Maine & NH Wedding Photographer // Wedding Pro Tip: So You Smashed Cake in Their Face… How’s That Marriage Going?

Alright folks, let’s have a little chat. A real talk. Another pro tip comin’ in hot.

If you’re thinking of smashing cake in your partner’s face at your wedding… don’t. Just don’t.

Listen, I’ve been to a lot of weddings. Like, enough to develop a sixth sense for when drama is about to go down. And lemme tell you—nothing kills the vibe faster than a groom (or bride) deciding it’s “funny” to shove a slab of buttercream into someone’s lashes, up their nose, or worse—on that dress they just dropped a small fortune on.

That glam squad didn’t show up at 6AM just so you could reenact a food fight from 8th grade lunch. Your partner sat in a chair for hours getting every single curl, lash, and contour just right. That dress? Yeah, it’s not machine washable. And that tux you just rubbed red velvet on? Hope you like explaining that to the rental shop.

And while it might seem like a “haha so funny let’s go viral” moment—it’s almost never funny to the person on the receiving end. I’ve seen it go from “cute moment” to “I need a minute to cool off before I strangle him” real quick.

So ask yourself:
Do you want cake in your partner’s mouth… or a grudge that lives forever in your wedding album?

Be the kind of spouse who gently offers a bite of cake with love and maybe a wink—not one who’s gonna need a couch to sleep on during the honeymoon.

You’ve got the rest of your lives to get silly. Maybe keep the cake outta the drama and save the smashing for the dance floor, yeah?

Catch ya at the next wedding—where the cake goes in mouths, not on faces.
