    I want to do this, but also don't want my makeup to get ruined. So most likely cancel, unless FH surprises me, but then I'll surprise him back. Haha! Smiley xd

    Cancel. I will be pissed. I do not want cake smashed in my face. And I have told him this, but I'm worried he will do it, because he likes to push my buttons.

    Cancel!!!

    I'm paying too much for hair and makeup (not to mention my dress) on that day to have it messed up by cake and frosting!! I told FH he better get that idea out of his head (he's quite the jokester and would find this funny), or he won't make it to the end of the reception!!

    Im so scared about the cake smash 😂 I’m worried it’ll stain my dress, or something will go wrong 😂😂 I made FH swear up and down and on the love of our cat that he won’t smash it in my face 😂😂

    Cancel, it’s messy and disrespectful. Many people I know also hold a superstition about this and divorce

    Cancel for us. We're having gelato, and for some reason it's a tradition that makes my dad really anxious. Both of my parents, actually

    I would be very upset if he smashes cake in my face. I told him this is not acceptable and he will have a pissed off bride if he does it. We spend too much money on hair, make-up, and dress to be ruined. Sorry just not my style.

    Cancel!!! My first husband did it and I didn’t like it then either. There are enough traditions...don’t need this one.

    Cancel for a later time - not at the wedding but during the after party we plan of having some leftover cake and I’m letting him smash it in my face at our loft with friends who will be with us through the night. But at the wedding - I’m not paying an arm and leg for HMU for it to be ruined by some cake which deserves to be eaten.

    C-A-N-C-E-L!!!!!! FH wanted to do this so badly but I told him I would be incredibly pissed if he got cake all over me and I had to fix my hair and/or makeup, or god forbid he got it on my dress. HARD NO.

    Cancel. I'm paying a lot for my makeup so FH knows to not even think about it.

    Cancel. Feeding each other is cute, but I'll be wearing makeup and cake would get all in FH's beard and it would be a whole thing I'd rather just skip.

    I told my fiance I would appreciate it if he did NOT smash it in my face but as he thinks it's hilarious... I am assuming he will. I just hope it stays out of my hair.
