Controversial reason man barred wife's bridesmaid
A man has asked whether he’s in the right for asking his fiancée to ban her friend from their wedding because she works in the adult entertainment industry.
The groom took to Reddit revealing that his future wife is very close friends with the adult industry star, who is well known and could possibly be asked for autographs at the wedding.
However, he is questioning whether or not he is being reasonable to bar the friend from the wedding.
“Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t disapprove of her at all, that’s her business. She’s great. But my family is staunchly religious,” he wrote.
“So much so that my mom said that if the wedding was not held in a chapel she would not be attending.
“I know it’s ridiculous but it’s my family. And it’s not just her, it’s that entire side with the exception of a few cousins and my siblings.”
He insisted the problem with having her attend the wedding is because of how “recognisable she is” and even admitted to having seen some of her videos.
“I’ll fully admit that prior to meeting her, I had watched a few of her videos just because of how viral they are,” he confessed.
“I’m sure other guys there will have seen her videos too, and if something gets mentioned or pointed out it could cause so much drama that I really don’t want to deal with on the wedding day.
“I also don’t want attention to be taken off the woman I’m marrying.”
The couple broached the subject and his fiancée said she would have her friend at the wedding regardless of what anyone thinks or says despite trying to compromise.
“She told me that she is one of her closest friends and that she’s not moving her out of our wedding just to appease my mother,” the man continued.
“I told her that I want our day to go off without a hitch and this is just mitigating risk.
“I also said that I felt that she owed me one because she vetoed a groomsman of mine because he cheated on someone in the bridal party.
“She felt it was unfair and now we’re at an impasse. She told me that the way I was behaving was gross and I was being an a**hole.”
The Reddit community did not hold back questioning why the man was so worried about his religious family’s reaction when they shouldn't be watching such content.
“And how, pray, is this deeply religious family going to recognise an adult film actress? Anyone who recognises her has no right to be outraged,” someone wrote.
“Your family is deeply religious, but you were going to have a cheating groomsman? How does that work? This is about you being a prude,” another commented.
“I’m dying to know how the ‘very religious’ mother would know who this person was,” another interjected.
