was embaressed in front of my entire family and the money spent on my make-up for the day was a loss. Needless to say three years later we were divorced. I do think it is a sign of resentment. Why would you do something so hostile to someone you love? Be kind to eachother.

i totally enjoyed smashing the cake in my husbands face. No, I don’t think it equals divorce, and not it was not some “deep seeded anger or resentment.” It was fun, entertaining, and best of all, I liked it. I think it is simple minded to automatic assume ( let’s remember that assume means it makes an “ass” out of “u” and “me”) that since someone smashed cake in their spouses face they are destined for divorce.

i just don’t get this. I think I’m the only male that has to say I hate this and don’t understand it. My wife, to be, looked so beautiful on our day. She was crying during our vows which made all my brothers (groomsmen) all weepy- and their pretty manly dudes. To think of smashing cake in her face would have been heart wrenching. No way, never, no how!! Plus everyone would of kicked my arse including my family for ruining one of our most important days. Man, kill this ritual now!! It’s not funny, cool or attractive. Just sad.

My wife and I did not do this at our wedding reception. We discussed it and our thought was “okay, let’s agree one way or the other and stick to the agreement.” We agreed to not smash it and stuck to the agreement. Now, on the other hand, we saved the top of the cake for our 1st anniversary per the custom. On our anniversary, in a private moment with nobody else around, we each took a nice big piece and had some fun at each other’s expense. It was fun without the public mess. Perhaps for those couples on the fence this could be a decent compromise.

Thank goodness there are others who hate this “custom”!

Are you serious? I’m getting married in December, and we will *not* be smashing. I hope no one criticizes us, but this “custom” has become so common . . . I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
