wonderful animation and story, but am kind of sad for the dog though 😢😢😢
I know
Me too good like why the heck did he return the dog into a TV just why
Me either, damnit me...
Me too
same
Having kids is one of the things I think people got to agree on before getting married. Don't you think
I agree with you
i would say only if one person is dead set on it and the other is not because a lot of people are usually in a kind of "don't know, maybe" kind of stage and so you'll only truly know after being together for a significant amount of time
No, I dont think so.
Fr, people should both agree first
Absolutely, so many marriages end when one person wants them and the other doesn’t
If I had a nickel for every wedding cake-themed animated short I’ve run across, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
OMGG ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT PIECE OF CAKE😨😨 I'VE SEEN THAT ONE TOO. Funny how piece of cake was more wholesome
@@_fazgoo_6366 whoah, I saw another one so I too have two nickels
Wait you guys have seen "piece of cake" too???
SAMEE OMG
Me too! But it was gayer
I love how near the end with the credits pictures, it shows that even with imperfections and faults, you can make it work if you really do care. The real groom and bride got past that and made it work, while the cake toppers tried to cover up their faults and so much more. The symbolism behind it is incredible.
Absolutely! Covering up is chipping away at the relationship... even with the little things, that's actually where it starts.
I don't think so; it seemed to me the credits were foreshadowing that the real bride and groom would meet a similar end.
Moral of the story: think twice about who you marry, find someone you are compatible with, take time to get to know most of your partner, and establish an agreement on how the procedure will be and what belongs to whom when it arrives The divorce
generally should not plan to divorce who you marry
That wasn’t the moral of the story. The moral is, they tried to mold each other for their own selfish benefit. Also why the dude smashed the dog and turned into a tv for HIS entertainment. Neither did the husband or the wife wanted to put themselves last even for the dog. The dog as well wanted attention and had its own needs. But at the end everyone lost themselves. But if you still have the mentality of “ I’m going to marry a person who fits my every need” then you’re still mistaken.

@@sleepyninjarin7971 lol
I love how much symbolism there is in this, especially when towards the end, the groom tries to cover up the spill on the bride’s dress, showing that simply covering up your problems isn’t the solution. Then, at the end, when they’ve literally torn each other apart, it shows that the fact they weren’t able to confront their problems and find a proper solution, cause them to tear each other-and their relationship-apart.
You really understood the concept very well! I'm impressed 😳
It also shows their desires and their discontent with each others bodies and this is half due to being exposed to online media that makes each other look inadequate or not satisfactory compared to what they were viewing.
This is the exact kind of comment I was looking for. Thank you.
So what you're saying is that you can both truly love each other, but if you can not work through THE PROBLEM/S TOGETHER, you can end up tearing each other apart and missing out on a good thing because of ego and other reasons.
@memelitteredgames4960 oh wow, grate observation! So, how can we avoid this in modern relationships?
I love the detail in the film where the bride's declining love for her partner is symbolized by her trying to remove the stain. In fact, every time she tries to clean it, from that moment on, she becomes less in love with him, until the end, when she realizes her mistake and desperately tries to wash it away, a sign that she has definitively understood that the marriage is broken. Unfortunately, many relationships and marriages (a statistic indicates about 50% of these) are lived in this way, and I add, due to a lack of education about life.
Everything is all about marriage and how hard it is, this is amazing for new marriage people! THE POOR DOGGY
Love how the cake topper bride just gave the groom a peck on the cheek because she was expected to be okay with the spill, while the bride at the end looked at the spill, looked anoyed at the moment and then just went "What the hell, it's just a dress" and gave the groom a proper kiss because their relationship is what the wedding is all about.
Ikr a dress is a one time thing a good healthy relationship is forever
During the credits however show photos from the wedding that show similar behavior from the cake toppers though, that fortell that they will struggle together within their marriage as their confectionary dopplegangers. Differences on the baby issue- the groom showing affection towards a guest's baby, the bride looking distressed and uncomfortable when holding the baby. The groom prefering a different female body type- the groom's wandering eye towards the bridesmaids breasts.
