A GROOM has been slammed over the outfit he wore to his own wedding, with people calling it “gross” and “depressing”.
Some even suggested that his bride must have been begging him to marry her for a decade.
Posting a picture of their wedding day to social media, the bride said: “Today was my day!
“We did it, 13 years together and I married my forever partner”.
In the picture, the bride is wearing a long flowing white lace dress.
However, her husband looks like he is attending an entirely different event and is sporting a red Nike top, a pair of gym shorts and some trainers.
Sharing the post to Reddit, one unimpressed user said: “13 years together and he can’t even manage some nice jeans.
“Ugh I try so hard not to judge, but after 13 years together you’d think the groom could put in a little more effort than dressing like some middle schooler on the way to the gym.”
The post was flooded with responses from users, many of whom were also not impressed by the groom’s attire.
One person said: “This is giving ‘I begged him to propose for a literal decade and he only finally agreed when I gave him an ultimatum”.
Replying to this, another person said: “Literally, I’d be so hurt if my partner made it so obvious that he wasn’t putting even an iota of effort into the wedding day.”
A third person said: “He looks like he just wandered in off the street.
“Oh, hey – need a groom? Sign me up.
“At least make the min effort. Gross.”
A fourth said: “What he’s wearing, wouldn’t be acceptable for even going on a date.
“I hate it. I hate all of it.

I’ll never forget the wedding I went to in October 2022 where a guest wore a white dress.
It was ill-fitting, knee length and looked nothing like an actual wedding dress, but that didn’t stop everyone judging her.
The rules on wedding guest outfits – which are annoyingly loads stricter for women than they are for men – are meant to be about “not upstaging the bride”, which in reality is quite hard to do on someone else’s wedding day.
But if you get it wrong as a guest, you do end up looking a bit silly, and in front of loads of people who don’t know you personally.
It’s just not the occasion for your new white dress, as much as online stores love dumping them in the ‘wedding guest’ section.
I’d avoid anything too tight/short, and ditch super formal gowns unless the dress code calls for them – you don’t want to be in a full length sequin gown at a smart casual event.
Personally I don’t like black dresses either, it isn’t a funeral.
Otherwise you should be pretty safe. Technically wearing red means you’re in love with the groom, but that’s the kind of rule most people would scoff at nowadays.
I do always check what colour the bridesmaids are in, just to be safe, after the Spanish wedding where I watched them walk down the aisle in the exact same dress I’d had in my Asos shopping basket just weeks earlier.
If in doubt, safest to just double check with the bride… but if you’re already doubting your dress that might be all the answer you need.
“The fact that her grown-ass man husband wore this outfit is depressing.”
A fifth added: ” I wouldn’t have married him.
“If my husband had shown up dressed like that, I would have turned the car around, gone home, and changed the locks.”
