A bride will usually expect to receive plenty of nice compliments on her wedding day, especially from her new husband.
However, unfortunately, one newly wedded woman says she had a nasty shock after her groom began making jokes about her appearance during his speech.
The 30-year-old woman, who says she’s always had issues with low self-esteem, claims her husband jested she looked “like a department store mannequin with that makeup on her face”, right in front of their laughing guests.
She says she was left “dumbfounded” by his comments and ended up giving him a stern ticking off in front of his parents. Three days later, they are still not on good terms.
Taking to Reddit, the unnamed bride – who goes by the username u/Face-Abstract7679 – recalled: “I’m an introverted, anxious, socially awkward type of person which makes it worse. I got introduced to make-up during my late twenties and it’s now become both a source of income and a source of self-confidence and esteem.
“My now husband always teased me about it, mind you he’s a jokester and is a bit on the sarcastic – brutally honest side. I didn’t have an issue as long as it was done privately, meaning private teasing.”
She added: “At our wedding, I went a bit out of the box when it came to makeup, but it looked matching and fitting obviously. My husband didn’t stop commenting on it during the wedding.
“I was beginning to get annoyed but when it was time for his groom speech. He looked at me and then said, ‘…and my wife here who looks like a department store mannequin with that makeup on her face…’
“I was dumbfounded. Guests started laughing at me loosely. I felt so much rage I didn’t know how to contain it.”
