Smashing the cake

sns3 · February 2010

Just curious about what others think on smashing cake in your dh's face

shellydiane820 · February 2010

Rude and unnecessary.

kate51485 · February 2010

Just say no.

This....because I'm not 5.

I would bet anything that there is a much higher divorce rate in couples who smash vs those who feed each other a bite respectfully.

ricksang · February 2010

Too aggressive for me.

CaptiolBride · February 2010

tacky tacky tacky

crfische · February 2010

It's fucking ridiculous. I judge everyone who did cake smashing. EVERYONE.

eastunder1 · February 2010

I think it's so passive agressive. Plus, gee, you have cake all over your face. Oh gosh thats just so funny and wacky. lol lol lol. ::rolls eyes::

Morfudd · February 2010

"Let's start out our marriage by humiliating one another!" I don't like it at all. Urgh.

mags0607 · February 2010

This definitely will not be happening at my wedding. Tacky!

Koopa17 · February 2010

It's trashy AND messy. Nobody wants a trashy and messy wedding.

polichik · February 2010

So inappropriate, disrespectful, and creepy. I really have to wonder who the first guy was who thought that up. I bet their marriage was annulled on the spot.

jasmineh7777 · February 2010

We will definitely not be smashing cake. It's rude and unnecessary.

ExpatPumpkin · February 2010

We fed each other nicely with a fork

I think DH would have been shocked if I'd smashed him with the cake since that's really an American thing, isn't it?

polichik · February 2010

Expat, I think it's a gross people thing.

louisvillebride21 · February 2010

I've told FI that if he did this, I seriously wouldn't speak to him for the rest of the day/night. It's so disrespectful.

I probably would've done it with a fork, but there were no forks nearby.

ETA: I re-read that and it seems like I'm defending doing a cake smash. I did <strong>not</strong> do a cake smash.

Trash-to-the-max.

This, exactly.

beatlesgirl25 · February 2010

Uncool. Don't give in to peer pressure.

TeresaLovesDave · February 2010

Smashing cake = do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I told FI that as far as I'm concerned, cake smash is grounds for annulment.

tlv204 · February 2010

Honestly I could not care less. We didnt' do it just because I didn't want to have sugar all over my face, but I find it very difficult to work up that much energy over whether it's trashy or not for other people to do it. To each her own.

I'm against it when I've spent so much time trying to look perfect and spent so much on my dress - I would not risk screwing that up for a little cake smash.

But we might do it for the groom's dinner.

What's a groom's dinner? Do you mean the rehearsal dinner?

BG - always coming up with amazing ideas! Good call.

luckyme502 · February 2010

I'm against cake smashing.

tortis · February 2010

We are considering not even having a cake. Neither of us like it, but I'm not sure if you can really be married w/o spending $1000 on a cake.

I'm not into the smashing mainly because I don't get it. It's one of those traditions that I feel like the meaning is lost. We aren't doing a bouquet toss (I always hated them when I was single) or a garter toss (um... awkward) either, so take my opinion based on that. I apparently hate all wedding traditions.
