Surprisingly Challenging! 4 Tips for Successfully and Adorably Juggling Multiple Part-Time Jobs*

Increasing Number of Couples Choosing Simultaneous Bites＊

The wedding cake's first bite is traditionally taken alternately by the groom feeding the bride and the bride feeding the groom, but a popular trend now is to share a "simultaneous bite," where both partners feed each other the cake at the same time♩

By feeding each other simultaneously, the message of "Let's work together and do our best!" embodies a modern, equal representation of marriage that resonates with today's couples＊

"Since we both work, the idea of not causing each other food troubles resonates more with us than the act of feeding each other."

"This meaning really represents us."

"Doing it one at a time feels embarrassing, and I want to use the time for other performances and conversations, so I want to finish it quickly with a simultaneous bite."

Many couples seem to choose simultaneous bites for these reasons.＊

But, Simultaneous Bites Can Be Challenging!

However! The truth is that when it comes down to actually doing it, simultaneous bites can be quite difficult... That's where the trouble lies.

For example:

✅ Since we both bring our spoons to each other's mouths at the same time, I ended up just looking at the cake I was eating and accidentally poked my partner's cheek with the spoon.

✅ My partner and I have different heights and arm lengths, so I had to stretch awkwardly to reach them.

There are many little regrets like these.

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce some tips for executing simultaneous bites beautifully and successfully to readers of marry＊

Tip 1 for Simultaneous Bites: Scoop as Little as Possible

During simultaneous bites, you need to balance "feeding your partner cake" and "eating cake yourself," so if the amount of cake is too much, you’ll be too focused on eating.

This can lead to not being aware of your spoon's position (you might move it awkwardly), making it difficult for your partner to eat...

Moreover, opening your mouth wide can make you look unattractive or greedy.

Therefore, the bride should use a smaller spoon, scoop as little cake as possible, and make sure it's bite-sized enough to eat neatly without having to focus too much on the spoon♡

Tip 2 for Simultaneous Bites: Keep Eye Contact with Each Other

The most important thing during simultaneous bites is eye contact!

If you focus on each other's faces and eyes while feeding each other, you’ll look adorable and seem close♡

And don't forget to smile♡

When you take a bite, widening your eyes a bit and expressing "Yum! So delicious!" will make it even more wonderful＊

Tip 3 for Simultaneous Bites: Don't Misjudge the Distance Between You

Another important aspect is your distance from each other.

If you are too far apart, you’ll have to stretch your arms out, and worst-case scenario is that you’ll have to lean forward awkwardly to eat, which can be quite embarrassing...

Conversely, if you are too close, it will feel cramped.

Find the most natural distance for feeding each other by practicing at home＊ (Going in without practice is risky ><)

A good guideline is to maintain a distance roughly equal to the width of a wedding cake.

Tip 4 for Simultaneous Bites: Don't Lift the Plate Too High

Finally, avoid lifting the plate you’re holding in your left hand too high＊

Sometimes, I see people unconsciously holding the plate right under their mouths, probably for when the cake falls, but it doesn't look very elegant!

The ideal position for the plate held in the left hand is around the chest level (or not holding it at all), so remember that＊

Execute Simultaneous Bites Beautifully and Adorably♡

Incorporate simultaneous bites into the reception performance instead of a first bite＊

Since simultaneous bites involve feeding each other and eating at the same time, it can be difficult to make it look graceful...

So, practice with your partner at home (recording videos, if possible), and study your ideal distance and eye movements!♡
