A groom has revealed he wants to divorce his wife just days after walking down the aisle as he claims she ruined the wedding day.
The married man, who is 44 years old, took to Reddit to complain about his 42-year-old wife shortly after saying ‘I do’ and explained the big day had been riddled with issues – including one incident that completely broke his trust.
On the thread, the new husband said a black cloud hung over his wedding day thanks to his wife’s egregious actions.
He lamented he now feels like he ‘married someone else’ after his wife changed her hair colour two days before the big day.
He complained that she had abandoned her ‘regular girl next door style’ and along with her new hair colour she had also worn a ‘revealing’ dress that left him stunned. But it was a request she made of her guests behind the groom’s back that really left him reeling.
The Reddit-poster complained that his bride’s dress showed off her legs and cleavage and was too sexy to be walking down the aisle in.
He even thought that some of the male guests avoided her all night out of embarrassment.
He wrote: ‘On the wedding day, she showed up wearing a sheer lace dress that was too revealing and no flesh coloured lining.

‘I could see her whole legs and her undies (they were lace and not sheer). I would have preferred that she didn’t wear her cleavage bursting out. It wasn’t necessary.
‘I thought sexiness was reserved for the wedding night, not for our guests to see. I would have been okay with it had I been used to this being her style, but I don’t know what happened.
‘Our friends and families (males) kept a bit distant trying to avoid her and I think it’s because they were trying to be respectful. The top of the dress wasn’t sheer, but her breasts were almost popping out and she couldn’t dance as happily and carefree as she always does because of it.
The groom explained that he knew it was a minor detail and just an ‘aesthetic dispute’ that he would forget about eventually but he said it went against their traditional family’s values.
While the dress and hair colour were a shock, the new husband revealed what really upset him was the discovery that his wife had been asking for money from guests without his knowledge.
The Reddit poster explained that they had previously agreed not to ask their guests for money – although he clarified they did get ‘cash gifts and physical presents’ – but was shocked to find out his wife had tired to establish a minimum fee.
He revealed he only discovered the betrayal after her best friend dropped out of the wedding due to pressure to give extra cash.
The groom confessed he had been left disappointed because ‘the church was missing a chunk of guests’ and he felt a ‘black cloud’ hanging over them all day.

He went on to say that the trust between him and his new wife is completely broken because he lost friends and people he cared about.
He added: ‘I don’t see how therapy can fix this. It’s not just about my trust, but about how this person is a whole human being apart from the woman that I thought I knew.’
On the Reddit thread, the recently married man asked whether it was reasonable to ask for a divorce even though he knew it would ‘destroy her’ and said he wanted to at least file for a legal separation.
He added he felt he could no longer go on ‘sleeping next to someone who was willing to take from others’ and said he felt too betrayed.
And other Reddit users rushed to his defence with one writing: ‘I would run if I realised my fiancé’s idea about a wedding was about filing up her bank account. A wedding should be a celebration of love. I don’t have an opinion about her dress.’
Another said: ‘Divorce or annulment. If she does things like this behind your back before marriage, think of the things she will do behind your back now that she has you locked in.
‘A good foundation for any relationship is built on trust, respect and clear communication at the bare minimum and she violated all three. Run for the hills.’
And one commented: ‘The clothing thing is not important, but lying and pressuring loved ones for money behind your back is an early indicator of how your life will be going. Is this someone you can spend the rest of your life with? I think the answer is no.’
The Reddit post caused controversy among other users who rushed to give their own opinions on he situation with some siding with the groom and others encouraging the bride to run
But others were on the wife’s side and criticised the groom for slating his new bride’s wedding dress, encouraging her to run for the hills.
One person said: ‘The money hustling is tacky and worth divorcing over. Hating her hair/dress is tacky and worth her divorcing you over.
‘So maybe you two flawed people should talk about all this, apologize to each other, and do better moving forward.’
Another user wrote: ‘This poor woman has married a complete monster.’