@@Circa1628 yeah, it’s a struggle to figure out whether the cake toppers are an exaggeration of what will happen in the future to the real couple or if the real couple will get over these differences and live happily ever after. Which I think is great that people can have both interpretation, because that’s kinda how real life works. It either will or won’t work out, we won’t know for sure until we live through it. Though some things really should be discussed before marriage, like babies.
i really needed this explanation i hadnt noticed the difference and i got real sad thinking that the couple were gonna end up like the cake toppers 😭😭
The spill is more to represent the brides doubts about the marriage. She tries to scrub it off but it never goes away
Yeah, it was clear that the video was a foreshadowing of how the real couple’s relationship will go. Though I was sad that he killed the dog and turned it into a tv cause the dog didn’t do anything to him. Edit: Mom, I'm famous!
The real groom probably puts it in a shelter down the road
@@extremenugget1346 probably
It became animal abuse…
Nah, the real couple shared a kiss on the mouth and were so happy, that they didn't even care that the cake was destroyed. So I think it shows more the contrast of a happy married couple that put a lot of thought and time into their relationship and how the couple could have been if not or how couple in general end up if married to soon or without much consideration for their dreams of married life.
He asked for a baby, he got a fur baby, what would of happened he he did get a baby instead
4:50 its a good thing she chose not to have kids but also shows how even only offering they adopt a puppy only to apease his desire to be paternal when she cant even offer to take the dog for a walk her self, but also if he wanted to be a father and cant even take the dog for a walk, what kind of father would he be? even if you are highly religous, just do an extended engagement before you even start planning the wedding, make sure you know who you are going to marry, give it time for any act or facade to wear away before you get tricked into marrying an alias only to find out who the real spouse is only after the papers are signed. You can still be abstinant if you choose to, you can even just play house a bit with out spending hte night or sleeping in seperate bedrooms until the wedding night if you dont beleive in sharing a bed before being married, but too many folks are getting married not knowing who they are and then feeling unable to file for a divorce because of their religion. Also, even just spending the weekend days at each others residences, taking turns every other week for an extended time period would help those who are religious avoid divorce better.... Me personally Im an athiest so I dont have such worries, but just thinking logically how those who are religious can be more cautious with out sacrificing their core values.
Bro decided to write a factual essay
Honestly this is very good advice. I am religious myself so I will definitely take all of this into account and make sure I don't get stuck with the wrong person
I would like to comment on your point about the dog, This is how i saw it. I think the husband did care for the dog most of the time, but being the only one taking care of a pet that lives in both of yours home is unfair. I think it shows how much their values don't align, as the wife doesn't want anything to take care of and the husband wants to be a dad.
I was like okay! A good short comment describing the sce- OH GOD IM NOT READING ALLAT!
@@samulihelenius4538 the wife was cleaning the dishes/house chores when the dog wanted to go for a walk. i don't think it is unreasonable for her to ask the husband to help by taking the dog out
Everyone is talking about the dog but we are all just going to ignore 6:10😭😭😭😭😭

Yes
The cake couple just had a kiss on the cheek but the real couple had a kiss on the mouth. So unlike the cake toppers the real peeps clearly have a more healthy relationship and a better chance at a happy marriage.
Also how they weren't put off about their cake being destroyed. It wasn't about the cake; they were just happy to be there
Yeah, it's just a possible toxic relationship for the cake toppers. I'll believe that those two in real life can understand better.
You can only hope so.
yes
that doesnt really make sense but its up to the creator ig
I LOVE the wine on the wedding dress symbolising how their relationship was tainted from getting married. It was always a problem for the wife, who tried to wipe the blot away, but the stain was permanent. Meaning the commitment of marriage, and the expectations. Wonderful imagery to illustrate that getting married to someone who you aren’t compatible with can break the relationship all together.
To most people, it's just another one of those "lOL maRRiAgE bAD" scenarios.
He wanted a kid, she didn't want a kid. She was disgusted by the mixing tool, a symbol for the duties she would be expected to fill. He had no concept of how to act like a mature adult, looking at other woman and being goofy in a place he shouldn't. While there are a lot of signs to the issues they will face the imagery leaves me with another theory.
Ooooh I thought it was the lack of virginity, as some cultures see it as being “tainted”. Usually with blood being associated with it.
@@fake-king3837 многие не хотят рожать и это нормально. Но говорить о том, что ты не хочешь детей нужно до свадьбы.
