A bride has told her husband she wants a divorce just one day after the pair tied the knot – because of a bizarre and disrespectful stunt he pulled at their reception
Getting married is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life, but for one bride, her big day was completely ruined when her new husband pulled a bizarre and disrespectful stunt that left her feeling “violated”. In fact, the bride was so horrified by her partner’s actions that she refused to look past what he’d done – and called for a divorce the next day.
The woman explained she had “one rule” that she didn’t want to be broken on her wedding day, as she told her husband she didn’t want him to rub the wedding cake in her face when the time came to cut it. But instead of respecting her wishes, the groom did something even worse, as he grabbed her by the head and pushed her face-first into the cake.
In a message sent to Slate’s Dear Prudence advice column, the bride said: “I got married just before Christmas and am hoping to be divorced or annulled by the end of January. I never cared about getting married, but I wasn’t opposed to it. So when my boyfriend proposed in 2020, we decided to go for it. We each took on about half the responsibility for organising the wedding, but I think I was pretty reasonable about compromise when he really wanted something.
“My only hard-and-fast rule was that he would not rub cake in my face at the reception. Being a reasonable man who knows me well, he didn’t. Instead, he grabbed me by the back of the head and shoved my head down into it. It was planned since the cake was destroyed, and he had a bunch of cupcakes as a backup.”
