Traditions run deep at weddings, with strict rules about what to wear and long rituals. What happens, though, when a couple chooses to go against the rules? A recent wedding has caused a heated discussion on social media, with people having different thoughts on the groom’s unusual attire.
Someone on TikTok shared a video from her friend Catherine’s wedding, which is how the story started. Catherine seemed to have given up on love a few months before she found it again that summer. There were a lot of comments on Reddit after a picture from the video got there.
Catherine looked beautiful in the picture. She was wearing a traditional white dress with a veil and jewellery. On the other hand, her groom chose a much less formal outfit: a black t-shirt, pants and trainers. People on the internet spoke out right away, with some saying they were shocked and disappointed.
Some people thought that the groom’s clothes showed how committed he was to the marriage. Others supported the couple’s choice, saying that what matters most is that they are happy. Another person said, “They’re wearing what makes them happy, and that’s what matters.”
Tradition, individuality, and what really means in a marriage are all brought up in the debate. Some people might think the groom’s outfit is rude, but others think it’s a nice change from the norm.
What really matters is that Catherine and her groom are happy. As we enjoy their marriage, we are reminded that love comes in many forms and that it’s often the unusual choices that make a wedding truly unforgettable.
