Am I wrong, or is he being inconsiderate and Wedding cake tradition is hard for some brides to take DEAR ABBY: "November Bride" wrote; "My fiance insists that when we feed each other the first twb pieces of wedding cake, we should grind it into each bther's faces. We've seen this done at other w< he is adamant. immature?' You replied: "You're not wrong. And if your fiance is 'adamant' knowing how you feel, perhaps you'a better take a second look at him. Marriage to such a man would be no piece of cake." • p ci- . • < Abby, do you realizethat you advised this bride to consider not going through with the wedding over a trivial difference g| opimon? - Smearing each other's faces with wedding cake at a bridal dinner is all in fun. We did it at our wedding, and the picture we have of it in our wedding album is hilarious! What's the matter with you, Abby? Have you lost your sense of humor? JANUARY BRIDE DEAR BRIDE: My sense of humor is still intact, but unless both parties agree to the cake-smearing bit, it should not be done. There is more involved here than a "trivial difference of opinion" - it's essential that this bride realizes that she is about to make a lifelong commitment to a man who insiststhat she submit to something she considers stupid, disgusting, inconsiderate and immature. Read on: DEAR ABBSf: This is for "November Bride," whose fiance insists that they follow the "tradition" of grinding the first piece of wedding cake into each other's faces. * First of all, it is not "tradition^ The tradition is for the bride ahd groom to feed each other a bite of wedding cake to symbolize the beginning of sharing their food, their love and their lives with one another. The crude and ugly business of grinding cake into each other'; faces has recently become popular among young couples. Nov for my story: ~ At our wedding, my husband offered me a bite from a large piece of wedding cake, and before I knew it, he Had shoved the entire piece into my mouth! I was unable to swaHow it, and I couldn't talk. I very nearly choked before I could chew enough cake to breathe and drink something to washit down. I felt betrayed and humiliated, and there were tears in my eyes when the photographer took pictures of the event. The day that I had wanted to be perfect was marred with anger and resentment. ; Please print this. Ydu will be doing other brides a favor and • helping me, because I never told this to the man I married, j although I've always wanted him to know how deeply hurt I was • by the cruel and insensitive act. , ! DIVORCED A YEAR LATER DEAR ABBY: In recommending that a small-town newspaper editor leave bad news alone, you quoted his disastrous attempts • to correct a typographical error. On my side of the Atlantic, we have a pithier example tef the j same problem: ^ An editor apologizes to his readers: "We very much regret our error in yesterday's edition in which : we most unfortunately referred to the defective branch of the ' police force. We meant, of course the detective branch of the } police, farce." j A BRIT IN PASADENA; s ow - • . I Ruth Circle hosts UMW meeting !
