Now this is a massive no-no.
One bride was left distraught after a guest cut the wedding cake before the newly married couple.
A Mumsnet user told the story of a wedding she was at recently.
She said all was going pretty smoothly until later that evening at the reception. The bride and groom arrived there at 7pm and were due to do their cake cutting at 8pm. However, just before the main event they discovered the cake had already been cut by one of their guests.
It was a cake made of different cheeses which may have been the cause of confusion.
The post reads:
"Cake in question was a three tiered cake made of different cheeses. Surrounded by grapes and crackers/biscuits. No little bride and groom on top"
"An absolute war broke out about it. Half the people saying well, how were they supposed to know it was the cake, other half saying it was pretty obvious".
The guest added that:
"Cake was in a separate room to the bar and dance floor. Bride in tears (or tiers boom boom)".
"Around three or four people had taken some of the cake by the time they realised!"
Awkward!
