Wedding officiant sparks uproar after making 'tacky' comment about groom's appearance A Reddit user revealed that the officiant made a comment about the groom The comment was about the groom's looks and he also talked about himself READ MORE: Famed author reveals the surprising marker of good parenting By JANE HERZ FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 20:55, 21 November 2024 | Updated: 20:56, 21 November 2024 e-mail 8 shares 2 View comments A wedding guest has revealed that the ceremony's officiant made a strange comment about the groom's appearance - and it turns out that it's something that might be happening more often than not. In a new post this week on the Wedding Shaming Reddit thread, a guest told a harrowing story about what happened when they attended someone's recent nuptials. The user prefaced the post by admitting they weren't sure if they were 'overreacting' or not - but according to the responses in the comments, it didn't seem to be so. 'Pretty much, I don't believe that officiant was a real priest, but rather a 30ish church goer who was recommended by a friend of the groom,' the Reddit user began. 'He spent a little too long talking about himself in my opinion and definitely didn't sound very professional,' the poster continued. But according to the guest, the end of the ceremony is where things began to take a a turn for the worst. 'Anyways near the end, he makes a comment about how it was a good thing that the groom was, "definitely marrying up,"' the poster typed. 'Meaning that the bride was significantly better looking than the groom.' 'I get that that could be seen as just a simple joke, but I guess if I was the bride I would be very mad if any part of the wedding ceremony speech was used to talk negatively about either of our looks,' the post continued. 'I also just felt like it was unprofessional.'

But I thought I would share it and see if anyone else finds that tacky?' And, strangely enough, many users seemed to relate to this wedding ceremony gaffe, sharing their own experiences in response. 'This happened to someone I know. The groom's father opposed the marriage and was incredibly rude to the bride when they met for the first time,' one user shared. The response continued: 'He caused a lot of stress and tension during the run up to the wedding. The priest who was to marry them got sick on the wedding day so a family friend of the bride’s parents stepped up. 'He excoriated the groom and told him in a really nasty voice, "never forget that you married up." It was horrible — the poor groom was innocent, he spent years trying to get his parents to accept his fiancée, he defended her, stood up to his father, etc., only to be publicly berated and humiliated at the altar.' Someone else wrote, 'I was at my friend's wife's funeral. Someone from their old church made a remark about how physically unattractive the deceased had been. 'Some bald pot-bellied boomer inappropriately dressed for a funeral. I wanted to go up to him at the reception and b**** slap him... and I later found out the Minister did to. Some people just shouldn't be allowed out in society.' 'Went to a Catholic wedding in about 2010, can't remember the exact date. The priest's homily droned on and on for about 45 minutes,' another person typed. But making a comment about the groom's appearance isn't the worst thing that could happen (stock image) Many users seemed to relate to this wedding ceremony gaffe, sharing their own experiences in response 'During that time, the priest mentioned at least three times that the bride should be obedient and a good mother,' they continued, in part. 'He told the groom just to be a good provider. I was so mad you could probably see steam coming out of my ears.' And, while some people didn't have the same experience at other weddings they've been to, they did agree it was 'tacky' for the officiant to say what they did. 'Officiant was beyond tacky. His/her job is to perform a marriage ceremony, nothing more, nothing less,' one Redditor pointed out. 'That's a comment you might save for a speech at the reception, not in the middle of the ceremony,' another agreed. 'And even then, unless you are a really good friend of the family, it would be out of line.' But making a comment about the groom's appearance isn't the worst thing that could happen. In another post on the Wedding Shaming forum on Reddit last year, some brides exposed their worst-behaved wedding guests. 'My bridesmaid's boyfriend drank eight martinis and threw up in the women’s restroom,' one recalled. Another chimed in: 'My own mother interrupted my vows. Sometimes I still hear her shouting "Louder!" as I'm drifting off to sleep.' People wearing casual clothing was also an issue for another bride who was horrified when a guest's plus one turned up in denim capris and flip flops.
