People predicted the couple would end up divorced in just two years

This comes after their cake was shared on Reddit - and the design left people scratching their heads.
"My friend is a wedding photographer. Everyone thinks this is cute. I think it's gross," the caption alongside the snap of the cake read.
The cake didn't feature the classic bride and groom topper, but instead of standing side by side, the bride is dragging the groom away from his video games and snacks in her gown.
"Imagine spending 60k on a wedding and your groom would rather be playing video games," the Reddit user added.
It turns out they weren't the only ones who thought the cake was worse than tongue-in-cheek.
One commented: "All those 'ball and chain' references are so incredibly tacky and hurtful. If you feel like your life gets worse by getting married, don't do it."
And a second admitted they knew someone who took things to the next level, they explained: "They had a whole photoshoot with this theme.
"Most memorable were a photo where she is pulling him by the shirt as he tries to get away, and another of him clocking her on the chin while she smiles.
"Kept my mouth shut but in my mind I was thinking what the actual f**k."
And another chimed in: "My wife's family had this on their cake. Wedding song was Before He Cheats, food was a potluck, groom punched a guest and was taken by police. 10/10."
Georgia Steel slammed for wearing 'white' lace dress to Dani Dyer's wedding - with many stunned by her 'risky' frock
Meanwhile, others slammed the groom: "This is pretty damning for the dude."
"Imagine being proud of being a loser to the point that you want your f**king wedding theme to revolve around being a manchild who doesn't want to get married," they added.
And someone else bluntly wrote: "This tells me everything I need to know. They'll be divorced in two years, max."
But the couple aren't the only ones who were slammed for their controversial wedding cake.
Luckily, Annie Bennett, founder of Leading Lady Cakes, shared some of her top tips for choosing a cake for your big day.
She told Hello the price of the cake really depends on the size you're looking for, but remember to consider your budget, you don't want to get the most expensive cake and not have enough money for anything else.
'There's no set price list, and each baker will price their work according to their own set-up. Some bakers charge per person, but most will base prices on the size of the cake, the detail of decorations required and where the cake is to be delivered,' said Annie.
She added that it's usually the decoration that will increase costs, and that if you want a seven tier cake you should be prepared to fork out four figures.
You don't want a cake so small that you can't give everyone a slice, nor do you want a huge cake that you are still going to have slices of in your fridge months later.
The important thing is to cater to how many people you have invited - if you have 100 guests you will want enough for everyone to have a slice, including yourself.
And if you still have some left over, Annie has one tip for minimising food waste, 'ask the caterers to wrap any leftover cake, and then take it home and freeze it," she said, "you can then have memories of your wedding for up to three months after it!"
Don't do this if the cake has already been frozen and defrosted though.

