I had a whole Do Not Playlist, starting with the chicken dance and going through YMCA and We are Family and ending with the Macarena.

Screw this guy and her family too.
I come here to speak for the ghosts of the Great Depression survivors that live in my head who would also condemn anyone who willfully wastes food like that. How is it a tradition anywhere to make somebody go to the trouble of baking a cake only to use it as a prop in your bro-fest shitshow and throw it away?
There are so many reasons to run away from this guy, I would not be surprised if the cake in question was in the shape of a red flag.

Normally I would say that marriage is hard work and you’re both going to make a lot of mistakes and working through them is part of what it takes to make the whole thing work.
This is just sadistic, though. She should run as fast as she can.

Kelly worked with British jewellery designer Stephen Webster to create the engagement ring, which is made from two magnetic bands that interlock.
The rings feature two pear-cut stones, a diamond and an emerald, that form the shape of a heart when worn together.
The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings,” the rapper explained. “When it’s together, it’s held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart.
“The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…”
In a close-up video of the rings on Fox’s finger posted to Kelly’s Instagram account last week, the rapper said the ring was designed with the couple’s unique relationship in mind.

Someone is unaware of the fact that rings are taken off to do the dishes, gardening, use ‘beauty’ products in the bathroom, etc.

Its not usually the whole cake. Its usually one takes a single slice in their hand and dabs it lightly into the other person’s face. And vice versa. So both are dabbed. But smashing into someone’s face. Or smashing the whole cake. That’s for people who didn’t get the memo.
In any case, either way is beyond me.
Because she’s being gaslighted. She knows she’s right, but no one else is giving her validation. Very common in an abusive situation.

We rely on etiquette specialists to transmit knowledge of wedding customs, but they aren’t paid to be neutral observers. Wedding photographers might be another source, but if there’s a fight, or worse, they might not get fully paid. Best ask an anthropologist.
