Groom’s honest confession about bride’s appearance leaves wedding guests at a loss for words
Weddings are supposed to be a joyous affair. However, things took an unexpected turn on one such occasion when the groom made an honest confession about his bride. He said his future wife didn’t fit his "physical type," leaving the guests perplexed. This post was recently shared on Reddit by r/weddingshaming, and has since sparked intense reactions from viewers, who believe the groom went a step too far. If one thing's clear, this was far from an ordinary wedding toast.
The post read, "We were at a very small wedding where the groom was speaking and he happened to mention that his new bride wasn’t his 'physical type’. People around us started whispering, and even I thought I had misheard. I couldn’t believe it." The person further wrote, "My boyfriend thought that the guy was just so nervous he started saying unfiltered comments that should have just stayed in his brain." However, it's not known how the bride responded to the harsh comment or when exactly the groom made the remark, as reported by People Magazine.
Meanwhile, social media users unanimously agreed that a comment so deeply personal and hurtful is never appropriate. One Reddit user, u/Capable-Tonight4156, commented, “Some thoughts are meant to only be that...thoughts. There are certain things that, despite how true they may be, shouldn’t be said out loud just for the sake of decency and respect.” Another person, u/Sad-Blacksmith-3271, joked, “Did the judge sign off on the annulment yet? That's something you don't say out loud, especially at your wedding.”
Several others also shared their experiences as one person, u/justcherie, commented, “My husband used to tell me that I wasn’t his usual type, but he decided he wanted to date someone nice for a change. It’s worked out pretty well so far after 32 years of marriage. But thank goodness he didn’t say that at our wedding.” Another Reddit user, u/Timely-Way-1769, wrote, “I’ve dated so many men who had some issue with my weight. At the time I was dating them, I was a size four. I killed myself in the gym, starved myself for years, and yet it was never enough for them. I was thin but a bit more muscular.” u/bonetugsandharmony8 also shared, “My husband's best friend's new bride said in her vows, 'Even though you aren’t my type, I fell in love with you.’ I cringed so hard.”
Meanwhile, in another incident, just minutes after getting married, a bride in Kuwait demanded an annulment. The decision came after her husband called her “stupid” when she stumbled while exiting the courthouse. As per the reports, the couple were legally married for just three minutes, setting a record for the shortest marriage in Kuwait’s history, as reported by Metro. Though the decision was made in a moment of anger, she knew that putting up with such criticism would only hurt her in the long run. The bride's decision led to people applauding her for standing up for herself and walking away from the unacceptable behavior of her partner.