M&S' new £3.80 picnic snack is even better than their £5.50 cult buy & here's more picky bits we guarantee will be a hit
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH summer in full swing and the weather heating up, there's no better time to stock up on picky bits. And luckily for foodies, M&S have really come through with a new selection of snacks that are perfect for warm days. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 With picnic season finally here, if you're searching for snacks that are mouth-wateringly good, you've come to the right place Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 Here, Abby Wilson shares her honest thoughts on the new M&S picky bits Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 You won't want to miss these new £3.50 dips Credit: Abigail Wilson 6 There's one flavour of crisps that's a 10/10, but another Abby would leave on the shelf Credit: Abigail Wilson So if you can't be bothered to cook dinner tonight and aren't sure what to buy that will leave you feeling satisfied, look no further. Not only has the new M&S Strawberry Sandwich proved a hit with many, but now, social media users are scrambling to get their hands on the brand-new viral crisps and dips which start at just £3. Following on from their previous viral dips, which included sell-out flavours - New York Deli Pastrami Dip, Chicken Caesar Dip and the Whipped Herby Greek Feta Dip - M&S have now added some new must-try versions to their fridges - and they are sure to get your mouth watering. Shoppers can now tuck into the Chicken Shawarma and Cheesy Ploughman's Dip, both of which are advertised as perfect for 'park days, picky teas and picnic vibes.' Here, Fabulous' Senior Writer Abby Wilson, a self-proclaimed M&S superfan, managed to fill her basket not only with the new delicious dips, but also a selection of other unmissable savoury winners. So if you can't decide which buys you should nab or leave on the shelf, you'll need to listen up, as this foodie shares her honest thoughts… M&S not only sell over 70million pots of nibbles and dips every year, but have since received the title of "the undisputed home of picky bits" and I can certainly see why. Calling all dip lovers - if you can't get enough of crisps and dips and are on the hunt for a new snack that's bound to go down a treat this summer, M&S have got you covered. I have one very simple word to describe the two new loaded dips - unreal. The Topped Chicken Shawarma Dip is spiced, creamy and succulent, while the Topped Ploughman's Dip is a yummy statement on a British favourite. I'm a die-hard Aldi shopper but I trialled M&S for a week, I was so surprised, I'll definitely be back Both of which are £3.50 and are certainly worth the cash - you can expect unique and unmissable flavours in dips you've never seen before on the high street. While the Chicken Shawarma dip contains marinated pulled chicken and tangy pickled red onions, the Ploughman's buy is full of chutney, tender pulled ham hock and crunchy silverskin onions. Not only are they great with crisps, but they're so good they could even work as a sandwich filler too. And it's not just loaded dips that M&S have nailed this season - there's also a collection of other dips that are spot on too. The new M&S buys you won't want to miss HERE, Abby Wilson shares her favourite M&S buys from their latest range of picky bits... Topped Chicken Shawarma Dip - £3.50 Topped Ploughman's Dip - £3.50 Labneh Dip - £3 Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip - £3.50 Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Black Truffle - £3.75 Mature Cheddar and Marmite Sausage Rolls - £3.80 Dressed Giant Butterbeans - £3.90 The Extra Smooth Houmous is just £3 and is one of the nicest I've tried - it's simple but packed with flavour and very smooth. Meanwhile, the Middle Eastern-inspired Labneh Dip has a vibrant basil and mint dressing and is crafted with creamy strained yoghurt. It's brilliant with breadsticks and is almost too good - so if you're trying to watch your waistline, buy it at your own risk. Another dip that gets a solid thumbs up from me is the Roasted Red Pepper and Walnut Dip. It's quite similar to M&S' other new dip - the Roasted Red Pepper and Aubergine Dip (both of which are £3.50 each) - but the walnut version takes the top spot thanks to its rich, nutty flavour. I have one very simple word to describe the two new loaded dips - unreal Abby Wilson And if you want crunchy crisps that not only scream luxury but will pair perfectly with these dips, M&S have got you sorted. While I wasn't a fan of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Serrano Ham, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps with Black Truffle are delicious. They have a strong taste of truffle but are not too overpowering, and get a solid 10/10 rating from me. The crisps are also available in Mediterranean Sea Salt, which have a pretty average taste but I believe will be a crowd-pleaser. The crisps are all £3.75 a bag, so they're certainly not cheap, but they're said to contain 'exceptional-quality potatoes', which ensure delicate, golden crisps, that are great for dipping (or dunking in my case.) The nation's most peculiar food combinations revealed Brits reveal unusual food combinations that are so wrong, they feel right Research by LNER claims that a whopping four in five Brits experiment with unusual flavours, and almost a quarter have a 'guilty pleasure' when it comes to unconventional food combinations, Crisps and chocolate Cheese and chocolate Crisps in jam sandwich Chips and milkshake Cheese and bananas Apples with salt and pepper Avocado and chocolate Popcorn and hot sauce Tuna and marmite Gherkins and peanut butter Next up in the chain's new summer snack selection are the Mature Cheddar and Marmite Sausage Rolls. I was so surprised by these - I'm not a fan of Marmite, but these are truly phenomenal. The cheesy flavour is out of this world and the sausage isn't gristly like many supermarket sausage rolls often can be. They're so good I scoffed one in a matter of seconds, but could easily eat the whole pack in just a few minutes - and at £3.80, while they're not that purse-friendly, they're certainly worth every penny. As well as tasting divine, if you ask me they're actually better than the cult favourite 'Best Ever Sausage Roll', which is also from M&S and sets shoppers back an eye-watering £5.50. The Dressed Giant Butterbeans is a random idea but it definitely works Abby Wilson But the M&S deluxe picky bits don't stop there - shoppers can also nab the new M&S Grilled Turkish Green Olives and the Spanish Mini Fuet (a type of pork sausage) and Cheese. They're tasty but both pretty basic and I'm not totally convinced I can say they're worth £4 and £3.90 each. Meanwhile, the Dressed Giant Butterbeans is a random idea but it definitely works. If you hate parmesan and can't stand garlic then these aren't for you, but if you want something that's rich and perfect paired on a platter with pork pies and cold cuts of meat, this £3.90 should go straight in your basket. But you'll need to move fast if you want to stock up on these picky bits, as like all M&S finds, once they go viral on TikTok, they're sure to sell out quickly.

