Wedding cake slammed as ‘tacky' and ‘gross' as people predict the couple ‘will be divorced in two years'
PEOPLE say your wedding is one of the most important and happiest of days of your life.
But one couple might have started off on the wrong foot, at least that's what people think - and it's all because of their wedding cake.

This comes after their cake was shared on Reddit - and the design left people scratching their heads.
"My friend is a wedding photographer. Everyone thinks this is cute. I think it's gross," the caption alongside the snap of the cake read.
The cake didn't feature the classic bride and groom topper, but instead of standing side by side, the bride is dragging the groom away from his video games and snacks in her gown.
"Imagine spending 60k on a wedding and your groom would rather be playing video games," the Reddit user added.
It turns out they weren't the only ones who thought the cake was worse than tongue-in-cheek.
One commented: "All those 'ball and chain' references are so incredibly tacky and hurtful. If you feel like your life gets worse by getting married, don't do it."
And a second admitted they knew someone who took things to the next level, they explained: "They had a whole photoshoot with this theme.
"Most memorable were a photo where she is pulling him by the shirt as he tries to get away, and another of him clocking her on the chin while she smiles.
"Kept my mouth shut but in my mind I was thinking what the actual f**k."
And another chimed in: "My wife's family had this on their cake. Wedding song was Before He Cheats, food was a potluck, groom punched a guest and was taken by police. 10/10."
Georgia Steel slammed for wearing 'white' lace dress to Dani Dyer's wedding - with many stunned by her 'risky' frock
Meanwhile, others slammed the groom: "This is pretty damning for the dude."
"Imagine being proud of being a loser to the point that you want your f**king wedding theme to revolve around being a manchild who doesn't want to get married," they added.
And someone else bluntly wrote: "This tells me everything I need to know. They'll be divorced in two years, max."
But the couple aren't the only ones who were slammed for their controversial wedding cake.
Luckily, Annie Bennett, founder of Leading Lady Cakes, shared some of her top tips for choosing a cake for your big day.
She told Hello the price of the cake really depends on the size you're looking for, but remember to consider your budget, you don't want to get the most expensive cake and not have enough money for anything else.
'There's no set price list, and each baker will price their work according to their own set-up. Some bakers charge per person, but most will base prices on the size of the cake, the detail of decorations required and where the cake is to be delivered,' said Annie.
She added that it's usually the decoration that will increase costs, and that if you want a seven tier cake you should be prepared to fork out four figures.
You don't want a cake so small that you can't give everyone a slice, nor do you want a huge cake that you are still going to have slices of in your fridge months later.
The important thing is to cater to how many people you have invited - if you have 100 guests you will want enough for everyone to have a slice, including yourself.
And if you still have some left over, Annie has one tip for minimising food waste, 'ask the caterers to wrap any leftover cake, and then take it home and freeze it," she said, "you can then have memories of your wedding for up to three months after it!"
Don't do this if the cake has already been frozen and defrosted though.

Plane passenger's 'disgusting' habit mid-flight sparks fierce outrage
A woman on a recent Delta flight horrified fellow passengers after propping her bare feet without socks on the TV screen in front of her. Someone else on the flight snapped a photo of the bizarre and unhygienic moment and shared it to Reddit, where it quickly went viral. 'Jesus Christ…' they captioned the post, adding: 'Do I even need to say anything?' Though it's unclear whether she was using her toes to actually interact with the screen, the image showed her shoe and sock-less feet pressed against the in-flight entertainment system. It sparked widespread disgust online and reignited debates about personal space and airplane etiquette. The poster later responded to a comment, saying: 'She had them on the wall first and I was like, [What the f**k], but OK." Now they're on the goddamn touchscreen. Come on.' Some comments read: 'People are so disgusting,' 'Gross,' and, 'Flight attendants really need to start saying something.' 'I never wear shorts, short sleeve shorts, flip flops, or open-toe shoes on a plane... Ever... they are so incredibly dirty,' one user said. 'The bare feet people on planes is just gross… especially when they stick them on things,' another wrote. 'I can smell this photo. I'd be so upset if I had to sit near this,' a different user expressed. 'Where are the flight attendants? Did anyone complain?' someone else asked. 'Ewww no one wants to see toes in the air,' one person admitted. Someone else wrote: 'Absolutely THE F**K not. Why are grown adults so gross?!?!' 'Do flight attendants just not want to get into a fight or what? [In my opinion], it's perfectly reasonable to ask her to keep her feet off the... screen,' another user explained. Recently, insiders exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail the absolute worst ways vacationers can behave, from forcing other tourists to swap seats with them against their will to cutting their toenails onboard. The worldwide baggage shipping company Luggage Forward conducted a study of airplane etiquette preferences and found the worst offenders (in order) were talking loudly on a plane, playing a video or music without headphones, eating smelly food, taking off your shoes, and using both armrests. There are also massive personal grooming mistakes people make while flying, etiquette expert Genevieve 'Jenny' Dreizen, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, told the Daily Mail. One no-no is people toenail clipping or in-flight manicures, which Dreizen fittingly described as 'deeply unhygienic and very disruptive.' And no matter how comfortable it may seem, keep those shoes on. Dreizen believes that everyone 'should attempt to keep their shoes on for safety reasons because on a typical flight, there's really no need to take them off.' 'No bare feet on the seats or in the aisle, ever,' Dreizen said, adding, 'It's a plane, not your living room.'
