There are a lot of things that happen at weddings that are pretty typical and traditional. From first dances to speeches and even ceremonial things—we all know what to expect when we go to someone else's wedding.

One thing that many people do at their wedding is cut the cake and share it with each other before serving it to other people.

The cake cutting is a huge deal for some couples.

Many couples spend a ton of money on a big, fancy cake and they want to have it photographed and taken the memory of before just cutting it up and serving it.

Some people also decide to play a song to go with their special moment.

The wedding venue will wheel the cake out in the center of the room and even couples will have a "cake cutting song" where they both cut the cake together and then feed each other.

It's definitely a Kodak moment.

Many couples tend to stop and pose for memory-making photos alongside their cake, cutting it and feeding it to each other. It's a special time for the couple and it comes up with photos that you can look back on forever.

Recently, however, one TikTok user showcased that she doesn't know much about wedding cakes and traditions.

A TikTok user recently shared that she has no idea how weddings work it seems because she decided at her friend's wedding to get up and serve herself some cake.

She seemingly thought that they "forgot to serve the cake."

The girl showcased herself just going up to the table where the cake was, cutting herself a piece, and dancing while she put it on her plate, with many people watching.

The woman said she "hates herself" for doing it.

Clearly, not realizing she clearly ruined the bride and groom's special cake and moment, she said she "hates herself" for doing this with so much confidence and pride—not realizing her mistakes until later.

Many people said that they couldn't believe the TikTok user shared this.

Many people online said that they couldn't believe that the woman would even share this video on TikTok. They were shocked she would allow the world to see the huge mistake that she has made.

Others wondered why no one stopped her.

Some people commented asking why people would record her but not stop her from cutting the cake and straight up serving herself a huge slice. Some said that it was "a total disaster."

Apparently, one person was even at the wedding.

"This came up on my FYP and I was like, 'this cake looks familiar, this dress looks familiar'…and then I realized I was AT this wedding. Haha," commented another person, who didn't even realize they had been at this very wedding.

However, some said that they wouldn't care.

"As someone getting married in the near future I seriously wouldn’t care. It’s just a cake, who cares. People get way too uptight over weddings," shared another TikTok user.

Fortunately, the bride has forgiven her.

"As the bride whose cake this is - SHE IS FORMALLY FORGIVEN AND HAS LEARNED HER LESSON IN WEDDING ETIQUETTE," commented the bride on the TikTok video. We're glad to see forgiveness has been given.
