Martin Short’s Wedding Cake Mishap
During Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding, Martin Short humorously revealed a significant mix-up with their wedding cake.
Quick context
The wedding, held in September at Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, California, was a star-studded event attended by celebrities like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Paris Hilton. Short, well-known for his role in Only Murders in the Building, was excited to celebrate with Gomez on her special day.
The cake incident
In speaking with Jimmy Kimmel, Short recounted the moment he mistook the wedding cake for a smaller dessert meant for a nearby seating area. “There were big, big tents and at the back of the tents were these individual seating areas with couches and chairs,” Short explained. He assumed there was a wedding cake for each section, and as the hours passed without anyone cutting the cake, he grew anxious.
Short’s attempts to ensure comedian Steve Martin, who was preparing to leave, would stay resulted in him trying to cut into what was actually the wedding cake. “Then all the people in our group then shouted ‘MARTY!'” he recalled. This unfortunate slip occurred about an hour before the cake was supposed to be presented.
Reactions and resolutions
Short’s group alerted the wedding coordinator to the mishap, prompting the chef to “perform surgery” on the cake. Short humorously commented that it was a “Hollywood wedding cake” after all, as it was beautiful but required a bit of repair.
Even though he didn’t initially tell Gomez about the incident, she found out later. As Short was leaving, she playfully approached him and remarked, “Hey Marty, I heard you tried to eat my cake.” This exchange shows that Gomez found humor in the situation, turning an embarrassing moment into a light-hearted memory.
Conclusion
While the incident might have put Short in a compromising position, it certainly makes for a memorable story. With such a close bond between the stars, moments like these add a personal touch to their relationship, showcasing the fun and unexpected nature of wedding celebrations.
