There are a few things every woman wants on her wedding day. She wants the perfect dress, the ideal venue, and the right people around her. Whether she's getting married at a Medieval church, a rustic barn, a beach, or the courthouse, she's going to want at least the bare minimum in terms of support. To be honest, she'll probably want more than that, but that's totally normal. 

On a base level, a groom should be supportive of his bride during the wedding process. Weddings can be extremely stressful, and women need their partners to be on their side. Most brides cannot even imagine a reality where their husbands are not only unsupportive during the wedding but also don't think they look beautiful. This is the unfortunate reality for the wife of one Redditor, who told his bride that she looked "weird" with so much bridal makeup on. Cue the underwhelming wedding night.

My 32M i've dating Sarah 29F for over 2 years i love her to death and she means the world to me, also she is a person who is comfortable with her skin and doesn't use a lot of makeup which i really adore about her and we always tell the truth to each other no matter what.

    Font - Yesterday, was our wedding and the moment i saw her there i was shocked she used a huge amount of makeup that i barely recognized her without hearing her voice. She saw my facial expression that i was acting a little out of the ordinary and she asked me what's wrong? I told her that it's nothing but she looked a little weird with all that makeup in her face.

    Font - However, when we went home she started to give me the cold shoulder treatment, i told her what's wrong and she said it's nothing and she doesn't feel well and she is tired etc.. To be honest i think she's hiding something and that got me wondering if what i said may be the reason? So aita?

    Font - MyMorningSun • 15h This just sickens me to think about. The wedding anxiety and pressure on women is already so real and so toxic...even for brides who don't care much about appearances, traditions, or even "cheesy" romantic stuff, the pressure is on 24/7 to be absolutely perfect and you get scrutinized by EVERYONE. It's hard, even for confident women, to avoid the constant nitpicking of every physical imperfection and not let it get to you. I thought even I'd be immune to it, but it wear

    Font - - 18h Asshole Enthusiast [5] SecretTimeTrash 7 Awards YTA - but it's an honest mistake. Lemme be clear... LOTS of women overdo the makeup and look like totally different people on their wedding day. They do a lot of things they don't usually do on their wedding day, because it's one day that a lot of them have dreamt of and they want it to be perfect. Your job was to tell her she looked beautiful, no matter what, and say "I do."

    Font - Congratulations just the same. I got married over the weekend, didn't even have a wedding, and it still got dumb. Weddings and funerals are always hard to navigate because emotions are high and people are human. I recommend just telling her how lovely she was yesterday, and if she says anything about you having said she looked weird, you tell her it was shock from how beautiful she was and nerves from the big day and that you went stupid for a second, and then you tell her she was gorgeou

    Font - cb1977007 • 18h Partassipant [1] There's an entire genre of wedding videos to capture the groom's (presumably pleased) "first look" at the bride. Your "first look" resulted in you telling her she looked weird. Congratulations. You ruined her memory of her wedding. YTA Reply ... 870
