    No way, it's not happening. I don't want cake in my hair, ruin my makeup or getting on my beautiful dress. He doesn't want it in his face either. It's almost grounds for divorce!! lol

    No thanks! As much as I love the 90s, the element of surprise is kind of not there anymore. Another one I would never do is the garter toss thing. I never got that. Your family is there watching, so why would you do that?

    WE ARE! Its all in fun, and not to disrespect one or the other. We are actually going to put 2 jars on the cake table labeled "Bride" and "Groom" whoever has the most cash in their "jar" will have to take a piece of cake to the face! Again. ALL in fun Smiley smile

    We are all for it! We share food with each other all the time when we eat out but we never hand feed it to each other. So for us to feed a wedding cake to each other will just feel very awkard so we are in agreement on a delicate smash. I have an irrational fear that he'll smash it too hard and break my nose Smiley xd very irrational lol

    I say Yeaaa!!! My future husband and I are so playful and silly with eachother, It almost would be foolish to not smash cake. "But my makeup and hair, and it's tacky." While that is some peoples opinion, my opinion is have some good fun memories. I would much rather have a memory of my husband smearing my face with cake and laugh about it years in advance then to just complain about my makeup possibly getting messed up. (P.S. if you have a good makeup artist, she'll fix it after Smiley smile)

    Nay. I paid a lot of money for my hair and makeup and dress, so my husband knew better.

    Nope. I don't want to ruin my makeup or my dress, and my face and hair feeling sticky for the rest of the night would really irritate me.