PS5 consoles could break from hidden flaw claim fans playing latest game
The PS5's overheating issue seems to be getting worse, although the most recent problems may be the fault of one specific game. Death Stranding 2 launched last week for the PlayStation 5 and while Kojima Productions has yet to share sales figure, the prestige of director Hideo Kojima and the success of the first game makes it one of the biggest new games of the summer. At the same time, word is spreading that the game is causing some PlayStation 5 consoles to overheat, prompting demands for a patch to fix the issue. However, some suspect that the PlayStation 5 itself is at fault, as a problem that's been known about for years is believed to be getting worse. For context, the claims of Death Stranding 2 overheating consoles started with this Reddit thread. A Redditor named mudman2018 claims they're running the game on a base PlayStation 5 and have received overheat warnings when they have the map open. 'It's strange because everything else runs smoothly, even during long gameplay sessions. But the moment I bring up the map and start planning a route, the fan suddenly goes crazy and I get an overheating warning,' they say. Plenty of other players report the same thing happening to them when using the map. They are also insistent that the issue lies with the game and not their console, with fans like iamthepower and Connorpreferspc saying they keep their console clean and in a well-ventilated area. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. What's more, some report that this is happening on the Slim model too, and even a couple of owners of a PS5 Pro say their console gets hotter than usual. That said, it's unclear how widespread the issue is. The Reddit thread only has 62 votes, and we can confirm that we never experienced overheating during our play sessions. We played it for over 50 hours (much of that during the intense heatwave of last weekend) and you have to use the map a lot, so if the problem was that common we should've seen some sign of it. Unless Kojima Productions acknowledges the issue and offers an explanation and/or fix, it's entirely possible the fault lies somewhere else. Apart from the current heatwave in Europe, it could also have to do with a known design flaw in the PlayStation 5. A couple of years ago, multiple tech experts reported on instances of the liquid metal used for cooling dripping onto other components when the console is stood vertically (the console we were playing on was horizontal). This was a fairly uncommon issue at the time but just last week, Matthew Cassells, founder of Alderon Games, claimed it's become more prevalent, while speaking during an appearance on the Moore's Law Is Dead podcast. According to Cassells, more and more PlayStation 5 owners, including his fellow team members, have reported instances of overheating when playing Alderon Games' Path Of Titans, a dinosaur themed MMO survival game. Cassells said he got in contact with Sony and learned that because of the liquid metal issues, more intensive games have a higher chance of causing the PlayStation 5 to overheat and shut down. More Trending He added that roughly 3% of Path Of Titans' player-base has been affected by the issue, which reinforces that it isn't widespread, but Cassells expressed fears that a lot of PlayStation 5 consoles could still end up dying within the next couple of years. Sony has apparently tried to mitigate the issue with the Slim and Pro models, and it's been advised that everyone rest PlayStation 5s horizontally or at the very least ensure they use the console's stand if keeping it vertical. It's possible this is the true culprit behind the Death Stranding 2 problem, but some claim the issue can affect horizontal consoles and even newly bought consoles. As it stands, the true cause may remain a mystery unless a new patch drops, but if it is an issue with the hardware itself then this summer may expose the issue for even more people.

The lookalike daughters with famous mums – can you guess who's related to who?
Plus, the star who confiscates her daughter's revealing clothes - then wears them herself DOUBLE TAKE The lookalike daughters with famous mums – can you guess who's related to who? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE phrase 'like mother, like daughter' is certainly true for a number of gorgeous celebrities and their glamorous daughters. Jessica Alba's teenage daughter Honor, 17, stole the spotlight at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's headline-grabbing Venice wedding, and threatened to upstage her 44-year-old mum in a nude-coloured dress.

In fact - one of the hottest trends among famous mothers is twinning with their lookalike daughters for social media snaps and A-list events. So, can you recognise who each of these rising star daughters is related to?

