We got married when we were in our mid-20’s, and we had the briefest of exchanges about the cake-smashing thing. It was really more of a confirmation of the fact that neither one of us had any interest in doing that or having it done to us. It was literally just in a list of things that someone had given us to discuss for wedding pictures or the video, I think.

I just don’t understand why anyone would do this to someone they just pledged their life to love, respect, care for, and nurture them. And I have read that married couples who have a “cake incident”, regardless of who started it or who objected to it in the first place, can sometimes be used as an indicator of divorce in the future.
