We didn´t but now I´m curious who did, and why did you do this? For show, or to take out your aggressions with each other.
Another question...are you still married?

I think it's one of the most rude and disrespectful things you can do.
You are both in your finest. The sharing of cake is to symbolize you taking care of each other. Just ruins the moment and is childish.

Weddings are all about tradition, but there are some new traditions that I could do without. If you watch America's Funniest Home Videos you see what kinds of stupid ideas people have for weddings, things they think will be funny or cute, but they end up just looking dumb. The idea is that the bride and groom cut the cake together and each give the other a piece, or each takes a bite of the same piece, symbolizing their new life together or whatever. Sometime in the (recent) past a couple decided to feed each other the cake and people liked that so it became another 'tradition'. You can see it's only a short step from feeding each other to smashing cake in each other's faces. Maybe it was funny the first time. 8^<

We had rules that there would be no smashing of the cake at the reception. I knew there would be tons of picutures and didn't want to ruin my makeup, hair, lipstick, dress.....he smeared a little frosting on my arm and i got a dap on his nose just for fun....but really is it important to smash the cake in each other's face or look great in the photos later? Yes we are married, still married for almost one year.

We fall into the "did not" catagory. But it may not count because we ended up not having a cake at the reception. We were married in late December and had a major ice storm that day. There were 5 people at the wedding, no food, and we made it has far as the nearest motel afterwards for our honeymoon.
But we have still been "mooning" over each other for 30+ years now. I keep telling her that we have to add like "newlyweds" until the honeymoon is over, and since we never made the honeymoon, we unfortunately will have to keep acting like "newlyweds" forever....

No we didn't smash -- we considered it rude and disrespectful to each other. This is a time of sharing with each other and to smash the cake just sets the tone of your entire marriage. We love and respect each other too much.
We only just got married a month ago, so yep, still married.

Well, we haven't talked about it, but I know it's something that won't be done at our wedding. We want to be the same people at our wedding that you would see on a normal day..and we NEVER smash food in each others face, so why would we start on the first day of our life together? I guess it is considered bad etiquette...but plain and simple..it's just not us.
Wow, I noticed a few getting really offensive on here...talk about "lighten up".

No, we did not smash the cake in each other's face...we have been married now for 14 years. We were also in our 30's when we got married, so perhaps this is the difference...???

I knew that my husbands' buddies would be egging him on when the moment came, but I think smashing the cake makes the entire thing feel less elegant. As a compromise, I told him that he could dab a little icing on my nose to satisfy his buddies, but to please not make a mess on my dress. Thankfully, he agreed and did as I asked. It turned into a really cute scene- he got a napkin and helped dab the little bit of icing off my nose.

We pretended like we were going to for show, but we didn't. We didn't even talk about it beforehand, we just knew we wouldn't want to embarrass the other or mess up the clothes. We are still married, but we are really easy-going ppl and it just isn't our type of thing. For some ppl its cute and all, but you want to look your best and show your love...any aggression can be worked out very easily on your wedding night. lol

We did not. We even used forks instead of our fingers because I thought it looked nicer. We are still happily married. I have only been to a few weddings where they smash it and many guests are always very put off by it. It just makes the groom look bad, in particular, because it always messes up her makeup and gets on the dress somehow or another.
