Swearing to love, honor and obey the bride – not her sister – is the name game.
We know that the nerves of some grooms take over in the minutes before the big jump. But when a nervous guy’s big mistake, calling his future wife by another woman’s name, is a “fucked up” slip of the tongue that the Internet refuses to forgive.
“POV: you’re standing at the altar and your husband calls you the wrong name,” Emma, a Brisbane-based bride, wrote in the captions of a chaotic clip from her ceremony.
Footage from the nightmarish nuptials, which has garnered more than 2.2 million views, shows her groom pledging his life and undying love to “Emily”, rather than her, Emma.
“Plot twist,” the blonde captioned the video. “That’s my sister’s name. Always being called Emily at the altar.”
Today, the savages of social media want to change the face of man – and worse.
“I’m going to have to kill him,” spat one furious commentator.
“I would have left and canceled the wedding,” wrote another. “This is the most humiliating marriage outcome possible. I am truly sorry, daughter.”
“Oh hell no,” barked an equally irritated onlooker, while hundreds of others compared the groom’s gaffe to that of the fictional “Friends” character “Ross Geller,” played by David Schwimmer, who made a similar boo while getting married.
“Seriously, if there’s a part of you that thinks maybe this is weird, you’re right,” one concerned viewer noted in part. “It’s really strange, and sometimes it’s the simplest stories that reveal the biggest lies.”
But even the most glaring warnings haven’t stopped other brides from saying “yes” to a potentially doomed future.
From girls who go with the flow after having a cake smashed in their face, to indulgent lovers who turn a blind eye to their groom and bridesmaid exchanging physical flirtations, permissive women have overlooked a lot.
But experts warn that misbehavior on the wedding day can portend even more sinister problems to come.
“While not every wedding day is ‘perfect,’ ideally all parties involved look back on the day with good feelings and fond memories,” Carly Dober, a psychologist, said in a statement about a groom who dunked his bride in a swimming pool.
“Behavior like this can highlight disparities in some heterosexual relationships where women’s feelings are not valued and where they may not be respected by their partners,” the professional warned.
Emma, however, sees her husband’s hiccups as stupid fake talk rather than wanton disrespect.
“If it was a random name I would have QUESTIONS,” she wrote in response to one commenter’s shock. “My sister is my best friend. I have no worries.”
