    Cancel, but I have seen the jars to raise money for the honeymoon for who gets cake to the face. Both him and I would be rather gentle I feel, but still don’t love this. Seems childish and your photos for the rest of the night won’t be the same

    Cancel. You spend too much on hair, makeup and the dress of course to have it all ruined.

    My fiancé and I are honestly not sure about this one. I’ve discussed it with him, but right now we aren’t even sure about what our wedding cake is going to look like! We are meeting with some bakery’s next weekend though so maybe we’ll decide then.

    If it was at any other time, I wouldn't mind, but not at my wedding. I'm spending a fortune on hair, makeup and the dress.

    Cancelled. I spent so much money and time on hair and make-up. Our DJ also explicitly reminded my husband during the vendor call that this is never cool. 🤣

    Cancel! It just seems disrespectful to your spouse.

    Haven't talked about that either but if I know my FH like I think I do, he'll probably smash it in my face if we don't talk about it. So I better talk to him about it. Don't want to mess up my makeup!
