By fypfeed Community | 5 August 2025

The day of the groom’s weddingwas supposed to be an event of love, unity and joy, turned into a humiliation when an impromptu prank arranged by his bride and close family members made him shiver in rage and disbelief. What was meant to be an innocent joke has resulted in a bitter dispute sparking online debates on respect and intimacy as well as the boundaries in relationships.

The Prank That Crossed a Line

The bride, who posted his story in private on Reddit and recalled the time when he was blindfolded for the tradition of tossing gartersthe ritual where the groom removes a garter from bride’s leg and throws the garter to guests waiting for it.

Instead of his bride seated before him the groomsman was placed behind her. With the support of the bride as well as an event planner, the unassuming groom was directed toward his male friend’s legs as if that it to be his bride’s.

“On their instructions, I got down on my knees and began reaching for what I thought were my wife’s legs,” the man wrote. “Once I found the garter, I started to pull it down. Then I heard my wife say, ‘With your mouth! With your mouth!'”

The groom agreed but was surprised to discover a few minutes later that the leg was in no way to the bride, but for his groomsman. The incident, which attracted loud laughter from the guests was a humiliation for him.

“When I took off the blindfold, everyone burst into even louder laughter,” he recalls. “For an instant the whole excitement of the wedding was focused on me as the only person to be the focus in the poke. It felt awful.”

Trust Shattered on the Biggest Day

What transpired was not just lighthearted embarrassment, but a profound sense of loss. The groom told the media that this incident “destroyed” the trust and the intimacy he felt in his wedding.

“I tell myself sometimes it was assault because I was tricked into putting my mouth on another man’s leg without my consent,” the man acknowledged. “I can’t stop myself from replaying the incident repeatedly. I am constantly mad each time.”

Instead of soaking in the newlywed bliss The groom revealed that he was struggling to enjoy the celebration and had to force himself to smile for the camera. The honeymoon was also rife with tension.

“When I finally spoke to my wife how much it affected me, she apologized initially, but she then became angry. She now says I have to come over it however I am unable to. I’m afraid to go through the wedding photos, or write thank you notes. If it were tomorrow, I wouldn’t be celebrating an anniversary.”

A Divided Audience

The story quickly drew thousands of online comments. Many people sympathized with the groom, while others condemned the trick as cruel and insensitive. Some even suggested that the marriage was in danger prior to when it even began.

“That’s not a prank, that’s humiliation,” one commenter wrote. “She disrespected you in front of everyone and destroyed trust on day one.”

Others recommended counseling or separation, or perhaps legal actions towards the planner of weddings who recommended the ploy.

However, not everyone was awestruck. Some of them advised the man to “move on” and accused him of being too reacted to. “Wash the sand out and laugh it off,” one wrote in a blunt manner. The groom, trying to make a joke to show some humour, responded, “Ha. Fair play.”

A Wider Debate on Wedding Pranks

Wedding pranks aren’t new. From cake smashes to staged disasters couples and guests frequently try to add humor to the wedding ceremony. But these tricks can go beyond the boundaries of fun and embarrassment.

Experts in the field of relationship advise that any pranks that involve intimacyparticularly those that are made publicare a risk. “Humour can strengthen bonds when it is mutual,” said Dr. Lara Jensen, a psychologist who specializes on couples’ therapy. “But when one of the partners is not the one to be the victim of embarrassment in public the relationship is damaged and harms intimacy. It is very difficult to restore.”

The garter toss is under fire recently, and a lot of modern brides claiming it is obsolete or insensitive. Many critics say that imposing overtly sexually explicit rituals in a family gathering is becoming increasingly out of sync with the current standards.

Warning Signs or One-Time Error?

Some people think that the bride’s behavior is warning signs. “If this is how she treats him on their wedding day — prioritising laughs from friends over her partner’s dignity — what does that say about the marriage?” one Redditor asked.

Some think, however, that this could be a salvageable situation If the couple discuss the issue in a public manner. “The prank was wrong, no doubt,” another wrote. “But if both partners want to rebuild trust, therapy could help them process the event and move forward.”

For the groom the wounds are as if they were swollen. “I don’t want to hear about the wedding,” he said. “I feel like the day was stolen from me.”

Why It Resonates

This viral tale has struck a chord since it mixes humour intimacy and betrayal in an environment that is public. Weddings should be intimate moments, but often turn into a spectacle where friends and family members expect entertainment.

If jokes obliterate the sacredness of the event and cause lasting marks. “The need to perform for guests should never outweigh respect for your partner,” said Dr. Jensen.

Moving Forward

If the marriage will survive, it is uncertain. The groom acknowledges that he can’t endure being with the groomsman, and is struggling to contain his anger at the family members and his friends who laugh at the groom.

While online debates continue to rage there is a lesson to be learned from the wedding ceremony: prankseven if they are well-intentioned- can result in unexpected effects. While it may start out as fun, they can result in resentment or a fractured trust and perhaps even broken relationships.

This groom’s experience has been a traumatic one. his joyous memory has been replaced by a sense of humiliation He is left wondering whether the wedding was the beginning of a new partnership or the ending of one.