Yes you're right
So well done, love to the animators!!! I am mesmerised by all the detail and great explanation without any words. Simply astounding! The morals portrayed are vital as well... 1. Talk to your partner about children BEFORE MARRIAGE. 2. Understand each other's values and boundaries. 3. Know when you've crossed the line and try to communicate clearly. 4. If a person doesn't love you, they won't try to change for you. 5. Friendship is getting to know someone without romance, pre-engagement is learning if your love is unconditional and romantic, engagement is knowledge that they're right for you and marriage is a life-long commitment based on genuine, relentless, gentle and beautiful affection, love and care. This is how it is supposed to be and everyone deserves this!❤💕😘
1:16 BRO KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING 💀
Nah💀
Bro dirty minded💀
@@VenessaJovanHolsonEvansbut he didnt say nothing bad
@@Enterthepassword no, as not even a minute later when building the house he makes a crib for a baby, which she declines, and makes the dog instead.

He killed the dog and made a mini tv out of it- I’m astonished 😧
Yes! Why aren't more people talking about this!!!
I was crying in that part
They did WHAT?!
Bruh is a monster for that
Maybe he sold it for a mini TV I hope
Never have I gasped so loud because he stepped on the dog...poor thing. On the contrary, this is a wonderful animation! Good job!

@@ItzGabz2023 Boo hoo poor baby, it's just an animated dog, grow up!
@@k.am_1iix It was just an animated dog, grow up.
@@Devil--Pro When you're ready, stop lying to yourself that hatred is all you crave
My jaw dropped at 5:00.😨This implies the real couple actually gets rid of, harms, and/or kills a real dog, as the couple's behavior in the credits is mirroring the cake toppers. A well done animation is one that makes you react, and this certainly made me do just that. Hopefully since the couple isn't confined to a cake box, friends and family can convince the pair to get help or therapy before things get dark.
Mine too
I think the real ones would be in a more healthy relationship since they kissed each other on the lips and not the cheek
Wow so the kiss on the lips meant nothing? Yeah you look dumb for missing that obvious change, real couple are not going to be exactly like the cake couple. No fake dog is going to die in the real couple's world.
Marriage is a wonderful thing, it symbolizes love and a start of a new chapter for a couple. Marriage is never awful, people are and it’s only awful when people who shouldn’t get married, get married. Why I personally think so many people have awful marriages is because some people don’t think about what it mean to be married. Another thing is being/not having a partner that is not ready or suited for marriage. Worst of all, is when couples don’t discuss having kids before getting married. I come from a big family that has lots of kids so I know how badly marriage turns out to be because of naive couples who don’t know the reality of marriage. I have cousins, aunts and uncles who still suffer because of their partner, and so do their kids. Divorce is not popular where I’m from and even when couples divorce, there’s still irreparable damage but it gets even worse when there’s kids involved.
Finances, goals, kids, pets; all are major decisions that need to be discussed well before the ring goes on, much less before you say _'I do'._ If you can't even discuss those rationally and come to reasonable, mutually satisfactory decisions together, you've got no business getting married.
Facts! I feel like tons of people forget to discuss big decisions like this. Its why tons of marriage end up in divorce.
WHAT THE HELL I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO CRY OVER A CARTOON DOG😭😭😭
please tell me you didn't actually cry...
Hey, cartoon dogs can make people cry really easily.
@@rainbowpuppet77 yeah animals are the purest things we got
@@poshgaming900 but it was like a 3 second clip of a fake dog like bruh that's like crying over spilled milk
@@rainbowpuppet77 imagine gatekeeping emotions, just because no one likes you doesnt mean we arent allowed to show empathy and compassion like normal humans do.
Children is something to discuss when you're still dating. When one person wants a baby and the other doesn't, your marriage is basically over then.
Moral of the story is COMMUNICATION. Both spouses tried to get each others attention, they both felt like they did nothing wrong in the marriage.
Yeah, you could tell with the kiss in the beginning that it wasnt going to be good. Really get to know someone for their character and faults. And have parallel life goals. It wasnt bad for the man to want a child but he married someone who wanted to be kid free. Those types of relationships will not work out. Talk about these things before getting married. If you find out your partner wants something different, it may be best to rethink the relationship. I had to do that when i found out my boyfriend of 6 years didnt want kids. Called it off. He can find someone who wants to be kid free.
6 years? wow… that must’ve been a hard choice to make… especially after being with someone for so long! how heartbreaking… that just sounds so painful… i can’t imagine! 😢 i would probably make the same choice, because having kids is important to me. i’m so sorry you had to go thru that. if you haven’t already, then i hope one day you find true love and happiness with your forever person! and that you get the beautiful family you always wanted.
@@sevynbones He is a good man and did love me but was hoping I would change my mind. Even after I made it very apparent. I'm irritated he wasn't honest but I won't hold my anger.
