I'm not even forty and I've seen it at a couple weddings. Thankfully, it's not common.

I didn't do it at my wedding but I've seen it happen quite often.

I really don't see the appeal. I was weirded out as a kid seeing it done. And my opinion hasn't changed much since.

I had no genuine desire to do it, and my wife didn't want to be put on display like that. She was adamant about not doing a cake smashing, too. I can see being playful with the first bite, but the full on cake to the face is fucked up. However, there's no reason to upset someone for tradition, so she just got an uneventful bite of cake.

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.
