Debate erupts over groom's unconventional footwear choice

In what seems to be a picture perfect wedding, eagle-eyed social media users spotted one odd detail. 

The couple were snapped standing at the altar, and while everything else about their outfit seemed flawless, one Reddit user called the groom out for wearing black Crocs and black socks to his wedding. 

“Imagine you get ready for three hours and your groom shows up in Crocs,” the user said. 

“Crocs would be a legit reason to say no at the altar,” another wrote, before adding: “Crocs are a valid reason to not date someone. They are horrible.”

“He’s wearing a suit, maybe he has a problem with his feet that he can’t wear proper footwear,” a third commented

“Surely no one, no matter how casual in style, voluntarily leaves the house in Crocs?”

However many other social media users were quick to defend the wedding faux pas, with some saying that they wish they had done the same thing at their own weeding. 

“He probably has an injured foot or broken toe. He’s perfectly groomed (a pun) otherwise and obviously tried to camouflage his socks and crocs with his attire," one sympathised. 

“Ya I have really severe diabetic neuropathy in my feet, especially my toes. Doctor actually suggested Crocs as they have extra space and don’t restrict movement," another added.

“I wore flip flops under my dress. I hate heels with a passion,” a third wrote. 

"He's wearing a nice suit, matching dark socks so I'm not seeing an issue here as he probably has some kind of foot or back injury or pain. If I were marrying him this wouldn't bother me," added a fourth. 

“Let the man get married in something comfortable. My wife could have shown up in a potato sack barefoot for all I cared, she is there to marry me, not for a fashion show," a fifth defended.
