Weddings are by their very nature fraught with tradition, from the serious (swapping rings) to the playful. And at some point, couples decided to up the tradition of feeding the cake to each other by opting instead to smash the confection in each other's faces. 婚礼本来就有各种各样的习俗，严肃点的有互换戒指，也有调皮的（各国习俗不同）。（西式婚礼）有个习俗便是新人互相给对方喂婚礼蛋糕，但这种习俗后来却演变成了往对方脸上砸蛋糕。 "Newlyweds typically feed each other the first slice of wedding cake as a symbol of their commitment to provide for one another," says Rachel Sylvester, associate Real Weddings editor with The Knot in an email. "However, the symbolism is often lost and replaced with the tradition of smashing cake in each other's faces." 《爱结》杂志婚礼实况版的副主编瑞秋·西尔维斯特在电子邮件中说：“新婚夫妇通常都会喂对方吃的第一块婚礼蛋糕，象征着愿意和对方共度终生。但是，这层象征意义往往被遗忘，取而代之的传统是往对方脸上砸蛋糕。” |