Как можно рожать ребенка тому, кто убил собаку?
the wedding cake husband definitely makes "I hate my wife" jokes
What is brilliant about this is the whole story seems to pretty much foreshadow that couple’s message without actually showing it in the ending scene.
6:20 i thought she was doing something else
She got his balls
awwh.. this is really sad, you can see moments where they genuinely seem to care about each other. it's sad they just aren't compatible in the important and big areas. what I take away from this is that love isn't just a feeling, if you want a marriage to last you actually have to be compatible too and work well together.
The beginign: aww they're so cute with eachother! The middle: NOOO THE DO- The end: wait.. if they have the same life as the.. NOOO THE DO-😊
I just like to think that the dog is still alive, it just became a mini TV :)
THE REAL LIFE DOG, IT CANT TURN INTO A TV
@@claragemheart581 but like.. still.
Cringe
In real life the dog would be….never mind…
5:38 I get that he is trying to appologize and fix everything and all... but you can't do thet to a frosting pupper and be redeemed.... Frosting John Wick is already hunting him down....
You're not wrong 🗿✏
Oh boo hoo, it's an animated dog, grow up!
I think the rule should be; If you can't handle them as your roommate, don't feel obligated to be married. You got to remember that we aren't carbon copies of everyone else, we all have different interests and desires. Marriage is an illusion that things are working in complete harmony all the time. If you can't come to terms with the fact that someone's needs are different then yours, marriage may not be the answer.
WOAH I did not expect the dog to be done so badly, poor boy... :( Moral of the story, be careful who you marry or your significant other might squish your doggo for a TV.
I love how all at once everyone got recommended this again. Saw it long ago but still enjoyed it… TV dog still is a sight though.
He… stomped the dog….
LIKE-
still one of my favorites, packs a lot of message into a cute little package.... litterally.
THE WAY I GASPED WHEN HE STOMPED THE DOG
Boo hoo, it's just an animated dog!
My jaw dropped the floor when he *spoilers* smashed the dog into a literal pancake
I literally cried when he killed the dog. I had to take a break from KZhead.😅😢😂 WHY WOULD HE KILL HIS OWN DOG???!!!
Yeah, my Jaw dropped too, and I was like omg noooo
5:02 bro what did the dog do?💀
Omg 💀
I don’t think you own a dog, pretty much almost all dog breeds like to bark and need attention, and the dog is annoying the husband.
@@MemerTheDreamer-nv9zb bruv that doesn’t mean he should kick him into oblivion…💀💀
@@ummsomethinORIGINAL ok ur right but atleast just kicked the dog AND NOT TUEN IT INTO A PORTABLE TV SCREEN
Everyone in this reply section don't even know why the dog was killed, it's sad. The cake dog was killed because the cake wife destroyed the cake tv because she wanted cake husband to take cake dog out for a walk, in revenge cake husband kills cake dog, and turns it into a new cake tv.
after 3 years I still can’t stop crying about the dog.
Over an animated dog? It's just a ANIMATED DOG, get over it and let it GO!
Rest in peace Puppy, just imagine if they had actually had a kid…..
6:58 Me: Loopity Loop- Wait, NOO- And yes, At least the dog is reborn as a Mini TV 🥲
Moral of the story: Make sure you’re on board with the other person’s life plans.
the charm that this animation has is just impeccable, its so nice
Dark but there’s a lesson. Tho you’ll fight there’s still a chance and a way to put it back together
or destroy each other
5:04 I screamed internally.
me to.
I was watching this with my dog and I started screaming whille hugging him so close he started to like my face and put his paws on my eyes to cover them I cried for an hour while cuddling with him
Reality of marriage, friendship, partnership that no one show us.
Who would do that to a dog😢😢😢
5:21 the stick tho 💀
THIS IS SO DAMN GOOD.
7:20 Where is bro looking 💀
Oh my💀
It's supposed to be a fake out, I believe as he (unlike frosting bro) is an actually good husband
@@Star.6739 im pretty sure the cake toppers relationship is foreshadowing of everything that's going to happen to this couple
The fact that he killed the dog to make another tv was sad
You know they are made out of cake so the dog is just watching under the cake
My only question is what kind of black magic was used to make that prophecy cake.
I have one thing to say about this : NOOO THE DOG WHYY DID YOU TURN IT INTO A TV HE DIDN’T DESERVE THAT 😭 but also good film really tells you about unhealthy Marriages.

