Jenny and Eric Ellard having their cake and eating it too! They look so young. 

One thing I really don't care for too much is the horrible custom, in my opinion, of shoving the piece of cake into each others mouths. They look so romantic with their arms laced together as they seemingly are going to share a small piece of cake, which by the way someone probably paid a hefty price for, and then out of nowhere, WHAM! they try to suddenly shove the piece down each other's throats! 

Who thought this idea up? "Let's start them off by instigating a brawl so we can see how they are going to handle unexpected crisis."

Was it the mother in law who told her little boy, 'Now, son, when it comes to giving her a piece of cake you just cram it in her face. That's what she gets for stealing by baby!'? 

Or maybe was it the father of the bride who told his little girl to smack him in the face so he knows what he's gotten into? 

All I know is what was a beautifully romantic moment turned into the Three Stooges. Oh, well so much for dumb wedding customs. 

I have a whole list of this stuff. Sad isn't it? Married life is like that sometimes. Everything is going beautifully and out of nowhere, WHAM! It's how we deal with the situation after the big WHAMO that matters.

How do you deal with unexpected crisis in your marriage?

By the way, it would be much more fun for the guests if we were allowed to start throwing a piece of cake too. Now there's an idea!
