Correct. People of character get stronger. Jerks become worse jerks.
Nope...not for that reason. I’ve had some not like my be in church rules and not go with me. But, if they’re going to call a pastor not their own to do a wedding, then I
m willing to make a trade. They listen to me about Jesus in church and in counseling until the wedding, and I’ll to their wedding. I’ve actually had some that afraid of Jesus to follow through on that one.
In terms of cake face, I think they’re relieved that I bring it up. They fear having themselves disrespected and embarrassed like that in public.
Never heard of it till I came to this country.
I don’t like generalizations but this was interesting. There may be some truth to it. Regardless, I happen to think this smashing the cake in each others’ faces is one of those stupid wedding traditions....right up there with the garter and bouquet tosses. We did the cake, but kept it low key. We passed on the latter.
At one of my son’s wedding, the knife broke as the couple tried to cut the cake.
Three months later he found her in bed with another guy.
This pastor may be on to something.
Shoving cake in the face, starting your marriage with an insult.
The bride is usually in her church among people that have watched her grow up from a little girl to a beautiful woman. Here she is in her most radiant, she is in love, is displaying her husband for them to see, sharing the moment and him with the congregation. It is an act of absolute disrespect toward her and those people for a bridegroom to shove cake in her face in front of those people in order to get a few cheap yucks from his frat brothers or drinking buddies.

That was so long ago I don’t remember what we did.
