Bride ignored this wedding day ‘red flag’ — now she’s divorced
Marriage is no piece of cake — and this not-so-sweet groom pulled a big day stunt, forewarning the bride that their union was doomed.
Freshly single, a recent divorcée claims her “narcissistic” ex-husband unveiled his “first of many red flags” just moments after they said “I do” by frosting her face with wedding cake, per the démodé tradition.

“My Grammy always said, if they smash the cake in your face on your wedding day, they don’t respect you. And it won’t last,” Stephanie, a content creator, captioned chaotic scenes from her messy matrimony.
“She was so right,” she continued, lauding her grandmother’s words of wisdom. “It was the first of many red flags l ignored.”
Footage of the ill-fated fête, which has amassed over 642,000 TikTok views, shows the blushing bride turning red with shame seconds after her unnamed hubby hit her in the kisser with the confection.
An admittedly “speechless” Stephanie struggles to utter, “I can’t believe you did that,” while trying to wipe off the cream as her goofball groom chuckles, saying, “I think it’s good luck.”
But no, sir. It is not.
In fact, insiders for The Knot, a virtual wedding hub, says the centuries-old, controversial custom originated in ancient Rome with “a bit of a dark [sexist]” history.
“The bride would have barely cake crumbled over their head,” according to the experts. “This act was supposed to signify the promise of fertility and male dominance in the marriage.”
And although the weird ritual has somehow managed to stand the test of time, it seems nuptials plagued by the cake-smash prank are typically short lived.
A beleaguered bride angrily stormed out of her reception, when the man who’d just vowed his endless fidelity messed up her mug with a hunk of the sugary stuff — even after she begged him not to do it.
“This was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives and he embarrassed me in front of everyone for some prank that he knew I hated,” the scorned woman whined on Reddit. “Not only that, he ruined a 500-dollar cake. He ruined my makeup, my hair and the top of my dress. The cake got all over.”
A separate groom was labeled a “jerk” by outraged online onlookers after a clip of his cake-smashing exploits went viral on X in April.
“Automatic annulment,” tweeted virtual savages, urging the bride to dump the dope.
It’s a power move that Stephanie, evidently, wishes she’d made following her ex’s icky infraction.
“Finally, he told me to leave — that way he wouldn’t look like the bad guy,” she said in the caption of the vid, revealing that her former fella ultimately pulled the plug on their marriage.
“I gladly left,” Stephanie assured. “Then he got married 3 months after we got divorced.”
“Thank God I don’t feel anything anymore — Maybe sorry for his new wife.”
Let’s be honest—no matter how stressful the day gets, a good viral video can instantly lift your mood. Whether it’s a funny pet doing something silly, a heartwarming moment between strangers, or a wild dance challenge, viral videos are what keep the internet fun and alive.
