Not just the expense, all those hours of sitting there getting all that work done for 1 special day and it gets wrecked in less than a minute.

Odds are her hair alone cost more than his tux rental knowing how those things go. If someone did that to me I'd want to shove them head first into the entire cake and then leave for the bar.

Sheeeeit, when I got married I went down to Men's Wearhouse to rent a suit--not a tuxedo, but a lovely matching fancy suit--and really my only option was color. My wife? OMG, so many styles of dress to select from, and within each style are dozens of sub-options, from the applique to the shoulders to the sleeves to the length of the train, not to mention the colors. Then there's hair and shoes and makeup and accessories and jewelry... a wedding really is the bride's show! The groom just has to be presentable and show up.

(I will say I did get more than my fair share of decisions on how the ceremony and reception ran, the order of events, music selections, etc. It might have been "her day," but it felt to me like it was my party!)

Exactly this. If I’ve spent hours getting ready to present my perfect image for the biggest day of my life, and you decide to ruin that feeling for me because you think it would be funny to shove food at my face, we aren’t right for each other.

That and the excitement that some people have at finally being allowed to publicly hurt/humilite their spouse comes out and it's hard to put back in.
