WR PIP: Cake.. Smash or No Smash?
I LOVE seeing all these WR PIPs, makes me all warm and fuzzy.
So, did you smash the cake? Did he? PIP!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I have such a pet peeve about smashing of any kind of food in someone's face, ESPECIALLY to your dearly beloved at a wedding. Personally, I find it to be incredibly disrespectful whether it's all in "good fun" or not. Flame away if you want, but it's just NMS and every time I see a "smash" pic I cringe. <end rant>
But, C and I did have a good laugh as he teased me about it right before he politely fed me a piece with a fork
Oh, and our song was "Love Story" by Mariah Carey

We had cupcakes, and didn't do any sort of cutting, feeding, etc.
I must agree with Brooke, I hate the cake smashing.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermNo cake smashing here.
We even used forks
I just realized I don't have any pics of him feeding me cake, though. Sadness
No smashing for us (my mom threatened Steve's life if he did! lol)
He did miss my mouth by a little though, LOL

I would say we didn't really smash, just wiped a litle frostin gon his face.
Me feeding him..
Him feeding me (I was clearly much more eager to eat cake)
Second thoughts..
Decided to have a little more cake..
Clean up...
Don't think I've ever been able to share my cake..
And NO smashing for us either. They made me feed him first and the entire crowd was SCREAMING at me to smash it.. I didn't. Then it was Mike's turn and they were SCREAMING at him to do it lol... he didn't either.
No smashing. Like Brooke, I was raised that you just don't do that if you respect someone, and I respect Ron and he respects me, so it was a pretty simple decision.
Aaaaand here's the pic:
Tisha- Your cake is the exact color my cake was supposed to be. How far off was my cake you ask....well look at the poor little anemic thing:
No smashing here:
Kissing after w/ icing all over our hands. (I just realized my hand makes a really weird shadow on my upper arm in this pic).
No smashing for us either and we used forks...actually cake cutting is the one place I think my photog didn't do a great job capturing. We got pics, but none of us actually doing the cutting.
PS-don't mind my manly looking arm :O)
I am so judgemental, but I wish I had better posture in this pic:

Well there was lot's of smashing at my wedding, and it was not planned. I got a little over zealous and started the smashing but he got me back 10 fold.
Cutting:
And the aftermath, cake in the eye and he had it on his shoe, I found in the next morning in the hotel room.
You can see the whole thing in my wedding trailer:

Our photographer sucked so she really didn't get many pictures of the cake cutting, but here's a couple from other guests. We totally smashed. He wasn't going to but said when I started to he went for it. We didn't get super messy or anything though, mainly because the little bits of cake we each took were tiny. These are some of my favorite pics from the reception just because Jason looks like he's having so much fun.
No smashing for us.
Here's our whipped cream and fresh berries yum yum goodness, including one gluten free cake made with almond flour. You can see the almond one sitting on the table and there with no whipped cream on the side of it (so it was identifiable). My aunt is gluten intolerant. We ended up cutting this cake for our cake cutting.

om nom nom nomEveryone telling him to smash it in my face, me telling them to shuuuush.
Him saying, Come ooooon (jokingly, but he makes this face a lot and I love it).
Right after he punched me.
I kid. I'm making sure no cake gets on my dress!
Yay
I'm a little late to the party but want in on the fun!
Here we are cutting the cake..
Telling mike If hes smashes cake in my face, I'm going to have to beat him down... he looks scared huh!
He SOOOO doesn't like cake....
He tried to put the piece in my mouth at once...
and then got frosting on the edge of my dress....he had to go get it...
LMAO! This made me laugh out loud. lmao
Missing our little turkey.

I told him before we even got to the wedding day that if he smashed, we'd have a funeral directly following...
I can't find the photos of us feeding each other, so I'll edit those in once I find them. However, since he didn't get to smash cake in my face, he did get to go after the garter any way he liked.
Hahaha! Me too!!
Brooke - your dress is beautiful!
Megan & Chris
hehe
Getting fit for IVF!
I also thinking smashing cake is disrespectful. I told Brandon if he smashed it in my face the marriage would be over before it ever started. I was so worried about this I told him way to many times not to smash it. I also read an article about how disrespectful it was to him.
When it was happening everybody was screaming to smash it. When he didn't he got major kudos from all the ladies. "oh he is so sweet to you. he loves you so much." haha

I was afraid of him in that one. he was joking he was going to do it.
cake4 by lickingparadise, on Flickr
Notice my hand in case he dropped it. haha.
btw why was my photog so damn close to us? those shots were way too much in my biznaz! lol.
I told him before the wedding that he was supposed to feed me first. He did but we mostly did it at the same time. I ended up with frosting on my finger and wiped a little on his face. When I pointed on my face where it was on his I ended up getting frosting on my face which he wiped off. This is my first collage. Hope it works.
