For most, a wedding day is a deeply memorable occasion, marked by love, happiness, and often careful planning and investment. Many couples spend considerable time and money to make this day as special as possible, believing it deserves the best effort.
However, not everyone feels the need to put on a grand show for this event. Such was the case for a groom who recently raised eyebrows online for his casual approach to wedding attire.
A TikTok user recently shared a video from her friend Catherine’s wedding, revealing Catherine’s transformation from a non-believer in love to a bride head over heels for her partner. The user explained that Catherine once doubted she’d ever find someone, but this summer, everything changed.
On her big day, Catherine looked radiant in a stunning wedding gown, complemented by jewelry and professional makeup. She put thought and care into her appearance, wanting to look her best. Her groom, however, arrived in a black T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers, creating a striking contrast between the two.
The difference in their attire sparked a lively discussion online, with many people sharing their thoughts on not only the couple’s clothing choices but also their future together.
A photo of the couple was shared on Reddit, captioned, “Groom’s wearing jeans at a fancy wedding.” Some commenters saw the groom’s attire as a reflection of his attitude toward marriage.
“This probably shows how much effort he’ll put into the marriage too,” one person remarked.
“I wonder how long this marriage lasted. She looks fantastic, while he looks like he couldn’t care less,” another wrote.
“He’s setting the tone—she’s in for a life where he doesn’t give a f— about her,” a third person agreed.
Yet, some defended the groom’s outfit, suggesting there may be more to the story.
“She looks absolutely beautiful, and maybe they each chose what they were comfortable with. I wish them both the best,” one commenter shared.
“Maybe she chose a formal look, and he wanted to wear something from their early dates. If they’re both happy, that’s what matters,” another speculated.
“If they’re happy, who cares? If he genuinely didn’t make an effort, then it’s sad, but that’s between them,” wrote a third commenter.
What do you think about the groom’s choice?
