Groom's wedding cake blunder caught on camera as bride watches in shock
The moment a groom mucked up an age-old wedding cake tradition was caught on camera as his bride watched on in bewilderment.
Allie Downs and her husband Jake had just tied the knot when Allie discovered her new husband wasn't clued in on every wedding tradition.
As the newly married couple went to cut their cake at their wedding reception, Allie wasn't expecting Jake to make a hilarious blunder.

They cut into the cake together, then each took a piece. Allie expected to follow the tradition of feeding the first slice to her new spouse, but Jake had other plans.
Unaware of the custom, he took one look at his slice of chocolate cake and popped it straight in his mouth.

Meanwhile Allie looked on and laughed in shock, the awkward moment captured on camera by a guest.
In the clip, Allie can be seen mouthing something to Jake, though what she said isn't clear.
She must have given him a hint that he mucked up though, as Jake's face immediately shifts into an expression of shock.
Sharing the video to TikTok, Allie wrote of the moment: "Honestly thought he had seen the cake tradition at a wedding before!"

Fortunately for her groom, Allie wasn't fussed by Jake's blunder and laughed it off.
She later shared a second clip revealing that she and Jake "had their moment" after his blunder, feeding each other cake as Allie giggled.

The first video has since gone viral and has been viewed over 5.2 million times, with countless other brides chiming in to say that their grooms – or even they themselves – did the same thing on their big day.
"My husband and I both fed ourselves the cake and didn't think twice until a bunch of family members yelled at us," one revealed.
Hundreds of people also took to TikTok to compliment Allie on her stunning lace wedding gown, and her choice of husband.
"He is really cute and handsome," one wrote, another adding: "He gets a pass because he's gorgeous!"
Fortunately, it seems that Jake's blunder didn't give the couple any bad luck, Allie revealing that they're "still madly in love three years later."
