My groom smashed my face into the cake during the cake cutting as a "JOKE" – I was on the verge of tears when my brother stood up.
When I introduced my fiancé, Ed, to my family, it was only to my mom and my older brother, Ryan. My dad passed away when Ryan and I were still kids. They liked Ed, and the wedding for 120 guests was being planned.
On the big day, everything felt perfect: my mom beaming in her seat, Ryan in his suit, and Ed grinning like the luckiest man alive.
I felt like the happiest girl in the world!
When it came time to cut the cake, I imagined a sweet, Pinterest-worthy moment — our hands together on the knife, the first slice shared between us. Instead, Ed grinned and SMASHED my face into the cake.
The crowd gasped.
My veil, my dress, my makeup, my hair — all ruined.
I froze, humiliated, a lump forming in my throat, feeling that from the shame, anger, and sheer disbelief of it all, I might burst into tears any second.
Some guests chuckled awkwardly. My mom covered her mouth. Ed laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world, swiping a smear of frosting from my cheek and tasting it. "Mmm. Sweet," he said.
That's when I saw my brother suddenly push back his chair and stand up sharply, his jaw tight. What he did next, no one in that room could have predicted. The entire hall went dead silent. ⬇️
