Wedding receptions can be highly entertaining.
Whether it's a flash mob gone wrong, or a ridiculously awkward speech given by an inebriated best man, anything can happen with the combination of strong emotions and alcohol imbibing from among the celebrants.
But it takes one disgruntled wedding guest to ruin everything on the happy couple's special day.
One presumably wasted guest at a wedding reception absolutely destroyed the cake-cutting tradition in a viral video.
While the couple in the video didn't appear to engage in the disfavored tradition of smearing cake on each other's faces, the drunken guest succeeded in making a huge mess for them.
The clip starts with the groom preparing to cut another slice of the wedding cake to be served. He is then interrupted by the guy who shoves him aside and dips both hands into the cake.
The unruly guest then wipes his hands full of cake on the groom and bride's faces.
The video ends with the fearless prankster standing in front of the groom as if preparing to accept physically violent consequences.
Social media users commented on a missed opportunity.

Some found the reactions exhibited by the bride and groom odd.

And while the motivation for the mayhem was unclear other than being a prank, one commenter succinctly summed up the unwelcome calamity.
