Why was this declined?!
I submitted a legitimate Goof and it was declined with no specific reason noted other than, "Does not meet contribution guidelines."
It would be great if an IMDb reviewer could let me know what is wrong with what I submitted. I have read hundreds of other Goofs and I am really at a loss as to why this "Does not meet contribution guidelines.". What I wrote is factual, it's not inappropriate or anything, so please shed some light on this IMDb.
In the opening scene when the father of the bride talks about a special knife he and his wife used to cut their cake is completely inaccurate because there is no such tradition in any of the ex-Soviet republics. Although in modern times this has been adapted, but when the father got married, during Soviet times, there's no way they would have been cutting a cake with a "special" knife. During those times and following an old tradition, the most they probably did was break off a piece if sweet bread loaf with their hands and whoever broke off the biggest piece would be the head of the household.Factual Mistake

Hi @vera -
By adding the part of what could have 'probably' happened, it removes the factual explanation, hope that makes sense. If you change or remove that part you should have no problem so feel free to resubmit.
Cheers!
