Smashing wedding cake into your new spouse’s face is one of those age-old wedding traditions that seems a little strange, but actually dates back to the ancient Romans who believed that breaking the cake over the bride’s head would bring good luck to the couple’s marriage and fertility. Nowadays, it’s a delicious way for the bride and groom to relax a bit and have fun on their special day. These 21 cake smashes were perfectly captured by the wedding photographer and truly represent the happiness and joy of the moment.
