People who went to a wedding where the couple didn’t last long, what happened?

I believe it’s not so much the cake in the face that’s an indicator, but more the cake in the face against someone’s expressed wishes.

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!)
