A groom has sparked laughter on social media after sharing what transpired on his wedding day at a church.
Through a TikTok video, the man, who had a thick beard, explained that his facial hair almost ruined his big day after he clashed with the pastor officiating his wedding.
According to him, he arrived at the church full of joy, but the pastor dismissed him, informing him that he wouldn’t conduct the ceremony unless the groom shaved his beard.
Faced with this unexpected challenge, the groom had to make a quick decision and find a nearby barber to trim his beard in order to save his wedding day.
In the video, he is seen at a street barber, hurriedly trimming his beard before rushing back to the church to proceed with the ceremony.
In a caption, the man's face is shown with a quote explaining the situation.
The caption reads: "I was kicked out of church because of my beard on my wedding day. When I was kicked out, the pastor said he wouldn’t officiate the ceremony unless I shaved my beard," the man explains, sitting in a car with his best man.
As the video continues to spread online, many people have flooded the comments section to share their thoughts on the church’s decision.
Here are some reactions:
PIKITO661: “Some churches also practice extremism. If I have a courthouse wedding, I'll just have a better reception in the evening with a few friends and family. I’m not up for church drama.”
Palblackdiamond: “Didn't they see you during counseling sessions to tell you about this?”
odinakaifeoma: “If I’m the bride, no one would throw my husband out of the church because of his beard. They should be more concerned about teaching him to be a selfless and caring husband and father, not about his appearance.”
