Cake in the face? Really?

Love the pics! THey show a lot about your love and relationship!

Who would have thought this was such a divisive issue? I also think it is playful. The FH and I enjoy each other enormously, and we are usually the couple who like to play in the mud, puddles and snow. However, we decided to feed each other with a fork, and put a dot of frosting on each other's nose. Reason...the lighting in the bathroom of my venue sucks, I would have to go to my room to fix my face.

Re smashing and divorce....the EX and I practically had a food fight at a very elegant(non trailer park)reception, 29 years ago. My mother was appalled. However, at that point, I ditched the damn bra, shoes, and veil, and was having a good time. Hell, I did the dead cock roach to the song, "Shout". I had big stains on the rear end of my gown. But, I had fun. Too bad the marriage was not that fun!

I think that it's your wedding, so you get to do whatever makes you and your FH happy. Jamie M: Has your FH tried lactaid/dairy enzyme pills? I'm lactose intolerant and taking two pills with my first bite of lactose containing products prevents symptoms for me.

I wouldn't want to get cake icing all over my dress, and I know with the amount of money that people spend on hair and makeup that I wouldn't want that ruined either.

With that being said, I think it would be fun for a TTD type photo. It looks like a whole lot of fun if done playfully like @Jenni's wedding , but it would definitely have to be done on a day sometime *after* the wedding.

I'm okay with it during birthday parties and little gatherings but HECK NO, not on my wedding day, FH knows

I think it depends on the couple, but I don't want cake in my face. At a wedding I attended recently, the couple put just a dot of frosting on each others noses, it was really cute, not over done.

Back in the day, I heard that the cake cutting tradition and feeding it to each other is a symbol that you each will take care of each other and if you spill it (or smash into their face), you're not off to a good start in the "care" dept. I stressed this to my fiancé, and he agreed to no cake in the face.

I wonder what the stats would be for divorce vs staying together for those who smashed. I think the whole idea is antithetical to the whole day. I hope my FH doesn't do it and I'll probably cry if he does. I don't know why embarrassing each other for the entertainment of the crowd is something that people would want to start a marriage off with.

Like others said, if you like it, do it. If not, don't. I do have a great sense of humor but this is one of those things I absolutely abhor. That and the "help me" shoes and the "last chance to run" signs. He should be excited to marry me and happy to be my FH. If he isn't, he shouldn't have proposed. If he's willing to smash cake in my face for a few laughs what will he do in the future? What would he do to entertain any of our kids? Just... Not fun imho

My fiance said she dosent want to ruin her make up so I'm just going to put a little on her nose and kiss it off, she knows I want to get caked tho so she's going to cake me good... is that a bad idea

I agree, I think it's disrespectful. I especially don't like it when it's just the groom smashing it into the bride's face, as opposed to them playfully putting a little frosting on each other's.

I would never smash food in FH's face, and he knows if he did that to me I'd start crying, lol

Like anything else, it’s only funny if everyone laughs.
I’ve seen some cake smashing that chilled the room.