Signed by Storm at 16, Lexi's natural beauty has drawn comparisons to her famous mother, particularly when they twin on the red carpet. Proud mum Amanda, 54, has nothing but praise for her lookalike daughter. She previously gushed: 'She has a very natural beauty — she just looks stunning.' While Amanda is known for her daring wardrobe choices on Britain's Got Talent, she admits to keeping a close eye on Lexi's wardrobe for anything too revealing. Although she joked that anything confiscated she wears herself. A family photo from Greece - with mum Judith, 72, and other daughter Hollie, 13, - showed the good looks run deep with four generations of beauty in one snap.

However, her daughter Lila, 22, whose dad is Jefferson Hack, the co-founder of Dazed Media, is quickly becoming a standout figure in the fashion world. Following in her mother's footsteps, Lila has already walked the runway for major designers like Miu Miu and Richard Quinn, solidifying her place as a catwalk rising star. Her career began at just 14 — the same age Kate was discovered — and she's continued to flourish ever since, earning high-profile gigs with top brands. By 16, she was named the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty, landed her first solo Dazed Magazine cover, and featured in Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2020 campaign.

Now 26, Phoenix has paid homage to her Spice Girl roots by recreating iconic looks from Mel's past, including her gold two-piece from the Spice World poster. She's also channelled her mum's patchwork bikini top and trousers from Spice Up Your Life, proving the Scary Spice legacy lives on. Raised by Mel after her split in 2000 from first husband Jimmy Gulzar, Phoenix is now carving her own path as a model and entrepreneur.

Sophia, daughter of Canadian footballer Paul Peschisolido, has been modelling since the age of 21, when she landed a Topshop campaign back in 2017. She later became a face of PrettyLittleThing and lingerie company Boux Avenue, and developed life as an influencer - with proud mum Karren even becoming her photographer when lockdown forced her to work from home. The campaigns made her in-demand for reality shows, especially Love Island, but she always turned them down. "I've been asked to go on it twice but I've turned it down," she told The Sun back in 2020. Now Sophia, who shares son Leo with fiancé Frankie Makin, is now preparing to hand the genes to a second baby, after announcing she is pregnant in April. Sienna Miller and Marlowe 21 Sienna Miller's daughter Marlowe Sturridge is all grown up - and looked like her famous mum in London at a Bridal Ballerina Breakfast in London Credit: Getty 21 Sienna brought her daughter to New York Fashion Week in 2023 Credit: Getty Sienna Miller's daughter Marlowe, 12, looked all grown up as she attended Sienna's sister Savannah Miller's Bridal Ballerina Breakfast in London in April, with the pair accompanied by Sienna's partner, Oli Green, 28. It wasn't Marlowe's first foray into fashion; as she previously sat front row at Proenza Schouler during New York Fashion Week. Back in 2015, Miller reflected on the profound impact of motherhood, telling The Observer: 'I think having a baby really changed everything, if I'm honest. 'I think that's where it began. The stakes are higher. You have someone that you want to be proud of you eventually.'

Born in 2004 after Heidi's split from Formula One executive Flavio Briatore, Leni was later adopted by Heidi's ex-husband, singer Seal, who also fathered her three younger siblings. Leni often mirrors her mum's style, recently teaming up with her for a bold, colourful cover shoot for Dutch Vogue in matching tailored suits. Their joint Intimissimi lingerie campaign sparked online criticism, with some calling it inappropriate and 'sexualised' - but Leni defended the shoot, calling it 'an amazing day' and a moment she 'loved' sharing with her mum. Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple Martin 21 Apple Martin is becoming a star in her own right Credit: Rex 21 The 'Apple' doesn't fall far from the tree for Gwyneth Paltrow and lookalike daughter Credit: Rex 21 Fans regularly gush over the likeness between the two women Credit: Instagram The 'apple' doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Gwyneth Paltrow's 21-year-old daughter. Actress and singer-songwriter Apple Martin has previously shown she has a talent for music just like her dad, Chris Martin, after helping to write Coldplay's album Music of the Spheres last year. Fans previously gushed over Apple's uncanny resemblance to her famous mum, after the pair attended an event hosted by Goop, Gucci, and Elizabeth Saltzman in the Hamptons, New York. Gwyneth split from Chris in March 2014, famously calling the break-up "consciously uncoupling."
