I have no idea; but I know if my husband ever tries that with me, he'll get knocked out.

I don't believe it is a tradition. It's shown a lot on TV because it seems cutesy, much like a pie in the face . . . and nobody gets miffed about the cake because it's a special day and the newly weds are "just playing." But if you think about it, the action is more hostile than funny and wouldn't be tolerated other times. It also could be that they're playing for the crowd or the camera. I grin at the cake face, just as someone walking into a door on TV evokes a reactionary laugh, but, actually, it's not funny

Since my fiance will be in his Dress B uniform (Marine) and I am going to be in the most expensive dress I will ever own or will buy, we would not want to ruin or have these items be sent to dry cleaners like that.
Plus, pictures with cake all in our faces doesn't seem to "rememberable".
However, him and I did discuss it since we don't see any problem with doing so. It isn't "mean" nor "rude". It is a person's wedding and if they want to have some play fun while feeding eachother a piece of the cake, then so be it. If a person disagrees with it, then they have their own wedding to not accept that behavior from their own spouse.
However, we did decide to hold off on the cake playing til we are alone. Hehe.

This comes from a very old pagan idea that means "you will not only feed each other...you will OVER feed each other" --You will be prosperous!
The Jews have a similar tradition of drinking wine from a fine crystal glass and then smashing the glasses...same thing....you will be prosperous!

It's not a tradition.
It's an excuse to ruin the hair, clothing and/or makeup of your new spouse. Talk about passive-agressive.
Totally tacky.

It is not a tradition it started as something cute that really isn't. It is also done to kids at their birthday....not cool.

It is definitely not a tradition; it's an abberation.

Not sure, but it is a highly tacky, disgraceful, disrespectful thing to do.
