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. 2 2 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.

Brittany Hockley left heartbroken by 'burned pizza' wedding cake after paying $1,000 for culinary eyesore: 'We ordered from a French patisserie... and got Temu'
Brittany Hockley has been left broken-hearted after she shelled out $1,000 for a lavish wedding cake - only to be delivered a culinary disaster. The former Bachelor star, 37, married Swiss footballer Ben Siegrist in a clifftop ceremony in Bali last week. While Brittany's nuptials went off without a hitch, the genetically blessed couple were left red-faced at the reception when they came face to face with their 'Temu' sponge that looked like a 'four-stacked pizza'. On Wednesday, Brittany shared an image of the ornate sponge she ordered, complete with piped dollops of rich white cream and a vibrant topping of fresh berries, and an image of what was delivered to illustrate her heartache. Instead of the berry-laden showstopper she hoped for, the final product resembled 'four burned pizzas slapped together' - dull, brown, and uninspired. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The disappointing dessert left Brittany and her guests in shock. Brittany's co-host Laura Byrne did not hold back when describing the disaster on their Life Uncut podcast. 'I kid you not, this cake looked like a four-stacked pizza,' she began. 'It looked like someone had gotten four humongous supreme pizzas and layered them on top of each other,' she continued. 'It was covered in little cut-up strawberries which looked like tomatoes!' 'It was like we went to a French patisserie... and got Temu!' added Brittany. 'We tried to cut it, but it was so burned it just crumbled everywhere.' The presenter added she was so horrified by the cake she pleaded with guests not to take any photos of it. The couple's wedding took place last week at Pandawa Cliff Estate, which promises a 'dramatic and romantic clifftop setting overlooking the Indian Ocean' and stunning views of Bali's Bukit Peninsula. Brittany was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train. Brittany and Ben gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to Instagram. One showed Ben romantically embracing his new bride as he leaned in for a newlywed kiss. 'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images. 'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis.

Nick Knowles' new wife Katie shares new photos from wedding and has already changed her name on Instagram
NICK Knowles' new wife Katie has shared some new photos from this wedding - and she's already changed her name on Instagram. Nick, 62, and Katie, 34, said 'I do' in the same venue where Rylan Clark married ex-husband Dan Neal in 2015. 8 8 8 8 The DIY SOS star and the mum-of-two were all smiles as they posed outside the country house, with the bride showing off her chic style in a stunning blue and white gown. And they've given fans a glimpse into their big day and were seen enjoying their first slow dance together after exchanging vows at Braxted Park in Essex. Now, Katie, who has already changed her surname to Knowles on social media, has shared a string of stunning photos from inside their big day. She penned to her 90,000 followers: 'When you marry your soulmate.' Katie shared photos of her and Nick hugging on the dance floor, as well as some beautiful black and white images of them cutting their three-tiered wedding cake. She also posted sweet polaroid snaps with family and friends, and a fun photo of her and Nick posed in playful costumes against a floral backdrop. Fans flooded the comments with messages of congratulations. One person wrote: 'Congratulations to you both Katie and Nick I'm happy for you both,' and a second added: 'Gorgeous .. wishing you all happiness in the world.' A third said: 'Looks like you had the perfect day even though the buried sausage didn't work,' referring to the rainy weather. Fans also loved watching clips of the couple's first dance. DIY SOS presenter Nick was decked out in his pink jacket while lingerie boss Katie sported her elegant blue floral gown as they swayed and gazed lovingly into each other's eyes. Even the joker Nick couldn't resist having a laugh and busted out some twerking at the end while Katie jokingly shook her head. Katie then did an outfit change and slipped into a white mini dress with match trainers and a glittery hat. Nick clearly liked what he saw, removing his jacket and spinning it around over his head. And despite having to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing due to injury last year, Nick proved he's still got the moves as he spun his wife around the floor. Later the pair let their hair down further by downing shots with their pals. There was also lots of entertainment for guests, with a carnival dancer taking to the stage at one point. Later, a band performed songs for the merry crowd. Nick and Katie spared no expense on the big day, which is rumoured to have cost six figures. 8 8 8 8
