One’s wedding day is among the most significant and treasured moments for everybody. People want their wedding day to be ideal and something they will remember forever. Every little detail matters, and the entire day must be perfect, from the dress to the decorations, from the food to the music. However, sometimes despite the detailed planning, some problems may occur that can make the bride or groom upset. Additionally, if one of them is upset, the other one soon follows. When tensions are high and emotions are running high, even the smallest disruption can feel like the end of the world.

    Furious husband spoke to the head of church and got the incompetent deacon fired

    Reddit user “TastyTacticalTrout” recently posted his sweet revenge story after the deacon at their wedding instructed his wife that she could not walk down the aisle because she was not wearing a veil. On their wedding day, right before the ceremony, which, of course, made her cry. The post caught a lot of attention and went viral as in just 2 days, it got more than 5K upvotes and 400 comments.

    The author starts the story with the statement that his wife wanted to get married in a church. He had his doubts, but “happy wife – happy life”, you know. Moving forward to the wedding day, he mentioned that the ceremony went great, everybody was happy. However, it was not for long, as he noticed that his sister and wife had been crying before walking down the aisle. A few moments later, he found out that the deacon had informed the bride right before she was about to get married that she couldn’t do that as she was not wearing a veil.

    Fast forward after the honeymoon, the author decided to make a few not-so-pleasant visits to the church. He spoke with everybody who he could find and complained, argued and stood everybody on their toes. After such an experience on their wedding day, the author believed that the deacon deserved some serious punishment or some kind of consequences.

    A few months later, the man found out that this infamous deacon had been fired and probably didn’t have the best reputation to begin with. The OP is convinced that his outburst and his visits had paid off and the man got his petty revenge by firing the deacon.

    Bored Panda contacted Alisha Jemelian, who is a wedding designer and blogger, and she agreed to share her insights regarding the rules and wedding attire in the church.

    “I have designed over 10,000 veils for brides from 20+ countries, and I haven’t had any priests or pastors require their brides to wear a veil,” elaborated Alisha. “However, I find that the mother of the bride or the future mother-in-law can pressure the bride to wear a veil, bolero, or wrap to make her wedding gown more church-appropriate. My brides that I work with are often most upset by the comments made from the mother of the bride or a bridesmaid rather than comments made from a priest or pastor,” she added.

    Now, speaking about the rules that may be listed if you are considering getting married at the church, the designer says that “Most churches and denominations will have their own set of rules for what is considered “appropriate” for a church wedding. Brides are often encouraged to wear ablusher, which is the layer that goes over the face, and this layer is removed up and over the bride’s face after walking to the front of the church. This also creates more modesty for brides who may have a low-cut wedding gown.”

    So, is it necessary to wear a veil on your wedding day? Alisha Jemelian elaborated that “For many brides, the tradition of wearing a veil in a church wedding is deeply ingrained. However, as times change, so do the expectations and rules. I think that wearing a veil for your church wedding is a beautiful sign of respect, but I do not think it is totally necessary. Brides should wear what makes them feel comfortable and most beautiful.”

    Also, don’t forget to check out Alisha’s website and Instagram! If you are planning your wedding and need a styling guide, feel free toreach out to her!

    Well, looks like the deacon deserved the punishment he got and had no right to even mention to the bride that she must wear a veil.

    My wife is a Muslim, her parents passed away before we met but she was telling me of the time she went to her local mosque to say a prayer for them. She was refused entry as she was not wearing a headscarf and the imam spent several minutes telling her how she was going to hell for not wearing a headscarf. She is not particularly religious but that was seriously uncalled for

    Twlling her she was going to hell for not wearing the head covering was a complete a*****e move. But its also a little ignorant to expect to be let in to a place of worship without following thejr rules.

    I'm confused. If she cried before walking down the aisle because of him. How is it possible he only noticed AFTER the ceremony? He didn't lift the veil and see her? I'm assuming this was just poorly worded and he assumed those tears were wedding related?

    This seems fake if it's a Roman Catholic church. For one thing, it's highly unlikely that they would perform the ceremony at all if the neither person was Catholic, nor would they do it without a lengthy preparation process. Women are never required to wear veils, at least not in America. The only time that laywomen must wear a veil as far as I know is when having an audience with the Pope. Also, the deacons are ordained clergy. They don't get "fired." They might not be allowed to coordinate weddings anymore, but they don't get fired. Before people come at me, I work at a Catholic church. I deal with this process. We had to say no to a wedding last month because the "bride" was still married under Church law. Our pastor wouldn't have done it for any amount of money.

    The whole story is made up. The only thing missing is the "then everyone clapped" line. Most people are unaware of the steps involved in the process of setting up a marriage ceremony, that, I believe, is how this got traction to begin with.

    Thanks to the groom for kicking up a fuss and getting that deacon fired. Many wedding parties have been spared from what the bride went through.

    Well, technically it would be "F*ck those in any church that act like the deacon". Honestly, the only church I can think of that would work for your statement would be anything evangelical. But that's just an opinion.

    I don't why he complains about the "$1000 voluntary donation"? It is totally justified. They're clearly going there instead of another location for the ritual not because they believe hellfire is the only alternative; so it's a show you buy, and that's the cost of running that large & badly designed old building that's empty much of the time.

    I think the complaint was it is called a donation instead of rental or reservation fee. You donate out of kindness or charity, it isn't obligatory to get a service

    What denomination still requires a veil? I wonder if this deacon got fired (reassigned?) for incorrectly imposing his opinion on the marrying couple? I mean, let's say in their denomination, veils are necessary at weddings. (There are, for instance, still some Catholic priests who prefer brides to wear veils out of traditionalism.) How do you end up dropping this bomb on the bride right before the wedding? "Oh, I just happen to have two veils in my back pocket?" (I'm pretty sure this wasn't Catholic, only because I can't imagine why the bride's *sister* would wear a veil; it would be wrong of a Catholic priest to demand a veil*, but then again, since he was reassigned (?), clearly his action *was* seen as wrong by his superiors.) (*There are probably exceptions given all the various rites and ancient traditions, but this wouldn't be a last-minute bomb you drop on someone.)