@@G0OFYG0OBER I know there are others and many others I had told to grow up. Crying over an animated dog is not a thing anyone should do ever, an animated dog is not real and it shouldn't be cried over. Besides it's animated as a cake too, I think that actually makes this way worse over a normal animated dog.
THAT GIRL ALWAYS BE WEARING THAT DRESS
Guy: makes bed and winks Me: OH NO WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO *ends up just making a house
He just violated that dog.
i would pay for a cake that could predict the future
The way my jaw dropped when the dog was smooshed I started crying
How pathetic, all over a animated dog.
The actual couple was happy ❤
he killed the poor dog who just wanted to go outside and made a mini tv that's messed up
Yo the cake man literally created intelligent life and the cake lady made a bear specifically to kill it. What the hell.
I love how even though the wedding cake was ruined, they didn’t let it ruin their wedding day
If the man killed the dog on the wedding cake and it happened in real life......Dose the man kill the dog?

Boo hoo cry baby, it's just an animated dog, grow up.
Note to self if the cake toppers don't get along then I won't get married 😂
i think we're all skipping over that he KILLED THAT DOG
This was so amazing! A few thoughts from me: I love how’s it animated and the cake figures look so cute! I love the story behind it as well. Sometimes the bride get get so worked up on trying to plan her perfect wedding that the smallest thing can sometimes ruin her day or have a bit of conflict down the road. At the end when she got over it since it was just a dress and wanted to have a loving time with her hubby is truely what a wedding should be about. Babies are usually expected after getting married but I think its important to discuss with your spouse both before dating, proposing marriage, basically any VERY IMPORTANT STEPS because they could have very different ideas of a relationship and where they want to move forward. Sometimes they may want children at first but then decide maybe it’s not a good idea, or that financially they don’t want kids mixed in. Children should always be a blessing and something both parents should want, not forced so one if happy, so when she choose a dog, I was very happy to see he was ok with it. I do like the fact that they added the groom looking at another persons boobs because it’s very natural for guys EVEN IF THEY ARE MARRIED to look at other women and the same goes for women looking at men. The important thing is not to try and force your partner to become your dream partner. People can look but should understand they married someone based on different ideas and types. That doesn’t mean they want to cheat, it’s just human nature to look at people. As long as they don’t cheat, and still show their partner the same love and respect for each other, then they should be fine. Again great video! Loved it! Would love to see more videos like this or in this style!
The dog was a shock kill, and I hate it- The rest was pretty accurate for most marriages I've seen and come across.
Because of the comments of the dog being killed, I now refuse to watch the rest of this. I will not be crying at 4 in the morning…. I’ll finish watching it later 😭😭😭
Now you're going to watch it?
@@AmeliaBradford-lx2kx Well, now that you’ve said something I have to 🤣
As soon as 3:10 happened I said to myself "Sh!t bouta go down"
God bless the animation team ✝️🙏🏻❤️🔥
When I saw this animation from beginning to end. I kinda felt bad for the couple at the end as I thought this animation reflected on their relationship and to see them fighting it’s soo sad
It's kinda funny how they go on about their daily life without changing out of their wedding attires (cake variants understandable but real life counterparts not so).
I can't go on living like this, even cartoons are showing that we'll all be eternally unhappy.
We won't be eternally unhappy. That's not how it works, this is a toxic relationship, there are healthy relationships out there. Life is worth living, happiness is real.
Not every relationship is like this, heck, you're not even required to be in a relationship. Don't feel down, there is happiness, even if it doesn't feel like it.
Brilliant! I do believe most divorced couples, & sadly those couples will on their way divorce, can relate to this piece °~•.♡.•~°

Nah when he killed the dog and then turned it into a tv- I started crying 😭😭😭
during video, Panik low : 📉 doggy dies, Panik *HIGH* : 📈
I was so shocked about the dog im just cried for it 😢😢😢
When he squished the dog that actually scared me a bit 😟
No....the dog....I cried-
I CANNOT STOP WATCHING THIS IDK WHY THIS IS THE 36th TIME HELP ME
How many more times have you watched it after that post?
The dog was the saddest part. JUST WHY 😭
I don't care about the couple, I wanna save their dog!
How the hell are you just gonna try and cheer her up like you didn't just murder the dog.
Yall realize they dont really kill the dog. The icing sculptures is the way they talk and SYMBOLISM. The dog pretty sure was sold to get the mini tv
The fact that it's a symbol is even worse
One word. UNDERRATED.🤩❤👌
